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 Hamilton, ON is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

I would confidently recommend ABC to anyone seeking trusted, caring support for their loved ones.”
“5 Stars. Always Best Care offered kind and professional support when my 90 year old Mom needed it most. Absolutely grateful. Thank You again.”
“Excellent service! My mother experienced rapid dementia decline and we needed short term support for her safety (wandering) while making new living arrangements. Steve impressed me immediately with how quickly he responded and was able to provide support. He really took the time to understand and address my concerns, asking great questions to get to know my mother so the team could provide the best care in ways that were comfortable for her. PSW’s Jennifer and Rose were both great fits for my mom, really connecting with her. Each morning I received an update on how the night went - these gave me assurance, and also helped me understand how to better communicate with my mother, so we can spending time together again instead of me always focusing on taking care of things.”
“I want to say how amazing our experience with Always Best Care has been. The PSWs that took care of my mother were wonderful with her: caring, patient and treated her with compassion and dignity. The service from the company was flexible, organized, accomodating and their focus was on our needs, not what worked for them. If we ever needed this service again, I would not hesitate to call them. Thank you to all of you for taking care of her.”
“Steve Kelly from Always Best Care is truly exceptional. I’ve seen firsthand how much knowledge he brings to families navigating dementia and Alzheimer’s — including my own, with a mother-in-law who’s affected. His breadth of knowledge, the depth of understanding, the tools he offers, and the support he provides are incredible. What stands out most is Steve himself: compassionate, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping people feel supported during an overwhelming time. If you ever need guidance with senior care or dementia-related challenges, Steve is someone you can trust completely. Jacquie Manore”

For any care needs, have a discussion with Always Best Care.”
“I recently met with Steve from Always Best Care and was genuinely impressed by his deep understanding of the gaps in the current healthcare system for Canadian seniors.

He is dedicated to ensuring they receive the necessary support and care. Highly recommended!”

“Coree and Steve did an amazing job adapting to our changing needs for scheduling help for our mother. All of the PSW staff that helped take care of my mother - who was recovering from surgery and also has some dementia - were excellent. I highly recommend Always Best Care and would definitely use them again when we need private PSW support.”
“We reached out to Always Best Care when we were in crisis with our mother and needed urgent in home care. They were immediately able to help us. Coree understands how difficult it is to deal with a parent who has dementia and that as a family we struggle to navigate what is the "right" thing to do. Always Best Care have been supportive and understanding as we have had to pivot and make changes in our home care plan. Their home care providers are compassionate and kind. I highly recommend their services.”

“Right from the beginning I knew Always Best Care was the right choice to help support my mother for post-surgery care for her hip-replacement. From my initial phone conversation followed by in-person consultation, Coree the Executive Director was outstanding. She was professional, supportive, attentive and reassuring, taking time to answer our questions. As my mom’s needs changed, Coree was easily accessible and flexible in accommodating scheduling requests. Not to mention she would call to check up on my mom to see how she was progressing.Thank you to Coree and the PSW team at Always Best Care for being reliable, empathetic and caring. We will definitely reach out again when needed.”
“My mom had a fall and broke both wrists. After being released from respite care Coree and her staff from ABC came highly recommended. Mom’s home care was amazing, the staff were so kind and attentive to her needs. When it was time to reduce the number of weekly visits she was accommodated immediately. I can’t thank them enough for their ongoing communication with us. It was also a very emotional time, from being totally independent to all of the sudden needing assistance. My mom said to me on several occasions ‘the PSWs treated me with dignity and kindness, they were like friends’. I would highly recommend their services. It gave our family peace of mind knowing mom was being so well looked after and we noticed how her spirits improved along with her recovery.”

They are also very flexible with cancellation requests last minute service requests and overall scheduling.

We would recommend ABC without reservations to anyone looking for this type of service. Thank you to Steve, Coree and the rest of the team, you have made our life challenges a little easier to manage.”
“Capable and Caring. Recommended.”
“We have utilized the services of Always Best Care on 2 separate occasions for post operation, in-home support.

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in Canada. 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 Hamilton, ON, 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 Hamilton, ON 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 Hamilton, ON 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.

Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton and reality star Kim Kardashian just threw fuel on the viral dating rumors.
While the pair have yet to officially confirm they're an item, they're continuing to travel the globe together, suggesting that a budding relationship is indeed happening behind the scenes.
Over the weekend, the F1 driver and "Keeping up with the Kardashians" star didn't try to hide their latest hangout when they stepped out on the streets of Tokyo together with Kim's sister, Khloe Kardashian.
In video footage obtained by "TMZ," Hamilton, 41, and Kim, 45, seemed happy as they took a casual stroll through the Japanese city.
At one point in the video, the reality star and ex-wife of rapper Kanye West stopped and looked back to acknowledge an eager fan.
In the short clip, Kim was sporting a form-fitting gray maxi dress paired with black stiletto heels, while Hamilton was dressed casually in a brown coat and dark pants.
"Two icons, both at the top of their games, navigating their own lanes—and now, maybe, together," one fan commented on X.
"This isn’t dating, this is a world tour soft launch Tokyo already? We’re moving FAST fast," a second wrote.
"that’s a global pairing people didn’t see coming," a third added.
"Looks like Kim and Lewis are taking their romance international!" another commented.
It's unclear what the pair plan on doing while in Tokyo.
Hamilton is on a short break after placing third in the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, while Kardashian continues to film her Hulu reality show and juggling her acting career, law school, motherhood, and Skims business.

Hamilton and Kardashian were first linked in January after the pair were spotted hanging out together at actress Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen.
Around the same time, the pair were also seen enjoying a romantic weekend at the Estelle Manor in the English countryside together.
They then jetted off to Paris together after taking a private flight over from the UK, according to video footage obtained from TMZ.
The momentum didn't stop there.
Kardashian and Hamilton continued spending time together, including sitting side by side at Super Bowl 60 together, and on an Arizona getaway.
According to the "Daily Mail," the Formula One driver "is head over heels with the Skims owner and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match" in Kim.
A source told the outlet the couple is "very committed to making things work" and "this could be the endgame for them both."
Kim was last linked to ex-husband, Kanye West, with whom she shares four children - North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm. Hamilton, meanwhile, was last linked to Sofia Vergara in 2025 and Shakira in 2023.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton just turned a casual Tokyo outing into headline material. The duo stepped out together, and let’s just say, the internet didn’t stay quiet for long.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton recently stepped out together in Tokyo, keeping the dating buzz alive. Photos and fan clips showed them looking relaxed and close. At one point, Kardashian even had her arm around the seven-time F1 champion. Khloé Kardashian also joined them during the outing.
Kim Kardashian went for a sleek look, wearing a fitted gray dress with a high slit and bold boots. Hamilton kept it relaxed with a brown jacket and loose pants. The moment quickly blew up online. Fans noticed their chemistry and started talking, adding more heat to the ongoing rumors.
This isn’t the first time the pair has sparked speculation. Back in February, they were spotted boarding a private jet together in Europe. They also reportedly attended the same New Year’s Eve party in Aspen and later sat side-by-side at the 2026 Super Bowl. Even small details, like Hamilton dropping a heart-eyes emoji on Kardashian’s Oscars after-party post, have kept fans guessing.
Kim Kardashian has previously said she still believes in love, once sharing, “I believe in love… hopefully there will be just one more wedding for me. Fourth time’s the charm!” That comment is now resurfacing as fans connect the dots (via E! Online).
Online reactions have been mixed but loud. Some questioned how long the rumored relationship might last, while others pointed out that Kim Karadhian and Lewis Hamilton have been friends since 2014, suggesting this could be more serious. A few doubted the pairing entirely, with one remarking there’s “no way he is bringing her to the track,” while others admitted they look good together and hope it works out. At the same time, many urged people to back off, saying it’s “none of our business” and that both deserve happiness like anyone else.
