Home Care In Burlington, MA

Home Care Burlington, MA

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 Revolutionary War Prison Historic Landmark 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 Burlington, MA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“Finding a place that will take care of your family members can be overwhelming, so I was relieved to find Always. They are flexible and personable and focus on what’s most important when caring for your loved one. Beth and Kathy were always there when I needed something. Rishi, my father’s main caregiver, knew exactly how to handle the challenges of caring for a man who was reluctant about having care in the home. I am so thankful for their support!”

“Dave and his staff at Always Best Care truly helped us when my mom was returning home with her hip replacement. Dave came to my mom's home to assess it and gave us recommendations on how to make her home safer. He made me feel so much better about having a caregiver staying with my mom. We also had a discussion on what type of caregiver my mom needed. My mom wanted to meet her caregiver ahead of time and ABC made it happen. It was a great experience, especially knowing my mom was never alone and she had companionship. Thank you for all your help!!”

“We were referred to Always Best Care by the social workers at MT Auburn Hospital. We were worried because we had heard of the senior caregiver shortage. There are no words for how much peace of mind the two amazing caregivers provide our family in caring for our elderly father. They are both completely warm, dependable, professional, kind and caring. I have heard from friends that it doesn't always go like that, so we are most grateful! In six months, both of my dad's caregivers have come to know my father as a person and genuinely care for his wellbeing. The support they provide is immeasurable.”

“It has been about 6 months since Toni and Angel became caregivers for our father Matthew D. We wanted to let you know how incredible they both have been and how important they are to our family. Both Toni and Angel are so dependable, capable, professional and caring. We have heard from friends that it doesn't always go like that, so we know we lucked out not with one but both women. Additionally, we have heard the numerous news reports of the healthcare shortage and are so grateful that your agency could place caregivers with us so quickly when we first contacted you last summer. There are no words for the peace of mind these two amazing women provide for us, and we give daily thanks you matched them with our dad. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you.”

“David was recommended to me by two different social workers as someone to help us find the right assisted living facility for my mom. He walked me and my sister and partner through the process of narrowing down the choices and selecting the best place. He set up some tours for us and accompanied us on others, putting us in contact with the Executive Directors rather than just the marketers. His advice was unfailingly on target. The placed I wanted to see that he didn't recommend were absolutely wrong for my mom, and the one he suggested as the best fit absolutely was the right one. She ended up there for a respite stay and loves it, but has decided she wants to give in-home care a try before committing to the assisted living option. Luckily, David also has an in-home care business that can help us out with that, too! I feel so lucky to have found a trustworthy person to help me navigate the dizzying options for senior care for my mom.”

“Always Best Care is one of the best companies I have ever worked for! Truly, it's been such a breath of fresh air. The way that David, my co-workers, and everyone involved is so dedicated to the well-being of our clients and caregivers is like nothing I have seen. But also the way we are cared for as employees...everyone genuinely cares and wants to see the best for their co-workers, and for our clients as well! David sets an amazing example for the team by going above and beyond for our clients and caregivers, making it only natural to follow in his footsteps and do our very best as well. We've got a rock solid team of people who are well equipped in each area they serve our clients in, and it's really cool to see everyone working with such passion and compassion. This business is all about relationships and cultivating them well, and I can truly say I'm proud to be part of a team that does this so well. It's a healthy and well-run company with great communication and flexibility. It's hands down one of the best places I have every worked! I heard a phrase once that "people may not remember what you've done for them, but they will always remember how you made them feel." Always Best Care does both--acts of kind service, and leaving a lasting impression on everyone we get to interact with. I would recommend Always Best Care a thousand times over!!”

“Despite residing in a well-respected retirement community my parents still needed a little assistance in making it a home. The professionals from Always Best Care were like an All-Star team of senior care help, they stepped in and assessed everything from my parents' major concerns down to the subtle little differences that we probably would never have noticed, making what had been a stressful situation immediately more manageable. My family sleeps easier knowing that my parents have settled in, and without the assistance of Always Best Care that was simply not the case. Their experience is only surpassed by their attentiveness and kindness to the needs of the people they are working with.”

“I have worked for Always Best Care Senior Services for 5 years, mostly as an in-home health care provider for elderly and disabled clients. As an employee of ABC, I have also cared for clients on a one- on- one basis who are in Assisted Living Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities. I enjoy my work and my clients. The culture of ABC is that every client is treated as an individual with personal needs and feelings rather than as a case number or diagnosis. ABC’s approach to clients is mirrored in how they treat caregivers. Consideration of the caregiver’s persona is matched with those of the client. The needs of the client are outlined to ensure the caregiver services provided are a comfortable match. I always feel respected, appreciated, and valued in my role and I equally feel the same consideration is provided to my clients. It is a professional, diverse and overall warm working environment. There is an open-door policy for both client and caregiver where open and constant dialogue and feedback is welcome and responded to in real-time. I would recommend working at Always Best Care to anyone in this profession or anyone considering this profession. Annette Vincent”

David Robinson, the owner, came out right away to assess my needs--up to the point of picking me up at the hospital after surgery with the caregiver. I just had my second knee done and there were some complications this time, but the team at Always Best Care was on it, sending two alternating caregivers and taking me to follow up appointments. I can't say enough about their compassion, expertise, and cheerfulness. Highly recommend them!”

“Dear Kathy: I am writing to express my deepest appreciation to everyone at Always Best Care who cared for my mother, Noriko Scheuer, during her final months. She had been diagnosed with lung cancer in late 2018, started on hospice care in mid-June 2019, and began with your caregivers in late August. She dies on November 21 at the age of 95-1/2, peacefully and pain-free thanks to the excellent care she received. The team who provided round-the-clock services combined a high level of professionalism with caring personal connection. Marie Jean, Sophie Kayinza, Catherine Nakyobe, Claire Nalwoga, Joan Nampijja, Husa Wright, Nadine Wumba, and for a while Resty Namaalwa were all kind, attentive, and directive with my mother's condition. I also enjoyed speaking with them and learning about their life stories. There women are impressive examples of immigration, dedication and hard work. Sophie is to be commended for her care during my mother's last hours and her kindness to me when I arrived on the scene. A huge thanks to you as well for "being on the casE" in such a responsive and caring manner. I recall that when I first called tou in late August after my mother fell, you were able to visit Boylston Place that same day to make an assessment so that care could being the folliwing day/ And on several other occasions you were very resourceful in responding to last-minute cancellations and changes in care protocols. I believe that under the care of this wonderful team, and their coordination with the Boylston Place and hospice teams, my mother was able to spend her final months comfortably and peacefully, accepting with grace her imminent passing.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Always Best Care, the owner David, the RN Beth and the wonderful home health aides who have been helping my grandparents over the last number of weeks. My grandmother came home from rehab after surviving COVID and was still very weak and on oxygen. David was phenomenally responsive to my initial email (at 9:00 at night!) and arranged to come to the house on a weekend to meet my parents and get them started. The nurse, Beth, accompanied both home health aides on their first day to make sure they were on-boarded with exactly what we needed. She listened to us, she remembered every thing we told her, and she volunteered to pick up meds for us at the pharmacy. The aides (Susan and Josephine) have been lovely - attentive, thoughtful, gentle, observant, and have helped with everything from bathing to laundry to lunches and dishes to sorting endless piles of paper for filing. I'm so grateful to all of them for easing my mom's transition home and taking the burden off my grandfather (who's 86). We may not need them much longer, but they have been outstanding.”

“I may be over 70 years old, but I still like to go out and about and I consider myself independent. Several years before I retired, I made a conscious decision to stop driving my car and to rely on public transportation, whether by the subway and bus system or by taking cabs. I didn’t plan on changing my life. And then, COVID-19 made its lethal appearance around the world. After a couple months of quarantine everywhere, I realized I no longer felt comfortable using public transportation. “When was the last time ‘they’ wiped down the handholds on this bus?” And “Who sat in this cab before me?” I asked myself. I continued to worry. I even read through my stash of professional business cards, hoping for inspiration. I found a card for David Robinson who, in the past, had provided me with specialized transportation. I gave him a call and he introduced me to his company, Always Best Care. With the assistance of Always Best Care associates, I’ve been able to keep appointments and selectively shop. I have maintained a large degree of independence in this viral climate. All the Best Care companions I’ve met are cheerful, prompt, and pleasant. They are, at the same time, both professional and friendly. I would recommend Always Best Care to anyone needing care, companionship, or accompanied transportation in the greater Boston area.”

“Dear Friend, I'm sharing this reference in hopes that it provides comfort to other families who seek caring, attentive, loving and flexible care for their aging loved ones. My mother/family has been one of your clients for a number of years and I know ABC's values and capabilities extremely well. For families who are navigating the journey of elder care, who are facing uncertainty and who are looking for a trusted, reliable team who will care for clients like family (if not better), there is no better team than the wonderful folks at ABC. We've been working with David, Kathy and the team for several years and they have exceeded our hopes. Sure, they are on time, professional, safe and courteous. Even more, they are thoughtful, kind and caring. True problem solvers, they provide comfort knowing that my mom is in terrific hands. Even more, they anticipate challenges and solve problems before they are needed. I'm sharing this info because I know how daunting and, indeed, paralyzing, searching for an agency can be. From the first call, ABC did it right. They listened rather than sold. They personalized it, so we found the right care for my mother. They did nothing less than treat my mom the way they would want their own mother's to be treated. I've learned a lot during the process and one of the most important things I learned is: trust ABC. Best wishes, Zack”

“When I reached out to Always Best Care as a client with an elder dad to care for, I didn't always exactly know the type or duration of services needed. Someone was always available to talk to and work with me toward an appropriate, balanced solution. They consistently delivered their services with respect and honesty, whether routine or when assisting with challenging situations. Kathy and Beth participated in a collaborative effort with me for the best possible outcome. I enjoyed working with them and their excellent staff of caregivers, and my dad benefitted from the positive dynamic beyond expectations. Thank you to all at ABC.”

“I can't say enough positive things about Always Best Care, the owner David, the RN Beth and the wonderful home health aides who have been helping my parents over the last number of weeks. My mom came home from rehab after surviving COVID and was still very weak and on oxygen. David was phenomenally responsive to my initial email (at 9:00 at night!) and arranged to come to the house on a weekend to meet my parents and get them started. The nurse, Beth, accompanied both home health aides on their first day to make sure they were on-boarded with exactly what we needed. She listened to us, she remembered every thing we told her, and she volunteered to pick up meds for us at the pharmacy. The aides (Susan and Josephine) have been lovely - attentive, thoughtful, gentle, observant, and have helped with everything from bathing to laundry to lunches and dishes to sorting endless piles of paper for filing. I'm so grateful to all of them for easing my mom's transition home and taking the burden off my dad (who's 86). We may not need them much longer, but they were lifesavers.”

From her skilled and patient direct care… to her very perceptive and objective take on many aspects of my mom’s situation, including our family’s complex dynamics… to spot-on referrals for additional support and services… I couldn’t have come through without her. Melanie’s warm, outgoing style informed all her efforts and immediately put everyone at ease, most importantly my mother. She became a strong advocate and backbone for both me and Mom, and a skilled negotiator when it came to dealing with conflicting family influences. Her direct, no-nonsense approach was perfectly balanced by sensitivity and diplomacy. In many respects, I consider Melanie an integral part of the family who shared my goal of providing nothing but optimal care and support for Mom. I highly recommend her and Always Best Care, without hesitation.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Burlington, MA?

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.

Home Care Burlington, MA
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 Cafe Escadrille or visit Burlington Historical Society, 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 Burlington, MA, 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 Burlington, MA

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 MA'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 Burlington, MA

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 Burlington, MA 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 Burlington, MA

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 Burlington, MA

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:

  • Stonebridge at Burlington
  • Sunrise of Burlington MA
  • Atria Longmeadow Place
  • Till
  • Northbridge Co
  • Conventry
Home Care Burlington, MA

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.

BURLINGTON Health-conscious consumers like Stacie Paganis who are looking for 100% organic produce delivered fresh seven days per week have a new place to shop in Massachusetts.

Mom’s Organic Market officially opened its 23rd location in the United States on Feb. 10 at 34 Cambridge St. in Burlington. This is the first location in Massachusetts for the company, which has locations in Washington, D.C., and in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

Paganis, an Arlington resident who is an integrative health coach and is pursuing a master’s degree in clinical nutrition, said she discovered Mom’s Organic Market when she was taking a cooking class in Maryland.

“I am always looking for healthy and organic food when I’m traveling and I like to have snacks on the go,” she said.

She believes organic produce tastes better and has more nutrients.

“It’s really important for me to have something that I know is not going to be harmful to my health or the environment,” said Paganis, who suffers from allergies and other sensitivities.

About the owner and company’s history

Mom's Organic Market founder and CEO Scott Nash said he plans to open three more locations in the next 15 months. He is in the process of signing leases for a second location in Massachusetts in Natick, and two additional locations in Washington, D.C.

Nash founded Mom’s Organic Market as a grocery delivery service in 1987 in his mother’s garage with an initial investment of $100. At the time, he had a partner who had a car, while he had the garage.

Five months later, he bought out his partner for $1,400.

How Mom’s Organic Market is different

Nash prides himself on offering what he considers to be the best organic produce and products with high ingredient standards and unique products that are hard to find elsewhere.

Excellent customer service is another way Nash says his market stands out against the competition. He is very much against self check-out and always wants to ensure his lines move quickly.

“We invest a lot in the front end,” he said, adding that registers are always open so no one is waiting and time isn’t wasted.

Nash said he wants all of his stores to be utilitarian with a calm, almost meditative atmosphere.

“We call it the stress-free oasis,” he said.

Aisles are purposely extra-wide, and customers are offered free coffee and tea as they shop.

“It’s a really nice, calming, pleasant shopping experience," said Paganis. "Everything is set up in a way that is easy for people to navigate. The atmosphere is really stress-free, which is important to me when I’m shopping.”

Paganis said she likes to take her time when she shops, and she looks at products she is choosing.

She likes the selection of snacks, supplements and tea at Mom’s Organic Market. She also likes that it sells a lot of locally farmed products.

“They have a lot of brands that are hard to get elsewhere and I would otherwise have to order online,” said Paganis.

Comparison to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods

Nash said Mom’s Organic Market is like a cross between Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods on size and offerings. Whole Foods is much larger, typically at 50,000 square feet. Mom’s Organic Market is 14,000 square feet. Trader Joe’s is about 10,000 square feet.

On average, Nash said Mom's Organic Market prices are less expensive than Whole Foods.

The produce, product mix and service are the three reasons Nash said people love them so much and keep coming back.

Everyone has their own niche, he said. When comparing Ikea to Crate & Barrel, he said Mom’s Food Market is more like a Crate & Barrel.

“We are an alternative model,” said Nash of his stores. “Even though we are a small footprint, we have a lot of products. People are really going to like our merchandising, offerings, service and atmosphere,” he said.

Paganis said shopping at Mom's Organic Market feels less corporate than Whole Foods.

How Mom’s Organic Market got its name

When Nash started his business as a home delivery and mail order, it was called, “Organic Foods Express.” He then changed the name to My Organic Market when he opened his first retail location. However, he said, the logo was an apple between two M’s which looked like “mom,” and a lot of people were calling the market “Mom’s,” which is why he again changed the name.

Secret to success of Mom’s Organic Market

Nash said his team likes to make people happy. “We are people pleasers. That’s the bottom line,” he said.

He said a business mentor told him: “Dumb companies sit around concocting ways to screw their own customers. Smart ones think of ways to make customers' lives easier."

"We are always looking to people please our customers," said Nash.

About the products

Regional Manager Joe Hurley said if people are conscious about the food they are purchasing and eating, and how the impact of that food is on the world, then Mom’s Organic Market is the place to shop.

The meat and cheese products they sell have high standards for ingredients and treatment of animals.

Hurley said Mom's Organic Market may not have a full butcher shop selection and is more akin to the ethics behind the meat it sells.

It also has a wide variety of gluten-free and vegan products.

Mom's Organic Market also sells non-food items such as greeting cards that have stories behind them, including those made by women who escaped sex trafficking in the Philippines.

The chain trades directly with organic coffee farmers, and makes sure the people who work at the farms are treated fairly.

The seafood it sells is sustainably sourced and is not caught in a way that kills off the populations of species in the ocean or disrupts the eco system. All seafood is line caught or farm raised, said Hurley.

Mom's Organic Market also doesn't sell products that target children with licensed cartoon characters on the package.

Job opportunities

Mom's Organic Market has 1,500 employees company wide; it plans to employ about 50 in Burlington. Those wishing to join the team can apply by visiting https://momsorganicmarket.ttcportals.com/search/jobs/in/burlington.

BURLINGTON - Brush fire season is here, and first responders are warning the Bay State about what we're potentially up against.

The shocking, scorched damage from wind-fueled flames in Attleboro, Burlington, and Weston, is giving a glimpse of the brush fire season ahead.

In Attleboro, 50 cars in a towing yard were burned to a crisp and four sheds went up in flames, as a wind-driven fire swept the area. Luckily, firefighters stopped the inferno from spreading to people's homes.

"That was my main concern that the wind was pushing the fire into these homes," said Pawtucket, RI Fire Chief David Cairrao.

But in Burlington, a woman wasn't as fortunate after flames completely devoured her home on Polk Street.

Firefighters say dry air and wind gusts up to 35 mph pushed a brush fire up against the home. The fire even compromised the gas line, giving more fuel to the fire.

Nearby Francis Lyman Elementary School was forced to delay dismissal as a result of the fire and response.

"It is very scary," said neighbor Ashi Panke. "It took a long time for them to contain it. We were worried because it was right here."

In Weston, strong winds pushed two fires burning six miles apart. One fire started at a home on Winter Street, then spread to nearby brush. Another burned through a dry wooded area.

"I feel terrible for the family I'm glad that their safe and they got out," said neighbor Todd Krueger.

The State Fire Marshal's office says spring is the season for brush fires. What's concerning for them is that more than 40% of Massachusetts homes are in or near wildland and brush areas. So, all it takes is wind, dry air, and spark to have devastating damage.

First responders are warning families about the conditions we're now facing.

"Brush fire season is in the spring," said Weston Fire Department Chief Justin Woodside. "There is all the leftover stuff from the winter before you get green, you get dry conditions, so we do struggle with that."

"We need to prep ourselves for whatever," said Panke. "Who knows how this might happen?"

Firefighters say these fires are really challenging to fight because the wind shifts direction all the time, and they take up a lot of resources.

They're asking people to be careful and heed the Red Flag Warnings when they've been posted.

BURLINGTON, MA — Without community leaders, Burlington wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Kelly Lehman, a Burlington reader who nominated Emma Jones.

What does this community leader do?

Therapeutic Recreation Specialist

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

As a recreation professional in the Northeast, it is very rare to find a community recreation department with a Therapeutic Recreation division. However, when you look into the Burlington (MA) Parks & Recreation Department, you will find a well-established Therapeutic Recreation Division administered by Emma Jones, CTRS. Emma leads the TR division by developing mutual respect with family members, participants and her colleagues. Most especially, Emma strives to build specialized programming that provides meaningful recreation opportunities to members of Burlington and surrounding communities with diverse abilities. She has expanded specialized programming for participants of all ages by increasing program offerings for those under 13 by 93%.

Post pandemic, like most communities, Burlington has seen a rise in their inclusion requests. Once the in-take assessment is complete, Emma works with their instructors and staff to ensure that the participants have the tools to ensure they are successful in their program. She is responsible for the oversight of 25 staff members as well as numerous direct support professionals, meeting with each of them to provide specific goal information for each participant. One parent noted, "Emma knows and understands my child well. She was so supportive in helping set up a successful summer for my son. Without the therapeutic recreation support my son would not have been able to attend camp. The program allowed him access to his peers in the community. I am so thankful!"

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

In addition to her dedicated work in both specialized and inclusive programming, Emma is helping to spread the word about Therapeutic Recreation throughout New England. Most recently, she was recognized by the National Recreation and Park Association as a top 30 under 30 professional. In addition to this esteemed honor, she was named one of New England’s first Inclusive Recreation Specialists by the National Inclusion Project. This past March, she presented at the Massachusetts Parks & Recreation Conference about how to establish a therapeutic recreation division in a community recreation setting. Through these efforts, Emma continues to change the landscape of community recreation in Massachusetts and throughout New England.

Parents, students demand change in Burlington, say homophobia has been pressing issue

The Burlington School Committee met for the first time Tuesday night, since what officials call “an incident of homophobia” happened at Marshall Simonds Middle School.

“Unfortunately, during the pride theme day, there were behaviors that were hurtful to students and the school community. We are now involved in a healing process,” said chairwoman Martha Simon.

In opening remarks, school leaders shared their support for the LGBTQ+ community while pointing to the age of the students involved.

“Ascribing hate to middle school children who are not yet fully developed I think is a mistake,” said Burlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Eric Conti.

In public comment, parents, community members and even former students shared personal stories and questioned student’s safety.

“I’m here to let you that this was not a one-off incident,” said Nate Carey, a former Burlington Public Schools student. “Homophobia has been a pressing issue throughout the BHS school system, in the town of Burlington as a whole, for a while now.”

The meeting comes after an incident on June 2 when some students destroyed rainbow decorations during a pride spirit day event.

Groups also reportedly wore red, white, and blue and chanted that their pronouns were “USA.”

“This effectively turns the American flag, a symbol that is supposed to stand for every American, into a weapon against a marginalized community, a sense of division, rather than unity,” one community member said.

Many called for a diversity, equity and inclusion committee to be reinstated, and for a director to be hired. They also questioned how students were being reprimanded for their actions.

“The question is what are you, the leaders, going to do about it,” said Martha Duffield, Co-Chair of the Burlington Equity Coalition.

NBC10 Boston took those concerns to Superintendent Dr. Conti after the meeting finished, but he refused to answer any questions and walked away from our reporter.

During the meeting, he said he did not want to rush the hiring process for a DEI candidate and that he would give an update on those efforts in September.
