Introducing Always Best Care of Scottsdale, AZ

I would like to introduce you to Always Best Care of Scottsdale. We are a franchise of Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the fastest growing senior care systems in the United States. More specifically, as you consider and plan your editorial, I would like to offer Always Best Care of Scottsdale to you and your organization as an expert resource. The depth of topics our organization can speak to is wide-ranging – from how families can select the best-assisted living communities for they’re loved ones to current home care trends and issues affecting our community. 

When it comes to the critically important issues facing seniors, their families and caregivers, Always Best Care of Scottsdale can provide a concerned, trusted and knowledgeable point of view. I am certain that somewhere along the way we could be of value to you with interviews, opinions, market research, etc., covering a wide range of newsworthy topics on the current and future states of health care, especially as it relates to people of this community.  

As you know, the physical, psychological and financial impact the “aging of America” is already having on our society is staggering.  Scottsdale is no exception. This will only accelerate, further challenging families, their loved ones and the entire caregiving community. Here are just a few facts to consider:

• 10,000 people turn 65 in the United States every day
• The U.S. population 65 or older will double during the next 30 years – by 2040 one in five Americans (81+ million) will be 65 or older
• 80% of seniors have at least one chronic health condition – 50% have at least two

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care, assisted living placement services, and skilled home health care in select locations. Always Best Care of Scottsdale is part of an international network of more than 200 independently owned and operated franchise territories and area representatives throughout the United States. Currently, Always Best Care delivers more than 3 million hours of care annually and is one of the few companies providing services throughout the entire continuum of senior care. Without question, Always Best Care of Scottsdale and its representatives are on the frontlines of today’s most vital senior care issues.

Additionally, here are a few interesting points about our franchise and our parent company:
