 In-Home Care Kerrville, TX

How does In-home Senior Care in Kerrville, TX work?

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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. When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

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.

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 ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

 Senior Care Kerrville, TX

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.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, 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:

Comfort
Comfort

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, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old. With the help of elderly care in Kerrville, TX, 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.

Healthy Living
Healthy Living

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.

Independence
Independence

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 an assisted living community. 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.

Cost and Convenience
Cost and Convenience

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 to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, can be 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 in Kerrville, TX 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.

Empowers Seniors

Affordable Care Plans

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:

Veteran's Benefits
Veteran's Benefits

Aid and Attendance benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance

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.

Private Insurance
Private Insurance

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.

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

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.


Respite Care Kerrville, TX

During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.

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 Kerrville,TX 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.

 Caregivers Kerrville, TX

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:

An assessment of your senior loved one

01

An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one to remain in their own home

02

Reviewing a detailed Care Plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs

03

Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.

If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Registration is open for the seventh Hill Country Land Stewardship Conference April 13-14 in Kerrville. The event is designed to help landowners and managers address the unique management needs of the Hill Country.

The conference is presented by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Kerr and Gillespie counties. This year’s event returns to the Y.O. Ranch Hotel and Conference Center, 2033 Sidney Baker St., after being canceled due to COVID-19 issues for the past three years.

The Hill Country is a special part of Texas with an attraction to millions of individuals who ranch and come to vacation, hunt, rest and relax each year, said Larry Redmon, Ph.D., professor and associate head for AgriLife Extension in the Texas A&M Department of Soil and Crop Sciences.

“Along with the spectacular beauty of the area that attracts all the visitors, we know the Hill Country presents its own particular needs for management by landowners, and we want to help them be better prepared,” Redmon said.

The Hill Country continues to draw tourists and retirees from some of the state's biggest cities. It is also a relocation destination for new Texans, including those from California.

But Kerrville is not content with attracting only tourists and retirees. It wants to attract new industries and create skilled jobs at home too.

Mayor Judy Eychner has called Kerrville home for more than three decades. Looking from the window of the Dairy Queen at Kerrville's main drag — Sydney Baker Street — it's clear the traffic is not typical of a small Texas town.

"We have traffic, so we have to wait more than one time at a stoplight, and we never had to do that, so we fuss,” she said. Eychner explained that a lot of that traffic comes from rural Kerr County and surrounding counties.

"Kerrville has become a hub," she said. "We've become a medical hub [and] a retail hub. We've also become an arts and crafts culture hub, and so many of our people don't live here. They've come in for the day to do shopping, go to the doctor, go to HEB and [then] they go home at night."

The HEB chain of grocery stores was born in Kerrville, and the HEB Foundation is based there. The arts and crafts culture includes a range of businesses, from small artisans up to James Avery Craftsman, which employs nearly 500. The Clint Orms Engravers and Silversmiths make belt buckles for the Professional Cowboys Rodeo Association and pro golf's Ryder Cup.

Peterson Regional Medical Center is the biggest employer with nearly 1,000 professionals. The Kerrville State Hospital employs another 500 people.

To manage growth and protect the city's small-town charm and outdoor life centered around the Guadalupe River, river trail, and parks, the city council is sticking to the guidelines found in the Kerrville 2050 Comprehensive Plan. The council approved it in 2018 after much input from community stakeholders.

Gilberto Salinas is the executive director of the Kerr Economic Development Corporation. He said they have attracted a dozen new companies in recent years, including several aerospace companies. Mooney International Corporation is headquartered there. He said they landed a branch of North Dakota's Killdeer Mountain Manufacturing, which is a major supplier for Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the Department of Defense.

"They are manufacturers of basically fiber optic cabling, circuit boards. I think from Kerrville they're manufacturing — for the lack of a better phrase — these nervous systems for 40 to 45 jets a month," Salinas said.

Salinas said creating a local pipeline of skilled workers educated and trained at local high schools and colleges for local jobs at those industries is an evolving process, helped along with $2 million in recent state funding.

Salinas said they are also working to expand middle class housing for those workers. The city is known for its wealthy or low-income households, with little in between. Lennar Homes, the largest homebuilder in the U.S., has been busy in Kerrville. Salinas said other builders have followed.

"Within 18 months to 24 months, we should see 3,000 to 4,000 housing units coming online, a combination of single-family homes to multi-family apartment units and/or condos as well, so those we're slowly starting to see them come in,” Salinas said.

He said Kerrville's quality of life is a big draw to companies, especially company CEO's who value outdoor life.

That outdoor life includes many events, like Fourth on the River. It includes fireworks to celebrate Independence Day. It was headlined in past years by favorite son, the singer Robert Earl Keen.

Julie Davis organizes many of those outdoor events as the president and CEO of the Kerrville Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Solar eclipses this October and next April have been added as upcoming major attractions for outsiders. Kerrville, with its often-clear skies, will be a great viewing spot in the U.S.

TPR asked Davis if they're getting phone calls about accommodations for the celestial events.

"We are. Since 2017," she said with a laugh. “We've been getting calls from visitors. We have someone that comes in every year on April 8 to see how the weather is. He's been tracking it. So, [there's a] very serious crowd [interested in] seeing this, and we'll have several events related to that as well."

Eychner said she is proud of the work Salinas and Davis are doing on behalf of the city. She said Kerrville is on a different path than its nearest Hill Country rival — Fredericksburg — where wineries, peaches, and bed and breakfasts reign supreme and is regularly filled with tourists.

"We don't want what Fredericksburg has,” the mayor said. “Fredericksburg people tell you that they don't even want to go downtown. So, we don't want to become that."

Kerrville leaders said the 2050 Kerrville Comprehensive Plan has prepared them to handle the 70,000 residents expected to live in the area by mid century. That's nearly triple of the area's population today.

By Julie Tomascik Editor

Young producers will get a look at agriculture in the Hill Country through the 2023 Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) Young Farmer & Rancher (YF&R) Fall Tour. It’s an opportunity for farmers and ranchers between the ages of 18 and 35 to meet with fellow producers and learn about other agricultural perspectives.

This year’s tour is set for Sept. 8-10 in Kerrville and will focus on wildlife, vineyards, orchards and hay production.

“The Fall Tour is a great opportunity for young farmers, ranchers and ag professionals to relax, network and learn about agriculture in a different part of the state,” Adrienne Synatschk, TFB YF&R Advisory Committee chair, said. “This is a fun and educational event, and we’re excited to host it in the Hill Country this year.”

The impact of commodity and consumer sales, as well as tourism, in the Hill Country plays a crucial role in the state’s economy.

“Visiting this area of Texas will give young agricultural professionals—farmers, ranchers, business owners, teachers or anyone interested in agriculture—a glimpse into what makes the Hill Country unique,” Syntaschk said.

The three-day tour will feature farm and ranch visits, discussions on wildlife and opportunities to network with other participants.

“We need more young people to farm, ranch and work in agricultural businesses and other fields that support the production of food, fiber and fuel,” Synatschk said. “The Fall Tour is a great way to meet other young people and learn from each other to take home new ideas and new strategies that we can implement.”

Registration closes Aug. 3.

There are two registration packages participants may select from that will include lodging, meals, transportation and the cost of all tours. A third registration package is available for those who do not require lodging.

County Farm Bureaus may help cover the cost of attending the Fall Tour in Kerrville.

Interested members can learn more about registration costs and register for the tour online at texasfarmbureau.org/YFR.

KERRVILLE, Texas — A 60-year-old South Texas man is in custody after surrendering to local authorities investigating a donkey which was dragged behind a vehicle before being illegally dumped on the side of a highway.

The discovery was made in late May, along Highway 271 between Center Point and Comfort. Officials at the time said they believed the donkey was dragged for at least two miles down Wilson Creek Road.

WARNING: The following video is disturbing

Authorities now say Dwayne Cori Smith is the man who dumped the animal on May 26. He has been charged with one count of illegal dumping and jailed on a $1,000.

Authorities say they believe the animal was dead before it was dragged along the road.

"We are glad to have contributed to the resolution of this case, working alongside our KCAS (Kerr County Animal Services) colleagues," the Kerr County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "We combat illegal dumping countywide, regardless of what is dumped.”
