It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Canadians, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in our country have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, sometimes they cannot live independently without someone by their side to provide care. Unfortunately, many older Canadians aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Valley Ridge, AB is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite activities and hobbies while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy other activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress helps reduce the risks of caregiver burnout. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
When it comes to non-medical home care, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
Studies on aging have found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Valley Ridge, AB, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the CBC, aging in place can be more affordable than living in a retirement home, which can cost thousands of dollars a month, with no extra care included.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With ABC's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Valley Ridge, AB understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced ABC Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your Care Plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Valley Ridge, AB 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

During the pre-season, most skiers throughout North America are stuck playing the waiting game, anxiously watching snow forecasts, and going to sleep each night thinking of colder days ahead.
At ski resorts, there’s no time to waste. Glading, grading, snowmaking, and, perhaps most exciting, new lifts all need to be attended to, ensuring any given resort is spic and span before the first skiers of the season arrive.
This spring and summer, over 40 ski lift projects are underway. While we won’t bury you in an avalanche of chairlift projects—there really are too many to name here—these are ten of the latest chairlift installations appearing at ski resorts across North America this coming winter.
Alpental, one of several ski areas in the Summit at Snoqualmie, Washington, cluster, has long had a bottleneck problem. All the ski area’s most interesting terrain is accessed via two vertically stacked lifts—the Armstrong Express and Edelweiss—meaning the crowds could get big on busy days.
The Internationale (the “e” was added this coming season—intentionally), which will head up the skiers’ right side of Alpental's terrain and provide access to Knoll Zero, Snake Dance, Felson, Lower Internationale, and the Alpental Back Bowls, aims to release some of this pressure. All told, Internationale will increase Alpental's total uphill capacity by 25% and dramatically alter the ski area’s lift layout.
The Madison 8’s construction comes amidst a flurry of lift development activity at Big Sky Resort, Montana. Last winter, the upgraded Lone Peak Tram debuted, transporting skiers to 11,166 feet in style. This coming season, the Madison 8, which replaces Six Shooter, will join the Lone Peak Tram’s swanky ranks.
The Madison 8 is a record-setting state-of-the-art Doppelmayr D-Line lift with a bubble, heated seats, and an automatic bar. It effectively doubles uphill capacity and, once complete, will be the longest eight-person lift in the world. Big Sky skiers won’t need to wait very long for something new and shiny after Madison 8. In winter 2025-2026, a new two-stage gondola will replace the Explorer Chair.
The Keetley Express is one of three new lifts scheduled to debut at Deer Valley, Utah, as part of the ongoing Expanded Excellence initiative, which will have added 3,700 acres of skiable terrain once complete. The other two lifts—Hoodoo Express and Aurora—will serve beginner terrain. But the Keetley Express, Deer Valley’s first six-person lift with a bubble, connects the new terrain accessible from the East Village to the resort’s preexisting footprint. While the Keetley Express doesn’t dramatically shake up Deer Valley’s terrain, it hints at grander things to come.
Out East is seeing some lift action, too. Hunter Mountain, New York, is replacing its preexisting four-person, fixed-grip Broadway Lift with a high-speed six-seater. The uphill capacity gains will be significant—the new and improved Broadway Lift (fittingly dubbed the “Broadway Express”) will increase capacity by 50%, whisking skiers uphill faster than ever before.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming’s aged Sublette Lift is a classic. As the resort’s highest-altitude lift (excluding the iconic Aerial Tram), it serves a mixture of challenging terrain and long, smooth cruisers—and is known for being one of North America’s spookiest lifts, particularly on windy days. After 37 years of schlepping skiers, the resort decided it was time for something new.
The upgraded Sublette will be much quicker than its predecessor and feature heavy, more wind-resistant Leitner-Poma chairs. Its predecessors’ ride time was about ten minutes. Next winter, trips to Sublette’s upper terminal will take just over four minutes, cutting the original ride time in half and allowing skiers to gain a staggering 1,600 feet at pace.
Broadway Express, or Chair 1, has a lot of history behind it. As Mammoth Mountain, California’s first chairlift, it revolutionized the skiing experience at the resort. The Broadway Express became a high-speed quad in 1988, a form it occupied for 36 years until 2024, when Mammoth Mountain began undergoing the installation of a new lift.
Set to open this coming winter, the new and improved Broadway Express will be a six-person, high-speed Doppelmayr D-Line that provides 25% more uphill capacity. Another perk: enclosed upper and lower terminals will protect the chairs during Mammoth’s notoriously stormy days, allowing for quicker opening times after big dumps.

Situated centrally on Blackcomb Mountain's piste, Jersey Cream is a lift infrastructure staple that transports skiers to the Rendezvous Lodge. Next winter, it’ll be newer and faster. The upgraded Jersey Cream is slated to improve uphill capacity by 29% and is a six-person, high-speed Doppelmayr chairlift. It’ll have the same alignment as its predecessor with one twist: the new Jersey Cream will spin in the opposite direction than it did in previous years.
If you guessed that this next lift would also be a six-person Doppelmayr chairlift, you’d be correct. The upgraded Seattle Ridge chairlift at Sun Valley replaces an aging four-person lift. Its terrain network straddles beginner and expert runs, with the latter including 91 additional gladed acres created as part of the Bald Mountain Stewardship program. The new lift will join two recent additions to Sun Valley’s fleet, the Challenger Lift and Flying Squirrel Lift, which were completed as part of the Warm Springs Enhancement Project.
Up North, Banff Sunshine Village, Alberta, has bid farewell to its beloved Angel Express, making way for what they bill as a luxury chairlift: the Super Angel Luxury Express. The new lift, built in collaboration with Leitner-Poma, will have heated bucket seats, comfy footrests, and a yellow weather protection bubble cover. It will also have EVO premium technology, which doesn’t use a traditional gearbox configuration, making the aerial trip uphill smoother.
More chairlift action is happening at Banff Sunshine Village’s sister resort, Lake Louise. Once known as the Upper Juniper Chair, the newly renamed Pipestone Express is a high-speed six-person with heated lifts. This one’s speedy: it moves at 5.08 meters per second, has a ride of 6.6 minutes, and can transport 2,000 people per hour. Once open, the Pipestone Express will provide improved access to Lake Louise’s upper mountain area, facilitating faster laps in the West Bowl.

“We’re fully expecting Kananaskis Country is going to be extremely busy with larch season, especially if the weather is favourable.”

KANANASKIS COUNTRY – Thousands of visitors will soon be flocking to Kananaskis Country to witness the fleeting transformation of larches, a unique subset of coniferous trees, as their needles turn from green to brilliant yellow.
It’s why Alberta Parks is advising anyone planning to take in the seasonal phenomenon to have a plan B, C and even a plan D.
“We’re fully expecting Kananaskis Country is going to be extremely busy with larch season, especially if the weather is favourable,” said Debbie Mucha, Kananaskis West area manager with Alberta Parks.
Alberta Parks is gearing up for what has become one of the busiest times of year in the province’s backyard mountain playground, especially with the rise of social media and listicles gone viral naming the ‘top 10 larch hikes to see this fall.’
“We do have planning in place, which we do every year for larch season, and especially this year with the Highwood Pass area having limited parking and intermittent and ongoing closures due to the ongoing construction,” said Mucha.
The Highwood Meadows day-use area, which currently accommodates about 60 vehicles with access to several hiking trails off Highway 40, will see its parking capacity expanded in a paving project that began in July and is expected to take until November 2025 to complete.
The work means there will be very limited parking, if any, available at Highwood Pass – a popular hiking destination for larch hikes. Alberta Parks is advising would-be larch-lookers to avoid the area altogether.
“We’re not allowing roadside parking and that would include the Highwood Meadows interpretive trail, Pocaterra Cirque and Pocaterra Ridge routes, Arethusa Cirque and Ptarmigan Cirque,” said Mucha.
“The best resource for visitors to look at is to go to advisories on albertaparks.ca prior to setting out and just ensuring that they’re familiar with what’s open, what’s closed, if there’s any wildlife warnings in the area or construction closures – that would be the first step.”
Mucha described construction in the Highwood as “short-term pain for long-term gain” and recommended having a backup plan for an alternative hike if parking is not available at a chosen trailhead.
It’s also advised to avoid parking along roadways anywhere in Kananaskis as it poses a public safety risk and can impact emergency vehicle access, as well as in ditches, which can damage vegetation.
Friends of Kananaskis Country executive director Trevor Julian recommended going out mid-week or early in the morning to avoid crowds. In 2023, Kananaskis Country saw 4.7 million visitors.
“If you have to go on the weekend, try to avoid mid-day,” he said.
“There’s also lots of great spots in K-Country to see the larches that aren’t in the Highwood Pass.”
In fall 2022, 1,218 respondents to an Alberta Parks-led study of visitor and recreation use in the Highwood Pass said they were predominantly using area trails such as Ptarmigan Cirque, Arethusa Cirque and Pocaterra Ridge/Cirque.
That year, there were 4.3 million visitors, with 450,000 of those visiting in September alone.
In every month surveyed, respondents suggested more parking to improve visitor experience, but most notably in September and at Highwood Meadows day-use area, coinciding with the onset of the busy larch hiking season, which lasts about three to four weeks through September and October.
Julian recommended Chester Lake, Centennial Ridge, Yamnuska, Mount Lorette Ponds, Prairie View and Buller Pass trails as a few alternatives to take in the larches where there are also larger parking lots.
Julian and Mucha also cautioned visitors to be considerate of wildlife movements in the fall and to be prepared for rapidly changing weather.
“This is also a busy time for the animals. In terms of bears, they are trying to consume as many calories as they can so they’re out and about,” said Julian.
For ungulates like moose and elk, it’s rutting season.
“Give them a large clearance when you see them because they can be aggressive,” he said.
It’s important to carry bear spray, keep it accessible and know how to use it, as well as pack an emergency satellite phone, along with an extra battery.
“Often where larches are located in Kananaskis, we don’t have cell coverage, so make sure you leave a good trip plan with a trusted family member or friend,” said Mucha.
“Regardless of larch season and fall hiking, the weather can change quickly in the mountains, so be prepared for your hike. Pack those extra layers, including warm layers, rain gear and good footwear, as well.”
