“Nate took the time to meet with me and my family and help make sense of the questions we had when it came to the short and long term care of our loved one. When you have an elderly parent or a loved one with disabilities there are so many questions and so many emotions. It can be so confusing and it was hard for us to find one person or one company that has the knowledge and grasp of this industry that Nate has. We cannot thank him enough for guiding us through this process and his amazing bedside manner!”

 In-Home Care Chapin, SC

How does In-home Senior Care in Chapin, SC 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 Chapin, SC

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 Chapin, SC, 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 Chapin, SC 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 Chapin, SC

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 Chapin,SC 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 Chapin, SC

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.

High winds devastate portions of northwestern Lexington County near Chapin Monday night

Chapin, SC 06/27/2023 (Paul Kirby) – Extremely high winds struck areas out of the Lexington County town of Chapin Monday night causing many people to continue to be without power as crews worked throughout the day Tuesday to try and get multiple communities back online. Homes were damaged by falling trees and many roads were completely blocked by debris as crews continue to work to return the area to some sort of a semblance of normalcy.

Chapin, SC 06/27/2023 (Paul Kirby) – Extremely high winds struck areas out of the Lexington County town of Chapin Monday night causing many people to continue to be without power as crews worked throughout the day Tuesday to try and get multiple communities back online. Homes were damaged by falling trees and many roads were completely blocked by debris as crews continue to work to return the area to some sort of a semblance of normalcy. The first reports of the severe weather began coming in just after 10:30 p.m. in the vicinity of Wessinger Road and Putnam Drive. Wessinger Road is the only road in and out of a peninsula that juts out into Lake Murray and is bounded by Bear Creek on one side and John’s Creek on the other.

Putnam Drive was completely closed by the storm and remains that way late Tuesday. The storm knocked the utility infrastructure down snapping poles into splinters and bringing the power lines down across the road all along its length. Large trees were snapped off and laying across the asphalt as late as 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. A number of homes in the area were damaged by falling trees and the high winds. Crews were still working to clear the road to provide access to the end of that point.

Ben Kirby, a resident of Indian Summer Point off Libby Ariel Circle within a mile of Putnam Drive, said that a cooperative group of utility crews that included Mid-Carolina Electric, Dominion Energy, and the sub-contractor Sumter Utilities, were all in the area replacing power poles and utility infrastructure so that they could begin restringing electric wire sometime in the future. Kirby said his power went out about 10:30 p.m. Monday night and he didn’t expect it to be restored for several days. He had used his chainsaw to clear enough of the road into his home so that he and his neighbors could drive in and out if they needed to. He said that many of his neighbors had whole home generator systems that kept their homes comfortable. Kirby was using smaller generators to keep his refrigerators and freezers running but said he would probably stay with family tonight so that they could have air conditioning until their power was restored.

Emergency radio traffic coming into Lexington County’s 911 Center Monday night indicated that the worst of the storm first ripped down Putnam Drive, then crossed Bear Creek. The storm quickly began to ravage trees, homes, and utility infrastructure out on the Amick’s Ferry Road peninsula. Timber Lake Country Club reported Tuesday that they have as many as 60 to 70 trees around their golf course that were down, and the first 9 holes of the course were extremely dangerous due to storm damage. Many homes in the Timberlake area were also damaged by the high winds as were homes and buildings in the surrounding areas of that community.

The County of Lexington had employees of its Emergency Management Division working Tuesday assessing the storm damage. They also asked anyone who had photos of storm damage from that area to call 803-785-2449. Photos can be sent to the county using the email address [email protected]. All emails should include the home address in the subject line.

Chris Jackson, a noted local and national weather authority based out of the Midlands of SC, said that he felt this damage was not done by a tornado but rather straight-line winds from a microburst. Jackson said that the damages from these types of storms can be identical or even more severe than small or weaker tornadoes. He also said that they don’t get the attention they deserve because they don’t cause the same fear factor that the word tornado carries. The National Weather Service usually classifies a storm such as this as a tornado only after studying the images of the radar. This can show rotation in several different colors where winds moving away from a central core may be one color and then as it rotates back toward the core in a circular motion another color. They also can use other indicators. Jackson often explains on his social media pages like https://www.facebook.com/MySCWeather/ how all this works. As of Tuesday evening, there was no indication that the NWS was going to contradict Jackson and classify last nights weather event as a tornado either.

Hundreds of unordered Amazon dresses descend on Chapin home

CHAPIN, S.C. (WIS) - For one Chapin family, good things have not been coming in small packages.

Rebecca Kajouras reports to WIS she’s been contending with hundreds of Amazon packages arriving at her doorstep. They’re all filled with dresses, arriving at her home since February.

“People that stop by, I ask them if they want a dress, I’m like do you want a dress, I even offered two to my mail lady,” she said.

The packages are all labeled as returns but are coming from unique addresses and unique senders.

She said she has an Amazon account but isn’t sure why the boxes keep arriving.

“I can’t really get anybody from Amazon to give me a straight answer on what it is, when it’s going to stop, or how they’re going to handle it.”

She showed WIS what she estimates to be more than 100 packages from the last five weeks alone.

A spokesperson from Amazon said the corporate giant is investigating. The company also sent a statement reading:

Third-party sellers are prohibited from sending unsolicited packages to customers.If you receive a package or item that you didn’t order, check with friends and family or contact Customer Service to confirm it’s not a gift to you. If you receive a package addressed to someone else, please contact Customer Service. If you confirm that the package addressed to you wasn’t ordered by you or anyone you know, report the package online by going to the Report Unwanted Package form. Amazon investigates reports of “brushing” and takes action on bad actors that violate our policies, including suspending or removing selling privileges, withholding payments, and working with law enforcement. Customers don’t need to return the item.

In the meantime, Kajouras said she has been donating and giving away the dresses. She said she wants to avoid sending them to a landfill.

CHAPIN, S.C. — Construction in the Chapin Commons complex along Columbia Avenue has been on pause for several months now and locals are curious when things will start up again.

Thankfully, that answer is soon.

Happy Forks Restaurants CEO Ron Pereira explains a new med spa is planning to move in next to the breakfast restaurant Bakon in about three months.

A new gym is taking the place of Muv Fitness with expectations to be open in July.

Southern Smoked Tavern, a new restaurant is hopefully opening before the end of this year.

"Chapin is a very up and coming area. Obviously lots of construction with the road widening, lots of new houses coming this way. I know there's a lot of houses being built behind us. The town itself has been extremely supportive," Pereira said.

Pereira says a new drive through restaurant called Modern Fresco is moving into Chapin Commons too.

He adds that he has letters of intent to move in from a frozen yogurt place, nail salon, axe throwing place and cigar shop.

Pereira explains that it was important in this process to listen to what types of businesses locals wanted.

"Every brand that the restaurant has developed has been based on the insights of the town, the chamber of commerce. We're heavily involved there. So we put out some feelers and we get the feedback of the community first and foremost," Pereira said.

According to him, weather, labor shortages and steel and lumber nearly tripling in price halted work.

"It didn't make sense to keep pushing forward with the costs that were in the past year, so they finally settled out and now we can keep pushing forward and where it's affordable to the tenants. Last thing we want to do is bring a business in here and then they can't afford the rent," Pereira said.

"The schools are great, the people are great, Chapin's a great place to raise your family, raise your kids and I think that's going to help add jobs, more attraction to Chapin and we always need more restaurants here," Sidney James a Chapin resident said.

Pereira says he's hoping to have all tenants within their businesses by spring of 2024.
