Home Care In Chelsea, AL

Home Care Chelsea, AL

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 Chelsea Historic District and District Extension Marker 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 Chelsea, AL 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.

“My family has been so fortunate to have Eloise Shaw caring for our mom for these last 3 years. She is exceptional in every way: is truly caring, has a top-notch professional work ethic, has an uncanny ability to use humor to defuse difficult situations (our mom can be pretty grumpy at times), has a wonderful disposition, and is always open to suggestions. Mom was not happy about having a caregiver or a stranger in her home, but Eloise wiggled her way into Mom’s heart. Always Best Care is lucky to have Eloise, and so are we! Thank you!”

Before I begin with a new client, they share details of the care plan (even about the animals & family members). On occasion, while on duty I have been visited by the office staff to check in on things. I see them love on the client just like I do! It’s not a question of why Always Best Care. My question would be why NOT Always Best Care? I’m ecstatic about Always Best Care and I tell all my friends. I’m trying to bring them all aboard!”

I work nightshift, and they have been pretty accommodating with contacting me during the hours I am usually able to talk or getting back with me whenever I leave a message. My grandmother is almost 95; she is stubborn, set in her ways, and has dementia. Sometimes it's hard to get her moving, out of bed, or to do anything. The caregiver is very patient with her. Overall, she likes having a different companion than the family member that was staying there. Having someone different in the house has been a lot better.”

Carolyn was very well trained to care for her and really helped her with her icing after care products. My patient was pleased that she had her, so she did not have to do everything herself being drowsy after anesthesia. We will call on you again to provide this level of care for future patients. Thanks again!”

“Hi and thanks for being so gracious and professional constantly. We wish you total success in the coming years as you have such terrific leadership qualities and have accomplished so much.

In New York, they are having a difficult time getting qualified carers who will stay the course of a patient’s needs. We are so easily beguiled by ones who start out with promise then suddenly turn and leave.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Chelsea, AL?

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 Chelsea, AL
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 Station 31 Kitchen or visit Chelsea Clocktower, 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 Chelsea, AL, 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 Chelsea, AL

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 AL'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 Chelsea, AL

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 Chelsea, AL 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 Chelsea, AL

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 Chelsea, AL

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:

  • City of Chelsea Senior Center
  • Best Assisted Living Pelham
  • Chelsea Retirement Community
  • Silver Maples of Chelsea
  • Brio Living Services
  • Meadow View Assisted Living
Home Care Chelsea, AL

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.

CHELSEA – The offense for the Chelsea High School football team caught fire on a cool, rainy Friday night. The Hornets scored 31 points in the first half as they beat Calera 38-24 at home, fueled by Emerson Russell’s four touchdowns.

The win snaps a seven-game losing streak for Chelsea dating back to last season and evens its current record at 1-1.

“I felt like our kids were excited to play on our home field,” said Hornets head coach Todd Cassity, who notched his first Chelsea home win. “I was proud of the way they came out and played hard.”

Russell finished the game with 22 touches and 285 total yards with the scores coming from 20, 60, 7 and 37 yards.

“I focused on running straight and eliminating extra cuts,” said Russell on how he’s improved his game from last year. “We need to continue to improve off of this.”

The first play from scrimmage set the pace for Chelsea. Carter Dotson hit Raymond Bridgeman on a deep post for 50 yards. The Hornets went for it four plays later facing a fourth-and-2 situation, giving the ball to Russell who ran up the left hash, juked right and left a defender on the ground as he scampered into the end zone.

Russell got the first and lone touch on the next Chelsea drive. The senior back ran off tackle left, reached the sideline and outraced everybody to the end zone for a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game.

A Luke Miller 36-yard field goal capped a 10-play drive as the Hornets led 17-0.

Russell scored on the first play of the second quarter, slicing through the Eagles’ defense for a 7-yard touchdown. Chelsea opened with 24 unanswered points, scoring on each of its first four drives.

Calera found the next TD as Antorious Johnson connected with Elijah Bates. The junior quarterback rolled right and found an open Bates near the sideline of the end zone, as he tip-toed to stay in bounds.

The Hornets and Russell responded the next drive with a third-and-2, 37-yard touchdown run to push it to the halftime score of 31-6.

The Eagles were the only side to score in the third quarter as Chelsea suffered two turnovers — one of them a 65-yard interception return TD by Mac Graham — and a turnover on downs, but held a 31-12 entering the final frame.

The Chelsea offense returned to form on the first drive of the fourth quarter, engineering a quick, five-play scoring drive. Dotson found his main target Jaxon Shuttlesworth on a go route for a 24-yard strike.

Calera would add two more touchdowns on passes from Johnson to Bates and Ka’Darrius Young to bring it to the final score of 38-24.

Dotson finished 19-for-29 for 211 passing yards with one score and no turnovers.

“We try to keep building off of it and he’s a great player,” Cassity said of Dotson.

Shuttlesworth led all players with 9 catches for 102 yards and the score.

Chelsea outgained Calera 532-230, with a stark 321-17 advantage in the run game.

Chelsea opens Class 7A, Region 3 play next week at Tuscaloosa County. Calera (0-2) hosts Benjamin Russell for its 6A, Region 3 opener.

Al Hilal and Chelsea hope to beat Real Madrid to Kylian Mbappé signing: how much are they willing to pay?

A new episode of Kylian Mbappé soap opera has begun, with no one quite sure what the script will serve up after a series of twists and turns.

A new episode of Kylian Mbappé soap opera has begun, with no one quite sure what the script will serve up after a series of twists and turns. Paris Saint-Germain have taken a significant stride towards attempting to sell the player, leaving him out of their pre-season tour of Japan and giving him until 31 July to make a final decision - if it’s not already made - about his future at the club.

Unless the France captain performs a drastic U-turn, he will officially be on the transfer list on 1 August, as he has until the previous day to decide whether to extend his current contract by a year until 2025. That same day, he is also due to receive half of an €80 million ($89 million) loyalty bonus from PSG. But until then, he has been left behind as the Ligue 1 champions head to Asia. Not that it is likely to persuade him to stay.

Several clubs have already shown their interest in Mbappé, in addition to Real Madrid, whose long-standing desire to sign him is well-known. According to French broadcaster RMC Sport, Chelsea are looking at different ways to fund a move, although they haven’t yet made a formal offer to PSG. L’Équipe, however, claim that it is impossible to imagine the forward going anywhere other than Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, to whom money is no obstacle, are also being credited with an interest. The Riyadh-based team are willing to pay Mbappé an eye-watering €400 million (around $445 million) over two seasons, as well as a €200 million transfer fee $225.5 million) to sign him. RMC Sport believe PSG could well be prepared to accept it if the attacker refuses to extend his contract before 31 July.

In any event, it is Mbappé himself who holds all the cards. Even if the club does reach an agreement with another club, the 24-year-old, who has stated his intention to see out the final year of his deal in Paris, will have the final say. However, reports in France have suggested that he would be more tempted by a more to Real Madrid than Saudi Arabia.

The Mbappé-PSG soap opera continues but could come to an end one way or another on 31 July.

CHELSEA – The game opened with the makings of an offensive slugfest, but it was the Chelsea High School football team’s defense and special teams that made the last statement.

The Hornets (2-2, 1-1 in Class 7A, Region 3) closed the first half with a blocked field goal that they returned for a 65-yard touchdown and ended their 21-13 victory over Oak Mountain with an interception to close out the game.

“We spent a lot of time on special teams this week,” said Chelsea head coach Todd Cassity. “On defense, we went a little softer in coverage after the start to not let them run by us. I am proud of our kids for not quitting and working hard all the time.”

Each team opened with quick scores on their opening drives. Chelsea marched down the field with Carter Dotson passing for 60 yards, while Emerson Russell finished the two-minute drive with a 5-yard touchdown run.

Oak Mountain followed with an eight-play drive and scored in under four minutes. Jacob Porco punched it in from the 2-yard line to even up the score at 7-7.

The scoring stymied from that point. Both teams would cross midfield on a pair of drives, but neither could advance into the red zone.

The last scoring opportunity came at the close of the half as Oak Mountain (1-3, 0-2 in region) lined up for a 40-yard field goal. Anderson Brooks broke through the line for Chelsea to block the attempt, and Kenny Wesley caught the ball off the bounce and then raced to the end zone. The momentous play gave the Hornets a 14-7 lead at halftime.

The Eagles scored on their opening possession of the second half to close the gap to 14-13. A long drive was nearly derailed by a personal foul that forced a third-and-19. But Will O’Dell floated a pass downfield for freshman Jayden Aparicio for a 41-yard score. The extra point was missed with 5:10 left in the third quarter.

The two sides struggled on offense over the next 10 minutes of game time. Chelsea saw a 50-yard fake punt touchdown pass called back due to an ineligible receiver downfield, while Oak Mountain could only muster 10 yards on two more drives.

The Hornets took over to start the final frame and were immediately aided by a facemask. Russell would carry the ball four straight times to close out the drive, the last running off tackle to the left with such effective blocking in front of him, that he jogged the last 10 yards of his 15-yard score to extend the Chelsea lead to 21-13.

Oak Mountain had a pair of opportunities that were quickly thwarted. The Eagles were 2-for-11 passing following the touchdown pass, with the final pass intercepted by senior Brandon Sims to ice the game.

Russell finished with 152 total yards on 28 touches and the pair of scores.

Dotson completed his first seven passes of the game en route to a 12-of-21 day for 113 passing yards.

O’Dell finished 12-of-28 with a game-high 157 yards passing while adding a team-high 54 rushing yards.

“Offensively, we started off great but I need to watch the film to see what went wrong,” said Oak Mountain head coach Shane McComb. “Getting penalties on first down did not help.”

This was the 12th meeting between the two programs, with Oak Mountain holding a 9-3 advantage now that Chelsea has won the last two contests.

Each team faces stern tests next week. Chelsea travels to four-time defending state champion Thompson, while Oak Mountain welcomes Tuscaloosa County to town.

Chelsea confirm N’Golo Kanté will join Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad

N’Golo Kanté will join the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad when his Chelsea contract expires at the end of June.

N’Golo Kanté will join the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad when his Chelsea contract expires at the end of June. The midfielder joined Chelsea from Leicester in 2016 and went on to win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge.

“N’Golo’s impact and influence during his time at Chelsea cannot be overstated,” said the club’s co-sporting directors, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley. “His tireless performances in midfield contributed to several trophy wins and has guaranteed him a place in the club’s history. We wish him well as he embarks on the next chapter in his career.”

Kanté’s final season at the club was blighted by injury. The 32-year-old required hamstring surgery in October and was unavailable until March, making only seven Premier League appearances in the campaign.

He becomes the first major departure since Mauricio Pochettino was confirmed as Chelsea’s new manager, with a reduction in size of a bloated first-team squad among the Argentinian’s priorities.

Kanté, who won the World Cup with France in Russia in 2018, becomes the latest in a succession of high-profile names to move to the Saudi Professional League. His international teammate Karim Benzema has agreed to join Al-Ittihad after 14 seasons at Real Madrid, following Cristiano Ronaldo who moved to Al-Nassr from Manchester United in December.

The Wolves captain, Rúben Neves, has reportedly agreed a £47m move to Al-Hilal, with an announcement expected from the club this week. At 26, he will be the youngest big name to leave a European club for Saudi Arabia.

Chelsea’s Kalidou Koulibaly, Édouard Mendy, Romelu Lukaku and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have also been linked with moves to the Gulf state.

N’Golo Kante won pretty much everything in European soccer. Now he’s trying his luck in the lucrative Saudi league, where he’ll have another France superstar for company.

Kante completed his widely expected move to Saudi champion Al-Ittihad on a three-year deal Wednesday after six years at Chelsea, with his new club opening its doors to the 32-year-old midfielder with a series of tweets containing the hashtag "WelcomeBox2Box" — referring to his hard-running style of play.

One of Kante’s biggest fans is already at Al-Ittihad — Karim Benzema, the reigning world player of the year and a former teammate with France’s national team. He moved there this month.

"One time I told you you are the best player box-to-box in the world," said Benzema, in a video he sent apparently while sitting in a private plane. "Now I’m happy to play with you again. And of course, at the best team in Saudi. See you in Jeddah."

Kante — all smiles, as ever — sent a reply.

"Thank you Karim — nice to see you again," he said. "Thank you for your words. I am very pleased to play with you, with the best player in the world. And I’m very excited to play with the Tigers."

Kante will reportedly earn more than $100 million across the length of the deal at a team coached by former Tottenham and Wolverhampton manager Nuno Espirito Santo. It recently won the Saudi league ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.

Kante, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021 and has been one of the best players in the Premier League in recent years as a back-to-back champion with Leicester (2016) and Chelsea (2017), has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons.

That hasn’t put off Al-Ittihad from apparently spending big on Kante, a few weeks after bringing in Benzema following the expiry of his contract at Real Madrid.

"It is part of the club’s efforts to establish itself as a top choice for world-class players in the Saudi Professional League," Al-Ittihad said.

The big names — albeit players nearing the end of their careers — are being enticed to the Saudi league, where spending is being fueled by a move by the kingdom’s sovereign wealth Public Investment Fund to take a majority ownership stake in four of the country’s top clubs, including Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr. The move is part of a nationalization project that encourages public sector organizations to invest in sports, with soccer teams a priority under the initiative backed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Another of those four teams, Al-Hilal, tried to buy Lionel Messi but Argentina’s World Cup winner decided to join Inter Miami in the United States.

A slew of leading players are being linked with moves to Saudi Arabia in this European offseason, including Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Wolverhampton midfielder Ruben Neves.

Another was Tottenham winger Son Heung-min, who was reportedly a target of Al-Ittihad but is not ready to move to Saudi Arabia.

"Money is not the most important thing to me right now," Son told reporters on Tuesday after South Korea drew 1-1 with El Salvador in an international friendly in Daejeon.

"I am not ready to go to that league," he said when asked about reports of a lucrative attempt to lure him. "I really like the Premier League and have more things to do in the league. So I will return and get prepared."
