SO GLAD we found Always Best Care!! Lynn Pique was easy to work with & ready with great referrals…read morefor things she doesn't cover. We got a call that my mom's assisted living facility was shutting down & I found myself with only a WEEK to find her a new place AND get her moved in! Some said it couldn't be done -- and if I hadn't had Lynn and the movers she referred me to, I probably wouldn't have made my deadline. I had done a lot of research before I found Lynn. I was VERY RELUCTANT to use a "service" to find another assisted living facility for my mom, as we'd had a HORRIBLE experience the last time with "A Place for Mom" -- they were SO BAD -- But a friend referred me to Lynn so I called her. She, too, had had a bad experience with that Place, so she understood my hesitation. She gave me a few places and I called. I felt like she definitely knew the properties better than I did AND she NEVER pressured me about anything. She was helpful, kind and patient through the whole maddening process -- SO MANY things to consider! This is not an easy business to be in & there is a LOT of competition for few rooms available -- especially when a whole facility is shutting down & everyone is looking for new apartments. Thank you!!!! My mom LOVES her new place!

Lois Engel was a godsend for me. My mom has early-stage dementia, and I was running back and forth…read morebetween KY and TN for a year. Up til now, mom hasn't been interested in having anyone "in her house", yet she couldn't do it all herself anymore. Lois selected a caregiver to match our needs, Carla (my hero). We've had two visits. Carla has vaccumed, cleaned out the frig, and cooked. Here are some direct quotes from my mom today (7/30/2014)... - she cooked some of the best salmon I ever put in my mouth - she made it fun rather than an ordeal (cleaning out frig) - I'm extremely pleased, super job, pleasantly surprised - she took control, went in there and did it and did it well - we were kidding each other, enjoying ourselves Carla lives close to the town grocery, and said another thing she can do is shop for groceries before heading to mom and dad's house. She keeps her eyes open and notices areas she can help in, plus, is open to any ideas I want to text her. Lois is a marvelous blend of professionalism and, what do you call it? "Down-home neighborliness". When you meet her, you feel like you've known her all your life, and you can tell her anything. She really knew how to talk to my mom. Lois "gets it" regarding dementia patients; she's a retired geriatric nurse. Right now Carla is coming one day a week, for four hours each visit. The cost is $19/hr. As mom and dad need more help, we can increase the hours and expand the tasks.

She has a couple of close friends, but she has become far more frail, is on a limited, fixed income and is being extremely cautious given the COVID-19 pandemic. With my extremely busy schedule, I used to worry about her health, loneliness, anxiety and a gradual onset of dementia. Not any more; CAB has relieved me of those worries and improved my mother's state of mind, health and quality of life in ways I did not imagine when we began services two years ago. Between a dedicated, compassionate and responsive Care Manager, Traci, handling all of my mother's medication management, numerous doctors appointments and medical advocacy and a variety of Care Partners helping her with house work, going for walks with her, just checking on her or sitting with her making puzzles, CAB has become more than a lifeline; they are an extended family. CAB is unique in the home aging-well-in-place industry in many ways, not the least of which is their more flexible time scheduling system. The dedication shown daily by the founder and CEO, Mary, her executive team, the staff and the care providers shows in how organized things run and how kind and energized everyone is. The fee is inconsequential to the peace of mind CAB has given me. I now am able to be my mother's son, first and foremost again and she is able to be a happy grandparent to my two sons. I have no idea how we survived without CAB before.
