Assisted Living Placements
When researching your senior living options in New Mexico, you may encounter several confusing terms. For example, what’s the difference between an assisted living community, a nursing home, an independent living community, and a memory care home?
Always Best Care of Albuquerque can help with our senior living referrals. We can visit you in your Albuquerque-area home and explain all your options. You can tell us about your needs, preferences, and your medical history. We’ll even take you on tours of the facilities that interest you. After you choose your preferred community, we’ll work to get you placed there and settled into your accommodations. Best of all, these services are free for you.
Temporary Care
Many people think of senior care as something you can’t go back from. But just because somebody needs care now doesn’t mean they’ll always need that care. There are situations where people only need care temporarily. You might need temporary care if:
You’re Recovering From Surgery
Recovering from surgery can be a painful and lengthy process. You could injure yourself by trying to do too much after surgery, thus prolonging your recovery time. Always Best Care can provide caregivers to visit you in your home and provide assistance while you recover from surgery.
You’re Recovering From A Hospitalization
You may require hospitalization due a fall, a vehicular collision, or from an illness such as Covid-19. Being released from the hospital is an important step in your recovery, but it’s not the end. Your release may merely mark the beginning of your recovery journey. It can be helpful to have a caregiver visit you to help you take care of yourself until you feel fully recovered.
Your Regular Caregiver Is Busy
Many people care for their own friends and family. These family caregivers do great work, but they can’t provide care 365 days a year. Sometimes you’ll have a vacation planned. You may need to go on a work trip. You might have to take time to prepare for an exam or a presentation. And then there’s the possibility that you’ll have a health situation of your own. Always Best Care can provide a respite caregiver to come in and care for your loved one when you are busy with something else.
