Home Care In Terryville, CT

Home Care Terryville, CT

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 Plymouth 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 Terryville, 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”

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. Thanks again

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 Terryville, 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 Chute Gates Steakhouse or visit Federal Hill Historic District, 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.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

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 Terryville, 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 Terryville, 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 Terryville, 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 Terryville, 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 Terryville, 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 Terryville, 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.

TERRYVILLE, Conn. (WFSB) - This time of year, can be rough for animal shelters and rescues.

Not as many people are adopting, which means the money to take care of the animals dries up fast.

That is exactly what is happening to one animal rescue in Terryville as medical bills have piled up.

“Last little dog came in with a broken leg, 4 months old, took it to have its leg checked out, and needed to be amputated. That’s 4-5 thousand dollars,” said Holly Goodwin, VP, Animal Rescue Foundation. “Those are the expenses that we don’t expect and just show up at your door on a Saturday and we can’t turn them down.”

Animal Rescue Foundation says they have 13 dogs and over 25 cats, but it can be hard to keep up with their care.

Since Covid, donations have gone down but the number of animals in their care has gone up.

“November is pretty dry for us, and adoption fees aren’t coming in to cover our bills,” said Holly.

Maureen Oullette is the treasurer, so she knows the money that goes out is extensive compared to what they have trickling in.

She says donations are down 10% of what is already a low year.

“Our expenses have gone up, not just for vet care but for animal food because of the supply chain and everything else. All our expenses have gone up, just as everybody’s at home has gone up, and our food expenses have gone up by 20% and we have to absorb that somehow,” said Maureen.

Times are so tough right now, there is only one bag of food left for all 13 dogs.

They say they are not able to send the pets to other rescues.

“The rescues are just so full; we get calls every day from people looking to spread out their dogs. The pounds are full, they’re calling us to see if we can pull from them. There’s just no space,” said Holly.

Facebook friends are trying to help, and the rescue says they do their own fundraisers.

But if these dogs are to be guaranteed a forever home, they will need your help and donations.

Animal Rescue Foundation is a no-kill rescue.

We’ve reached the midway point of the 2023 Connecticut high girls soccer season.

Watch More

We have a handle on the top conferences, teams and players thus far. There are even some surprise teams we have missed.

Before the 2023 season started, we at GameTimeCT provided 25 players to watch. There were several more girls soccer players we looked at and, quite frankly, several players we missed. It’s not an exact science attempting to come up with these lists, but it certainly is a challenge.

Here are five players we did miss for the preseason players to watch list who have been quite impressive during the first half of the season.

Taylor Freimuth

Stats: Terryville is a Berkshire League championship contender this season thanks in large part to Freimuth, a scoring machine. She has 22 goals and six assists through nine games for Terryville. Her two goals against Nonnewaug-Woodbury tied the Oct. 3 game on two separate occasions. The 3-2 win was Terryville’s first over Nonnewaug since 2008. Freimuth, who also plays basketball and softball, had 20 goals and four assists during her freshman season, earning all-league honors.

Tea Gambardella

Stats: Guilford was one of our surprise teams. After two subpar seasons, the Grizzlies are now near the top of both the SCC and Class L state standings, putting them in line for tournament home games if that fine play continues. Gambardella has been one of the big reasons why. The junior has 13 goals and five assists for the Grizzlies, who have won nine of their last 10 games. Gambardella is also a captain for Guilford.

Ava Machowski

Stats: It's not easy making headway in the state’s largest conference, but RHAM has, with among the league’s best records at 7-1. That’s due in large part to the play of Machowski, who has 18 goals and four assists through the first eight games. A deeper dive into those numbers show Machowski, one of five captains for the Sachems, has four hat tricks in her last five games. That includes four goals against Platt-Meriden. Her younger brother, Todd, is a goalkeeper on the boys’ team.

Addison VonLoeser

Stats: Speaking of making headway in a great conference, try doing that in the state’s best league. You know who some of the great players are from the FCIAC. So try stopping those players from scoring, especially when scoring is at a premium (13 goals in 12 games) for Wilton. VonLoeser has allowed eight goals thus far. Three of those came Monday against top-ranked St. Joseph, including one on a penalty kick. VonLoeser has posted six shutouts, including three scoreless ties and 1-0 against Staples, the two-time reigning Class LL state champions. Staples earned a co-LL title in 2021 with Wilton behind the strong play of goalkeeper Erynn Floyd, now playing at Louisville.

Adyson Wiseman

Stats: The Lancers are arguably the best team in the ECC, dropping just one conference game and one of our surprise teams at the season’s midway point. If Waterford is to be the ECC Division I champion, or a state title contender in a very balanced, and tough, Class M division, this sophomore will be a big factor. After scoring five goals during her freshman season, Wiseman has scored nine goals this season. She is a part of a balanced scoring effort, along with juniors Paige Jessuck and Camryn Dickinson, making the Lancers a tough team to beat come November.

THOMASTON – Rivalries between neighboring towns are often a rich part of the high school sports experience. Every meeting takes on the mantle of a championship game for each town.

Nevertheless, last Friday’s Class S quarterfinal girls soccer game between Thomaston and Terryville spotlighted the possibility of lifting a longstanding feud to a whole new level of inspiration.

Call it mutual admiration.

“It’s not like it was when I was young,” said one long-time observer/participant in the rivalry. “These kids play on co-op teams together.”

That’s especially true in girls soccer.

Ultra-successful Thomaston head coach Jenn Ewart’s first tour ended in her second year in 2007 when the team shut down after the seven-year-old program could field just seven players. Terryville wasn’t far ahead with its own unsuccessful record.

Survival for the sport led to the unthinkable: a co-op team between the two towns.

It lasted a few years until each town produced enough players to separate again. Terryville went all the way to the Class S semifinals in 2016. Thomaston stayed moribund until Coach Ewart felt ready for her second tour in 2019.

The Golden Bears have climbed the tournament ladder one step at a time since then, reaching last year’s pinnacle of a semifinal appearance and this year’s quarterfinal matchup with Terryville.

In their fourth meeting of the season Friday, the play looked even except on the scoreboard: Thomaston 3, Terryville 0.

Praise came from both directions.

“We thought our advantage was speed,” said Terryville head coach Brian Rosano, whose Kangaroos finished fourth in the Berkshire League and ranked ninth in Class S (12-6-1). “They matched us all over the field, top to bottom.”

Terryville placed one player on the BL all-star team, sophomore midfielder Taylor Freimuth. Thomaston had four: seniors Claire Saunders (midfielder) and Amber Quick (defender) and juniors Sofia Coer (midfielder) and Liliana VanOrmer (defender).

All four of the Thomaston all-stars think the rivalry still exists – in a good way.

“They’re the hardest team for us to play; it’s always fun,” said Coer.

“Terryville is such a strong team,” said Saunders.

“You never know what to expect,” defines Quick.

“They always bring something new to the table,” adds VanOrmer.

The Thomaston players are just as effusive about their own teammates.

“They love the sport and they love each other,” said Coach Ewart after the Golden Bears’ first BL girls soccer title this year led to a Class S No. 1 ranking (16-0-2). “I think that’s what’s driving our success.”

After Friday’s quarterfinal win, the Thomaston all-stars lined up to shower each other with praise.

The defenders can’t say enough about their offensive midfielders: “She takes any pass and makes something out of it,” says Quick about Coer, this year’s scoring leader with 25 goals.

“She’s unpredictable,” says VanOrmer.

Saunders is Thomaston’s all-time leading scorer (84 goals) despite missing most of last year with a torn ACL.

“She moves before we get her the ball.” Ewart said. “She can shield the ball against anyone and take on a whole team if she has to.”

The midfielders are just as excited about their defenders: “She has such a great soccer IQ; she anticipates the ball two passes before she gets to it,” Saunders says of Quick.

“She’s the fastest player on our team; she comes out of nowhere to make a stop,” says Coer about VanOrmer.

Thomaston was set to play No. 5 Lyman Memorial (15-3-1 from the Eastern Connecticut Conference) in its second straight semifinal appearance Tuesday.

The Bulldogs, runners up in last year's Class S finals, beat Terryville in the second round.

Chances are, the Kangaroos lined the sidelines at Glastonbury High School, cheering their hearts out for their now-friendly rivals, the Golden Bears.

Sekorski said his department, as well as the Thomaston Fire Department, responded. He said the fire was extensive and the building is uninhabitable.

"The fire burned half of the second floor, part of the first and it got into the attic," he said. "The power is cut to the building and everything, so the fire marshal and the building inspector will figure out what's going on."

Sekorski said no injuries were reported, adding only one of the units was occupied. The two people living there were displaced. He said the fire department remained on the scene for more than three hours.

"The old, two-family houses that have been remodeled, the studs start in the cellar and they go right up to the attic," he said. "Fire just travels right up in the voids. Those old houses have a lot of nooks and crannies. The fire gets in there and you have to pick it apart, drop walls, remove siding and everything. It took us a while to get it out, but I'm sure they'll rebuild it."
