Always.As a seasoned professional in the senior care needs industry, Michael Newman felt frustrated by the limited resources of seniors in his community. This frustration eventually shaped his vision - to create a company that would serve seniors in the community by providing trusted care, compassionate support and professional advice. In 1996, Michael acted on his vision and founded Always Best Care. Since that time, Always Best Care has become the nations leading non-medical, In-Home Care and Assisted Living Placement Services company. People with passion have made Always Best Care what it is today and although times may change, our foundation never will.  In-Home Care ServicesDignity and Respect are the hallmarks of our philosophy when caring for seniors. We have implemented rigorous standards to ensure that your loved one receives the ultimate in-home care.

We receive great satisfaction in being included in our clients' lives. Caring is the essence of our job.

What's New???
Seriously... it seems like we are working on a new program or event every week. I hope you get down this far in Grand Views to read about it! LOL
Your Member Retention Committee has come up with Arvada Adventures! In the last survey I sent out, one of the things we hear loud and clear was that some of you just didn't want to attend a business after hours from 5-7pm because you've been selling your business all day long and the last thing you want to do at quittin' time was sell your business some more. We've got an a couple of answers for that! Our business after hours aren't like work! You've got to stop by one coming up and check it out. It's social hour... it's happy hour... it's fun.
Still not sold on that. That's okay. We've come up with Arvada Adventures to get our members together and explore Arvada. Let's get out and have some fun after work! Our first Arvada Adventure will be May 25th at Streets Fitness, 12520 W 64th Avenue (south west corner of 64th & Ward Road) from 5:00 - 6:00pm where we will put on our workout gear and take a boxing class. This will be a beginner boxing class so don't get nervous! We'll be punching bags, not people! You don't need to bring gloves, they have them there for you to use.
Our next Arvada Adventure will be a night out at the Arvada Colts home opener on June 3rd at 7:30pm. Bring your lawn chair, bleacher seating is limited. These baseball games are free and are fun for the whole family! So bring the whole family with you! The Arvada Colts is our semi-professional baseball team. They will be playing home games out at Long Lake Ranch (on 64th Avenue out by Highway 93) on Friday nights and Sundays beginning June 3rd through the end of July. To see a schedule of dates and game times go to www.ArvadaColts.com.
