They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Hartland Historical Society gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in East Hartland, CT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Dear Rick, Over the past three plus years, my father Joseph Ceuch has lived at home assisted by the caregivers from your company Always Best Care of Greater Bristol. This letter is a personal thank you from my father and the entire Ceuch family on how your caregivers treated and attended to my father during this time. The caregivers became part of our extended family who shared in countless family events resulting in beautiful lasting memories. Caregivers Frances Boateng, Jeremy Turner, and Yanice Hernandez were awesome in their care of my father. I want to especially acknowledge Francis as a person who went above and beyond his responsibility and became part of the Ceuch inner circle. It was not uncommon for Francis on his off days to stop by during a family picnic to say hello...he is truly loved by my father. Again, I want to thank you for the loving care your caregivers provided my father. I would highly recommend your company to anyone interested in having a caregiver attend to a loved one.

“Heather, I just wanted to thank Always Best Care in helping to provide care for my step father, Daryl. It's unbelievable how the progression of his illness happened so quickly, however, Always Best Care was always ready to provide the level of care he needed as it increased. Most importantly, I'd like to thank his aide, Sue Malasics. She was wonderful to Daryl and took great care of his needs. I knew I did not have to worry with Sue there with him. She was always cooking wonderful homemade meals and desserts and I was happy to see how happy she made Daryl. I think she is a wonderful asset to Always Best Care. Should I know of anyone needing help in the future, I would recommend Always Best Care and Sue Malasics.”

“Our sister, Barbara has early-onset dementia , and was in sudden need of a personal care assistant until placement in a quality skilled nursing facility became available. We reached out to home health care agencies in her local area but, by this point, had already worked with several agencies for med reminders for Barbara (and 24/7 care for our Mom in another area of CT) and were a bit skeptical that that we’d find one that could provide consistent quality of care.When I spoke with Rick Downey of Always Best Care Senior Services in Bristol, he conveyed both confidence in his knowledge of health care and empathy in understanding the frustrations that families experience when seeking quality care for their loved ones. We were next contacted by their care coordinator,Heather Kozikowski, who came to our sister’s home to conduct an assessment and further explain the services offered by Always Best Care.A further testament to the exceptional quality of Always Best Care is the service and care we’ve received after Barbara is no longer a client; our thanks to Always Best Care for the excellent care of our sister, and the peace-of-mind it afforded our family knowing that she was in such kind and competent hands!”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in East Hartland, CT?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local The Coach Stop or visit Hartland Hollow Modern Homestead, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

Benefits of Home Care in East Hartland, CT

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in East Hartland, CT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care East Hartland, CT

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your CT's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care East Hartland, CT

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in East Hartland, CT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care East Hartland, CT

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers East Hartland, CT

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • McLean
  • Brookdale Gables Farmington
  • River Ridge at Avon
  • Arden Courts - ProMedica Memory Care Community (Avon)
  • Anthology of Simsbury
  • Arden Courts - ProMedica Memory Care Community (Farmington)
Home Care East Hartland, CT

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

The Connecticut bear population will soon emerge from winter denning. While people love taking photos and videos of bears in their backyard, there have been several bear-related issues and state wildlife officials recommend some precautions as we begin to see more bears.

Bears Sightings in Connecticut

Bears have been spotted in every town in Connecticut at some point, according to the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

In 2022, bear sightings were reported in 158 of the state’s 169 cities and towns. You can see a map of bear sightings online here.

Do Black Bears Hibernate?

DEEP said that black bears are not true hibernators, but their body temperature goes down and their heart rate slows during “winter denning,” which can happen in a variety of places, including under fallen trees, in brush piles or under decks, porches or sheds.

In Connecticut, most bears den from late November through mid-March, but females might remain in a den for longer than males, according to DEEP.

Denning bears do not eat, drink, urinate or defecate and DEEP said bears could wake up if they are disturbed during this time and they can remain active at times in winter, especially if there is a lack of snow cover and mild temperatures.

What Is the Difference Between Denning and Hibernation?

While some animals go into deep hibernation, the body temperature of bears remains higher so they can react quicker to danger, according to the National Park Service. Learn more here.

Conflicts With Bears in Connecticut

The state tracks issues with bears and the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said there have been some bear attacks on people, pets and livestock and they have also gone after beehives.

And, they have also gotten into houses and cars.

While most bear issues involve the animals getting into trash or birdfeeders, DEEP said there are thousands of reports of conflicts with people each year and it also follows a long-term increasing trend.

The state bear population is estimated at 1,000 to 1,200 and DEEP reports the average number of conflicts in Connecticut is 870.

In 2022, there were two bear attacks on humans, according to DEEP.

One of the attacks was in October, when a bear attacked a 10-year-old boy in Morris. The boy went to the hospital and officials said his injuries were not life-threatening. The bear was euthanized.

Bears have entered homes in 22 cities and towns and the number of bears getting into residences reached a record in 2022, according to DEEP.

DEEP said there were 67 reports of bears getting into houses, likely by following the smell of food, and then pushing through screen doors or getting in through windows.

There were also dozens of attempts by bears to get into homes.

The help curb the number of bear incidents, some cities and towns have ordinances that prohibit intentionally feeding bears, and that includes putting bird feeders out during the warmer parts of the year.

DEEP said ordinances have been passed in Barkhamsted, Colebrook, East Granby, Farmington, Granby, Hartland, Manchester, Salisbury and Simsbury.

Living With Bears in Connecticut

DEEP has some recommendations about living among bears.

DEEP puts two tags on a bear when the agency handles them and said a tag doesn't mean a problem bear. The tags help biologists track bear movements. A bear with a collar will also have ear tags.

Ear tag color indicates the year the bear was tagged and each colored tag has a three-digit number code. DEEP said the first two numbers indicate the sequence in which it was caught and the last digit indicates the yeart.

How to Report a Bear Sighting in Connecticut

You can report a bear through the DEEP website. Learn more here.

They say two men are endangering the livelihoods of their families by baiting wild animals and charging tourists to take pictures of them.

HARTLAND, Conn. — From a Beefalo, to the bears. Residents in Hartland say a controversial wildlife scientist is back in town after vowing to leave them alone. They say Dr. Charles Munn and his business partner, Mark Brault, are endangering the livelihoods of their families by baiting wild animals and charging tourists to take pictures of them. The town is holding a public hearing on the issue next Wednesday night.

"This is an experiment at this stage," said Dr. Munn back in 2019.

But since then, those experiments have evolved into a business. Munn was practicing what he called, 'diversionary feeding.' He said his goal was to reduce conflicts between humans and animals. But when Hartland drafted a no bear baiting ordinance last year, Munn said he was packing his bags.

"The volume of protests grew so loud that I didn’t really want to face that anymore," said Munn, who is the CEO of SouthWild and operates similar ventures in South America.

But now Munn is back. Hartland resident Darcey Lovell said he never really left.

"They immediately registered a domain name and have been here operating planning to open their business ever since," said Lovell.

The business is called Nature Havens. We pulled their business record with the office of the Secretary of the State. the location is 217 Hi View Road. FOX61 went there but nobody was home. Nature Haven's website does not have a telephone number or address listed. Nature Haven's has no immediately visible signs indicating a business is operating there, but neighbors had many signs posted expressing their displeasure with animal baiting.

"All of this was done in a lot of secrecy," said Lovell.

Owner Mark Brault did get back to FOX61 with a statement that reads, “It is unfortunate that this issue is being motivated by a few neighbors of Nature Havens, who don’t understand the facts. My property was always intended as “open space” as opposed to other options such as affordable housing. Nature Havens is properly registered with the State of Connecticut and is a safe place for visitors to experience nature, as well as animals in a natural setting. As the owner of these 114-acres, I have also spent the last ten years and tens of thousands of dollars out of my own pocket making much-needed improvements to the property to the benefit of all residents of Hartland and beyond. In the last five years, I have worked under contract with the federal government (USDA) to improve habitat for endangered species including the New England Cottontail Rabbit.”

We also took our cameras to the Old Riverton Inn. Adam Towers is the new owner there. He told FOX61 that one day, Brault's business partner Dr. Munn came knocking at his door. "He approached us regarding a partnership with him. We did get some guests of theirs here and we didn’t know anything about the history of what was going on up in Hartland. He would get a call from one of his field biologists and say okay the bobcat is now out." Towers eventually confronted Munn and cut ties with him. Towers said he learned some lessons. "Do more research in an organization when you think about partnering with them."

Town officials in Hartland declined to go on camera for our story but told FOX61 that three cease and desist orders have been issued to Nature Havens. The Nature Haven's website is charging $125 a night to watch bears and $300 a night for a chance to observe a lynx.

"Wildlife should be kept wild. Habituation then to humans and making them less afraid of us and more comfortable coming to us and seeing us as a good source that’s is dangerous," said Hilary Wilson, another Hartland resident.

EXCLUSIVE: From Beefalo...to bears! Controversial wildlife scientist Charles Munn is back in Hartland and residents don’t like it. Now he’s partnered with a land owner to open an ‘eco-tourism’ business called Nature Havens. Residents say wild animals are being baited. @FOX61News pic.twitter.com/vHQJrBp4QW

— Matt Caron (@MattCaronTV) September 3, 2020

The State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection also sent FOX61 a statement:

DEEP is aware of an apparent wildlife tourism business operating in the town of Hartland, which is believed to involve baiting in order to attract wildlife, such as bears. DEEP does not have direct jurisdiction over this property but fortunately, the local municipality has an ordinance in place that prohibits the feeding of black bears and they have engaged with the entities engaged in this activity.

DEEP supports the adoption of these ordinances as a measure to prevent negative human/wildlife interactions and has actively conducted outreach with municipal leaders to provide technical expertise and information about the development, execution, and effects of these ordinances.

Wildlife should never be fed, intentionally or unintentionally. Doing so on a regular basis makes animals become habituated to people, and associate humans with food. This leads to wild animals losing their fear of humans, and spending more time in places populated by people, increasing the chances of a conflict that could lead to a harmful and potentially deadly outcome for humans, pets, livestock, and the bears themselves."

Dr. Charles Munn himself did also contact FOX61 through email. He said he was too busy to talk because he is fighting wildfires in the Brazilian rainforest. He said the issue in Hartland is a “minor misunderstanding," and said he would be back in touch next week.
