ATLANTA, Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, the newly opened Always Best Care Atlanta/Buckhead, in partnership with the Atlanta Humane Society will host a free pet adoption event for local seniors from noon to 3 p.m. (EDT) on Oct. 21, at the Howell Mill Campus located at 981 Howell Mill Road NW. The senior care agency plans to cover the qualifying adoption fees for all designated pets adopted by seniors 65 and older during this time.

"With millions of Americans over the age of 65 struggling with depression, studies have shown that pet ownership helps lower stress levels and blood pressure, while also alleviating symptoms of depression," said Doug Smith, the new owner of the Always Best Care Atlanta/Buckhead franchise. "With so many shelter dogs and cats in need of loving homes, as well as local senior citizens in need of companionship, we are proud to partner with the Howell Mill Shelter and share in this special moment with seniors and their loved ones."

As part of their commitment to giving back to the communities they serve, Always Best Care also offers an exclusive program called Always In Touch, a telephone reassurance program that provides a friendly voice each weekday for seniors and disabled adults. In addition, Always Best Care has served as a national sponsor of the Alzheimer's Association and various food and educational drives.

By working with case managers, social workers, discharge planners, doctors, and families, Always Best Care franchise owners provide affordable, comprehensive solutions that can be specifically matched to meet a client's particular physical or social needs. The hallmark services of the Always Best Care include non-medical in-home care and assisted living finder and referral services, with skilled home health care now being phased in throughout the country.
