It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
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 Waterbury Green 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 Waterbury, CT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

She is dedicated, diligent, and is devoted to her job assignment. She not only takes care of my Mom, but she goes above and beyond her call of duty. Bessie has a unique ability to connect with every person she meets. No day goes by that my Mom is not pampered. Bessie make sure she's always comfortable. She makes exceptional meals for her 3 times a day, cleans her clothes, gives her showers, washes her hair and makes her look amazing every single day. Bessie is so beneficial to our family we can't imagine our family without her. I myself and my family members could never do what she does for our Mom. She has been with my mom and our family for almost 1 year and we don't know what we would do without her, she truly is a gift from God. She not only takes care of my Mom daily, nightly and weekly, she also takes care of her personal life and whatever life throws at her. She is a devoted caretaker and should be recognized with the utmost respect. Her dedication to improving the health and well-being of my Mom is commendable. You can't find anyone as special as she. Her life commitment has touched our lives through her delivery of exceptional care in a compassionate, respectful, and safe manner on a daily basis. She has become a member of our family and she has shown us the meaning of adaptability. Her strong faith in God, Forgiveness, and Believing in each other makes her the great person that she is.

“Dear Rick, Over the past three plus years, my father Joseph Ceuch has lived at home assisted by the caregivers from your company Always Best Care of Greater Bristol. This letter is a personal thank you from my father and the entire Ceuch family on how your caregivers treated and attended to my father during this time. The caregivers became part of our extended family who shared in countless family events resulting in beautiful lasting memories. Caregivers Frances Boateng, Jeremy Turner, and Yanice Hernandez were awesome in their care of my father. I want to especially acknowledge Francis as a person who went above and beyond his responsibility and became part of the Ceuch inner circle. It was not uncommon for Francis on his off days to stop by during a family picnic to say hello...he is truly loved by my father. Again, I want to thank you for the loving care your caregivers provided my father. I would highly recommend your company to anyone interested in having a caregiver attend to a loved one. Thanks again”
“Heather, I just wanted to thank Always Best Care in helping to provide care for my step father, Daryl. It's unbelievable how the progression of his illness happened so quickly, however, Always Best Care was always ready to provide the level of care he needed as it increased. Most importantly, I'd like to thank his aide, Sue Malasics. She was wonderful to Daryl and took great care of his needs. I knew I did not have to worry with Sue there with him. She was always cooking wonderful homemade meals and desserts and I was happy to see how happy she made Daryl. I think she is a wonderful asset to Always Best Care. Should I know of anyone needing help in the future, I would recommend Always Best Care and Sue Malasics.”
“I had a very good experience ! I really appreciate the service that your company, Always Best Care, offered our family and especially the caring, loving attitude that Amber and Natalie displayed to Carol at all times.

“My mother was bedbound for months and had serious health related issues including kidney failure. My mother was also very demanding about her care and who she would allow into her home. After several attempts with various in-home care agencies my mother really responded well to Always Best Care Senior Services of Greater Bristol and we cant thank them enough for the high level of compassionate care they were able to provide during my moms final months.”
“I am a past client of this provider My journey with Always Best Care began with a visit from the owner and office manager. Soon after, I was introduced to the caregiver who would provide care for me. All 3 persons seemed very knowledgeable, experienced anf caring. I was certainly provided with quality service and much respect and compassion.”
“I am a retired registered nurse, and for several years, I have been the primary caregiver for my husbamd/ My husband suffers from dementia and is aphasic. On a Saturday morning in October of 2015, a sudden change in my health required an emergent hospitilization, which late resulted in an extensive rehabilitation stay. Upon my hospitalization, my son reached out to Always Best Care Senior Services of greater Bristol. The Always Best Care team assessed my husband, his needs, and had his care staffed within hours of my son's call. The care provided to my husband has been exceptional. The caregivers as well as the office staff have been attentive to our needs and have met all of our expectations. I would highly recommend Always Best Care to you and anyone who is in need of care for their loved one.”
“Our sister, Barbara has early-onset dementia , and was in sudden need of a personal care assistant until placement in a quality skilled nursing facility became available. We reached out to home health care agencies in her local area but, by this point, had already worked with several agencies for med reminders for Barbara (and 24/7 care for our Mom in another area of CT) and were a bit skeptical that that we’d find one that could provide consistent quality of care.When I spoke with Rick Downey of Always Best Care Senior Services in Bristol, he conveyed both confidence in his knowledge of health care and empathy in understanding the frustrations that families experience when seeking quality care for their loved ones. We were next contacted by their care coordinator,Heather Kozikowski, who came to our sister’s home to conduct an assessment and further explain the services offered by Always Best Care.A further testament to the exceptional quality of Always Best Care is the service and care we’ve received after Barbara is no longer a client; our thanks to Always Best Care for the excellent care of our sister, and the peace-of-mind it afforded our family knowing that she was in such kind and competent hands!”

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.
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 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.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Fulton Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
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 Diorio Restaurant Bar or visit Mattatuck Museum, 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.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

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.
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 Waterbury, CT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
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:
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 Waterbury, CT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
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.
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:
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:
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.
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
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
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 Waterbury, CT 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. 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.

With $18 million in payroll due next week, bankrupt hospital operator Prospect Medical Holdings asked a judge on Wednesday to approve $30 million in emergency debt financing as it faces a cash crunch.
Prospect, which owns Waterbury, Manchester Memorial and Rockville General hospitals, said it needed the cash infusion to avoid layoffs and service cuts at its hospitals in California and Connecticut.
“That’s a big sword hanging over our heads,” lead Prospect attorney Thomas Califano said at a hearing in North Texas bankruptcy court on Wednesday afternoon, adding that at least another $55 million would be needed in coming weeks to meet ongoing cash needs through the summer.
Prospect, a for-profit company with private equity backing, filed for bankruptcy in January, citing debts in the $1 billion to $10 billion range.
Prospect wants to sell its hospitals but the process has taken longer than expected, Califano told Judge Stacy Jernigan. Initial deadlines to schedule an auction and approve sales of the Connecticut hospitals by early June have been extended indefinitely, although multiple parties are said to be interested.
Reflecting the slow pace of the bankruptcy process, the city of Waterbury last month wrote off $18.4 million in 2024 and 2025 property taxes owed by Waterbury Hospital, deeming them uncollectible.
“This case has taken longer than expected … it’s been more difficult than expected, frankly,” Califano said. “But everyone understands that we need to obtain more financing.”
Jernigan approved the new loan, described as an “upsize” of an initial $100 million loan package taken out at the start of the bankruptcy case.
“The debtor needs this money in just a few days or it’s not going to be able to make payroll and other important expenses to preserve the value of the estate,” Jernigan said in explaining her decision.
JMB, the lender of the $30 million, has agreed to provide an additional $55 million in funding if Prospect meets auction milestones for its California hospitals by mid-August.
After failing to find buyers, Prospect closed down two safety-net hospitals it owns near Philadelphia in April due to mounting financial losses.
The new $30 million loan the bankruptcy judge approved Wednesday could endanger a deal Prospect struck with its landlord, Medical Properties Trust, and further delay the planned sales of its California and Connecticut hospitals, according to court testimony.
MPT agreed in March to allow the hospitals to be sold as a package with their real estate, which was purchased in a 2019 deal that netted Prospect $1.6 billion in proceeds but saddled its hospitals nationwide with hefty rent payments.
In its objection to the $30 million “upsize,” MPT said that the new JMB loan undermines Prospect’s sales hopes by disrupting the debt repayment process outlined in the earlier agreement.
“The debtors have yet again created their own emergency and put the parties and the court in a position where they need to choose between a fair process and meeting a supposed liquidity need,” MPT said in its objection.
At the hearing, MPT attorney Michael Cassel called the JMB loan “a complete repudiation” of the earlier settlement between the landlord and tenant, which was intended to prevent a lengthy court battle that could further delay the sale of the hospitals.
Califano countered that Prospect needed to maintain the option of borrowing more than $30 million to continue operating and continue the sales process, and that JMB was the company’s best option.
“Let’s get ready for the next step, which is figuring out how we get from mid-August to closing the sales … and getting out of Chapter 11 and wrapping up this case,” Califano said.
Prospect’s cash crunch comes as its Connecticut hospitals as a group continue to generate proceeds, according to court documents.
In an operating report filed on July 3, Prospect reported that $12.5 million was deducted from its Connecticut operations’ receipts under the category of "intercompany activity" in the month of April. Bankruptcy expert Thomas S. Marrion of the University of Connecticut has said that companies in Chapter 11 often move cash from divisions operating in the black to support ailing parts of the business.
For the period between its bankruptcy filing in January through April 30, Prospect reported $33 million in net losses in Connecticut and $245 million in net losses on all of its holdings, according to the report.
The mounting stress on Prospect and its creditors, employees and other stakeholders was highlighted in angry exchanges between lawyers during a court break at Wednesday’s hearing. Califano, who bills Prospect’s estate at a rate of $2,120 an hour, used an expletive to say “don’t touch my" stuff, and then scolded another lawyer for not reading a document before the hearing.
Califano’s firm, Sidley Austin, billed the Prospect estate more than $13 million through April for work on the bankruptcy case.
An exchange of text messages in the chat during the live-streamed hearing also drew a formal rebuke from Judge Jernigan.
“I’ve got a good cash management idea: Execute all lawyers!” a user named “MPW bagholder” posted in the chat early in the nearly four-hour hearing.
“If you were here in person, whoever you are, I would be calling up the U.S. Marshals to deal with that potentially threatening language,” Jernigan said, referring to the text message.
“We know there are hundreds, if not thousands of human beings who are affected by these bankruptcies,” Jernigan added. “I don’t want to cut off anyone from being able to observe these court proceedings, but if you act like a child, we’re going to cut you off.”

WATERBURY, CT — A popular discount clothing store chain is set to relocate its current Waterbury store to a new location in the city next month.
The new location will feature a reimagined store layout, new store logo and other exciting updates, according to the company.
Burlington To Open New Waterbury Store
Burlington, a discount store chain offering name-brand apparel for men, women and children as well as household items, recently announced plans to open a new Waterbury store in August.
The planned opening is a relocation of the company's current store at 475 Union Street to a new nearby location in the Brass Mill Commons at 185 Union Street, according to additional press materials provided by the company.
A Burlington spokesperson confirmed Wednesday to Patch the current store at 475 Union Street is set to close, however the company was thrilled to maintain its footprint in the city of Waterbury.
According to the spokesperson, the new store will employ between 65 and 75 people.
Employees of the company's current Waterbury store have been notified about the relocation and offered positions at the new store, the spokesperson said. Anyone interested in applying can do so at the company's website.
"Residents can continue to look forward to everyday low prices on a wide selection of brand-name merchandise for the entire family and home," the spokesperson said to Patch.
Bold New Upgrades
The new Waterbury location will also feature a reimagined store layout and a new store logo that reads "Deals. Brands. WOW!" as part of Burlington's broader initiative to elevate the in-store shopping experience, according to the company.
All new Burlington stores now open in a refreshed format featuring thoughtfully organized aisles and bold signage, making it easier to navigate the store and get inspiration for the latest must-have trends, according to the company.
While approximately half of the chain's existing locations have already been converted, the remaining stores are expected to transition to the new format by the end of 2026, the company noted.
The new store brings the total number of Burlington stores in Connecticut to 17. Overall, the company currently operates more than 1,115 stores nationwide.
This new Waterbury store plans to "surprise and delight area residents" with items such as fashionable women's apparel and accessories, menswear, comfortable and affordable items for kids, footwear, beauty and fragrance essentials, affordable baby items, home décor and pet care items and toys, according to Burlington.
Popular Businesses On The Move
Burlington is not the only store to relocate to a new location in Connecticut this year.
A popular Hobby Lobby store recently moved to a new location in Manchester about 1.8 miles away from its former address.
Earlier this year, furniture and mattress retailer US Furniture opened a new store space in the Wall Street area of Norwalk after relocating from its previous space in the busy Connecticut Avenue area of the city.
In early February, two small businesses in South Windsor, Galaxy Pops and Beyond and SSUPhoto Designs, celebrated grand openings after relocating from previous locations in nearby Enfield.

Pedestrian accidents, though often preventable, continue to be a significant concern in Connecticut. In many cases, these accidents occur when pedestrians unexpectedly enter the roadway, which can be a particularly dangerous situation for young individuals. In Waterbury, incidents like this one highlight the importance of both pedestrian and driver awareness in areas with heavy foot traffic or unpredictable pedestrian movements.
The number of pedestrian injuries in Connecticut has been steadily rising, and the state has implemented various measures to improve road safety. This includes increased awareness campaigns for both drivers and pedestrians, especially in areas where children and young adults are more likely to be crossing streets or walking along busy roads.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a pedestrian accident, it’s essential to seek medical attention immediately and consult an attorney to ensure your rights are protected. Navigating the aftermath of such an accident can be complex, and legal assistance can help ensure fair treatment in insurance claims and settlements.
