Home Care Belcamp, MD

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 Sophia's Dairy 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 Belcamp, MD is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I used Always Best Care to care for my parents who happen to live in”

I used Always Best Care to care for my parents who happen to live in another state. I met with Elaine (the owner) to discuss my options and determine the best caregiver service to meet my parents needs. She was a great help; addressed all my questions and concerns and gave me peace of mind that my parents were in good hands. Their caregiver is wonderful and very competent. I don't have to worry about them or become a detective to find out what is going on with them in Maryland. Although my parents were a little skeptical at first, Elaine and her staff have put their mind at ease and made them feel very comfortable about the entire experience. They both feel much safer now and happier that they are able to stay in the home that they love. I am comforted in knowing that my parents are receiving quality care and they are in the capable hands of Elaine and her staff at Always Best Care. Words can not express my sincere gratitude for the awesome care provided to my parents.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Belcamp, MD?

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. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Waffle House or visit Swansbury, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Belcamp, MD, 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 Belcamp, MD

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 MD'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 Belcamp, MD

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 Belcamp, MD 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 Belcamp, MD

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 Belcamp, MD

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:

  • Sterling Care Riverside
  • Vpcbh
  • Measure Of Grace Assisted Living
  • Amani Best Home Care - Assisted Living
  • Jacobs Well
  • Senior Placements By Patty
Home Care Belcamp, MD

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 Belcamp, MD

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

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

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — A 69-year-old Bel Air man has been sentenced to prison for his role in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud and tax evasion as part of a kickback scheme that defrauded his employer of more than $20 million.

According to his guilty plea, Elliott Dennis Kleinman was a longtime employee of a family-owned global business headquartered in New York, but had manufacturing facilities in Belcamp and Abingdon. Starting in 2012, Kleinman and another employee, Eugene DiNoto, used their management positions at the company to execute a fraudulent billing scheme where they would receive illegal kickbacks from various drum vendors doing business with the company, which used drums to store and transport its products.

As the facility managers, Kleinman and DiNoto oversaw the purchasing and storing of drums for use at the Harford County manufacturing facilities. They also had the authority to review drum invoices and authorize payments to the drum vendors. They partnered with Anthony P. Urcioli, Sr., owner and president of Tunnel, Barrel & Drum Co, Inc. (TBD), in Carlstadt, New Jersey, and Hartford Fibre Drum, Inc. Urcioli agreed to fraudulently invoice the company for more drums than what TBD sold and delivered to the company then split the extra money among the men, according to court documents.

Urcioli agreed to participate in the false billing scheme and in December 2013, Urcioli told DiNoto about Hartford, the other drum supply company Urcioli owned. The men agreed to include Hartford in their kickback scheme starting in January 2012. Urcioli created fake invoices, sent them to DiNoto, who then passed them on to the company's headquarters for payment.

To keep their activities under wraps, Urcioli created a handwritten purchase order ticket that summarized the breakdown of actual and bogus drum orders, and how the kickback amounts were calculated. Urcioli put a copy of the purchase order ticket in an envelope along with DiNoto’s and Kleinman’s share of the kickback amount payable via checks from TBD and Hartford, then sent the envelope to DiNoto’s and Kleinman’s personal residences. Urcioli wanted to pay the kickbacks to Kleinman and DiNoto by check so the payments would look like payments to drum wholesalers and be deductible as a cost of goods sold on TBD’s tax returns, court documents showed.

Find out what's happening in Bel Airwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Between January 2012 and January 2020, Urcioli falsely invoiced the family-owned company a total of $20,300,757 and Kleinman’s share of the kickbacks was approximately $2,307,121. Kleinman opened and maintained two commercial bank accounts including one for a retail store he owned in Bel Air. Kleinman deposited the drum vendor’s checks into one of those two bank accounts where it was withdrawn as cash, used to pay personal expenses or transferred to the bank account for Main Street Cigars, prosecutors stated.

From 2017 through 2019, TBD paid Kleinman a total of approximately $1,034,911 in kickbacks for his role in the fraudulent billing scheme. Kleinman’s 2017 through 2019 income tax returns filed with the IRS did not report those kickback payments as personal or business income, resulting in a loss to the U.S. government of approximately $291,143, court documents showed.

Kleinman has been sentenced to 42 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. He also was ordered by the judge to pay restitution of $19,300,757 and to forfeit $2,038,997. DiNoto, 53, of Bel Air, and Urcioli, Sr., 78, of Park Ridge, New Jersey, previously pleaded guilty to their roles in the scheme.

BEL AIR, Md. — After a several months long investigation 22 people have been indicted on drug trafficking and weapons charges in Harford County.

The indictments are the culmination of an investigation called "Operation All Aboard," which centered on alleged crimes committed between July and October 2020.

The bust began when authorities received two tips from the community, leading investigators to wiretap 18 phone lines and a social media messenger platform.

Court documents allege that Che Durbin and Reginald Bolden ran a drug organization that trafficked large quantities of cocaine from Arizona to be distributed throughout Harford County.

The investigation netted more than 2.5 kilos of cocaine, 66.2 grams of crack cocaine, 69 pills of fentanyl, 435 grams of marijuana, 31 suboxone strips, 28 firearms, 19 vehicles worth more than a quarter-million dollars and approximately $110,000 in cash.

BEL AIR, MD — A would-be business owner hoping to open a large liquor store at Tollgate Marketplace faced significant opposition Wednesday at a hearing about the liquor license application. The Harford County Board of Liquor Control voted 3-1 to deny the license for Cork Wine & Spirits.

Cork had been trying to obtain a Class A-1 liquor license, which would allow for sales of beer, wine and liquor seven days a week in the space where Party City used to be.

A small herd of lawyers represented those opposed to the proposal, and their clients included both business owners and community members concerned about the impacts of the 9,428-square-foot store on their own livelihoods and safety.

Due to the amount of opposition, the liquor board hearing was held at Waters Edge in Belcamp.

There were six factors commissioners had to consider in determining whether the liquor board should grant the license request, according to the Maryland Alcoholic Beverage Code:

Tilley said the decision was "one of the toughest" he has had to make in his five years as a commissioner for the liquor board.

Commissioners said they were concerned about the lack of information the owner had about everything from staffing to inventory to rent.

Vales said he "hasn’t had the opportunity to meet with the other investors" and did not want to say how many there were. He said he was leaving his teaching career to open the liquor store and did not want to give answers to questions he did not have information about.

"I maybe lack a little bit of experience, but we're going to do everything we can," Vales said, to "bring a sense of pride" to Tollgate Marketplace.

“We should have gotten some more details,” Commissioner Cheryl Davis Kohl said. "Other businesses are protesting, being honest, putting their cards on the table."

Fellow commissioner Frederic L. Merchant agreed and said: "I'm not convinced" that Cork met criteria required for a license to be granted.

Joseph Snee, the attorney representing the JBST Enterprises, Inc., the group behind Cork Wine & Spirits, told Patch after the decision was handed down that he advised his clients to "sleep on it," following a hearing that lasted more than eight hours, and they planned to regroup early next week.

If the group wanted to appeal, the next step would be to take the case to Harford County Circuit Court.

The appeal must be made within 30 days of the decision from the liquor board.

BEL AIR, MD — Two girls have been charged with arson in connection with the fire at the historic Victorian mansion on Creswell Road that broke out in May, according to the fire marshal. The two-alarm blaze caused significant damage to the building that was more than 150 years old.

Both 16-year-old girls were charged as juveniles, Senior Deputy State Fire Marshal Oliver Alkire told Patch. As a result, they are not being identified.

When the fire broke out at 11:10 a.m. on May 3, officials said more than 50 firefighters were called to the blaze in the 2400 block of Creswell Road. It took hours to control the blaze at the building, which was vacant.

While the structure was on the grounds of the Arrow Child and Family Ministry Center, the building was neither owned nor operated by Arrow.

The mansion was built in 1868 for the last owner of Harford Furnace, Clement Dietrich, and many in Harford County knew it as Old Main for the former Eastern Christian College, investigators said.

"We do know that at the time of the investigation, it was going to be completely razed — it was going to be destroyed," Alkire told Patch.

"Due to the damage, we never really put a price tag on it," he said, adding that it was "probably a million [dollars in damage] due to its historical significance."

In the aftermath of the blaze, deputy fire marshals partnered in the investigation with the Harford County Sheriff's Office and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), which assists when there are large losses.

For days, investigators worked to gather warrants and subpoenas related to the fire, Alkire said. Once the Harford County state's attorney was presented with their findings, charges were filed.

The two 16-year-old girls who live at the Arrow Center were charged with second-degree arson, malicious destruction of property and first-degree malicious burning, according to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Officials said they were referred to the Department of Juvenile Services.

"They are still in the custody of the Arrow Center," Alkire said Tuesday night. He said the charges were filed last week.

Arrow Crossroads Transitional Living is a residential program for girls ages 13 to 21 in the foster care system that prepares them for independent living. It is located in the 2400 block of Creswell Road.

Due to the ongoing nature of the case, Alkire declined to specify where and how the fire started, other than to say it was intentionally set inside the building, which is at 2408 Creswell Road.
