Home Care In Johnstown, CO

Home Care Johnstown, CO

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.

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.

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 Johnstown, CO is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Johnstown, CO?

lm-check

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

lm-check

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

lm-check

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

lm-check

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

Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. 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.

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 Johnstown, CO, 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 Johnstown, CO

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 CO'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 Johnstown, CO

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 Johnstown, CO 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 Johnstown, CO

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 Johnstown, CO

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.

Home Care Johnstown, CO

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.

 In-Home Care Johnstown, CO

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 Always Best Care 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:

A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way

lm-right-arrow

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

lm-right-arrow
02

lm-right-arrow
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.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Johnstown, CO 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation.

The Texas-based travel store and gas station chain opened its first Colorado location on Monday.

Located north of the Denver metro area, at the southwest corner of Interstate 25 and County Road 48 in Johnstown, the new Buc-ee's opened to the public at 6 a.m.

Crowds began gathering Sunday night to be first inside the store Monday morning.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was planned for 11 a.m. Monday with local and state leaders.

The 74,000-square-foot Johnstown travel center has 116 fueling positions and 12 EV charging stations.

Known for its award-winning clean bathrooms. All Buc-ee's operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The store will serve Buc-ee’s favorites including Beaver nuggets, Texas barbeque, fudge, kolaches, jerky and pastries.

Buc-ee's has been at work constructing the Colorado location since a groundbreaking ceremony in June 2022.

“We picked a great partner in the community of Johnstown for our first store in Colorado,” said Stan Beard of Buc-ee’s. “At the foothills of the beautiful northern Front Range, this Buc-ee’s will introduce all sorts of bikers, hikers, skiers and campers to the cleanest restrooms, friendliest staff, and freshest food they’ll ever find on a road trip.”

> Watch below: Crowds enter Colorado's Buc-ee's for the first time:

Buc-ee's is hiring more than 200 workers for the Colorado store.

Positions include cashier, merchandise associate, food service, warehouse stocker, grocery stocker, janitorial, human resources and management. Applications are being accepted online.

The company said starting pay is $18 to $23 per hour and wages are paid weekly.

“This is something that’s going to be an amazing thing for the town of Johnstown and the entire region,” said Johnstown Mayor Gary Lebsack. “We look at this as the gateway to retail for northern Colorado. We’re really excited to have Buc-ee’s in Johnstown. It’s a wonderful day.”

The Colorado Buc-ee's was to become the largest Buc-ee's in the country, but a new center in Luling, Texas, will occupy more than 75,000 square feet, making it the largest Buc-ee's ever built.

“We’re blessed to be in such a wonderful country, and to have the opportunity to build here and serve people,” said Buc-ee’s co-founder Arch “Beaver” Aplin III. “I always knew Colorado would be a wonderful state for Buc-ee’s. The people in this state are our kind of customer: active, traveling, wanting to be outdoors. We made a big leap geographically to get here, and we’re excited about it. We’re not looking back.”

The planned Colorado location signals the first move outside of the South for Buc-ee's. Between Alabama, Florida and Georgia, Buc-ee's has more than 50 locations, with more than 40 in Texas alone.

Since beginning its expansion in 2019, Buc-ee’s has opened travel centers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri.

FOX31 was there when the doors opened, and there were lines of people ready to enter the store before the sun even rose. Droves of fans were dressed in their Buc-ee’s gear, ready for the chance to see the Colorado location first.

“The location is great, we have easy access to [I]-25, we’re in between two major cities, and the travelers are always up and down this highway, and we are looking forward to it,” said Josh Smith, Buc-ee’s director of operations.

Now, you might be wondering: Why would anyone line up for a gas station? Well, Buc-ee’s is known for not being any ordinary gas station.

“We want to offer a clean, family-oriented travel center for you to pull over on the side of the road, top off the tank outside, top off the tank inside and then buy some Christmas gifts and souvenirs along the way,” said Smith.

The massive Johnstown location occupies 74,000 square feet and has 116 fueling positions and 12 EV charging stations.

Aside from its fueling options, Buc-ee’s offers even more inside its convenience store. From a variety of snacks, meals and souvenir items, Buc-ee’s seemingly offers everything.

However, the travel center’s top commodity might not be what you think. Buc-ee’s is known for having the cleanest bathrooms in America.

The Johnstown location has 19 urinals and 17 stalls, and there is even an attendant that will be available 24/7.

“I’m not gonna lie to you, those restrooms are probably cleaner than most people’s homes,” said Smith.

Johnstown Mayor Troy Mellon told FOX31’s Dan Daru the store will build a financial dam that will bring millions of dollars of revenue to his town.

“It is a huge employment opportunity for Johnstown,” Mellon said.

Just 2 miles up the road off I-25 is Johnson’s Corner restaurant and gas station. Will that financial dam choke the waters of profit?

“No,” said kitchen manager Val Johnson — Johnson’s Corner is a truck stop and restaurant, while Buc-ee’s is an experience.

If you want to experience the Buc-ee’s craze yourself, head to Johnstown. After 6 a.m. on Monday, Buc-ee’s will never close its doors again.

Colorado sees packed crowds as first Buc-ee's opens in Johnstown

Buc-ee's is packed on a normal day, so the flood of people that stopped at the first Beaver-branded gas station in Colorado could have been expected. Videos are flooding social media of fans visiting the new super pit stop in Johnstown, and we back in the Lone Star State are loving it.

Frosty Buc-ee's fans in Colorado have been waiting to see what all the fuss is about with the travel center setting up shop north of Denver. On Monday morning, March 18, they found out and took to Facebook to discuss the gas station.

"Chaotic, but fun," said Facebook user Leslie Fetters. "Love the pina colada Icee!"

Guests were taking in the ambiance, grabbing snacks, and picking up their first Buc-ee's brisket sandwiches. But one thing in the video that was obvious was the amount of people visiting the travel center.

A lot of folks on social media were shook to see so many people stuffed into the new gas station.

"That's too many people for me...when I walk in and Buc-ee's [and it] looks like that...I usually just pee and go. I can't deal with crowds anymore," Jennifer Cook said. Eric Lomax added, "Congratulations, expect it will be busy for Colorado's only Buc-ee's there now. It will take some time for crowds to calm down."

For some Buc-ee's fans, they didn't see the crowd as anything different than any normal day at their local Buc-ee's.

"Typical Buc-ee's in Texas on any given day," Daniel Duncan said in the comments. Tami Wilkinson-Sloan explained, "That looks like a normal day at the New Braunfels location!"

Fans also took to TikTok to share their early morning visit to Buc-ee's. People were at the store as soon as 5 a.m.

"This ain't Texas, but today we got a little piece of Texas in our hometown," TikTok user lo_xoxo24 shared in a video. "The first Buc-ee's gas station in Colorado and it did not disappoint."

Another TikTok video showed how many people stuffed into the Buc-ee's on opening day.

TikTok user What? added, "Why? It’s not going anywhere. Never understood the 'importance' in being one of the first. I’d rather go 6 months later once the new wears off and less people."

People were lining up as soon as midnight to be the first folks inside Buc-ee's.

The location in Johnstown will be a big economic boost to Northern Colorado. Buc-ee's, a chain across the nation, picked this location because of the projected growth in the area.

The town manager of Johnstown also told CBS, that Northern Colorado is going to double in population in the next 20 years. It'll be changing the landscape of Johnstown along I-25 and officials say the opening of Buc-ee's comes as the demand for housing and retail booms north of the Denver metro area.
