“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.

How does In-home Senior Care in Owings Mills, MD 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 Owings Mills, MD

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 Owings Mills, 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.

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 Owings Mills, MD 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 Owings Mills, MD

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 Owings Mills,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.

Caregivers Owings Mills, MD

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.

#update #owingsmills WILDFIRE | CMD reports fire contained. Crews worked through the night to limit the spread of fire and continue to put out hot spots. Previous road closures remain in effect. #bcofd TF pic.twitter.com/Z3RPXWRJE1

— Baltimore County Fire Department (@BaltCoFire) April 5, 2023

Fire crews worked through the night to limit the spread of fire and continue to put out hot spots.

Roads will remain closed as crews are returning to their respective stations.

Baltimore County fire spokeswoman Elise Armacost said fire crews quickly recognized this fire was not a typical brush fire and they immediately called for additional assistance, which led to eight alarms.

"That is a huge incident," Armacost said.

Armacost said the last time the county has had something of this size and scope was in the 1970s when there was a fire and explosion in Upperco.

"It has literally been that long since we've had something of this magnitude," Armacost said.

The brush fire damaged hundreds of acres. Deputy Fire Chief Francis DiPaula said brush fires in Baltimore County are usually around 5 to 10 acres in size and that this was the largest fire spread that he has seen in the county.

Two outbuildings were destroyed, but no homes were destroyed. Firefighters are checking for damage, Armacost said. As many as 29 homes were evacuated. All evacuated residents are safe to return to their homes, fire officials tweeted shortly after 3 p.m.

The American Red Cross of the National Capital and Greater Chesapeake Region said its trained disaster responders will continue to work alongside county officials to support the households displaced and impacted by the Owings Mills fire. Any residents with disaster-related needs can call 800-RED-CROSS for assistance.

Baltimore County Fire Chief Joanne Rund said residents' cooperation in evacuating was critical in the operation and to maintain safety.

Additional air drops of water are planned through Wednesday afternoon to ensure a threat of additional fire has passed, Armacost said.

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski thanked career and volunteer firefighters from across Central Maryland for their assistance.

"This is really unprecedented," Olszewski said. "This was truly an all-hands-on-deck effort."

A cause of the fire remains under investigation.

ORIGINAL STORY (April 4): Crews are still working to extinguish a massive brush fire that spread rapidly Tuesday afternoon in the Owings Mills area, officials said.

Baltimore County fire Lt. Travis Francis said crews were called around 3 p.m. to the Soldiers Delight Natural Environment Area, where heavy smoke was billowing from the area. SkyTeam 11 reported that the smoke was visible from the opposite side of the county.

| VIDEO BELOW: SkyTeam 11 shows extent of massive brush fire

Francis said the fire had escalated to an unprecedented eight alarms in area of Deer Park Road and Berryman's Lane. Officials reported the fire was 90% contained as of 10 p.m., and crews would remain on scene overnight to continue efforts to extinguish the fire.

Francis said crews were having difficulty shuttling water to the area, which is a rural area without fire hydrants.

Officials evacuated 29 houses and are asking residents to avoid the area. Police said the following roads have been closed: Deer Park Road at Dolfield Road, Deer Park Road at Wards Chapel Road and Deer Park Road at Berryman's Lane.

The Department of Natural Resources also announced that all of the Soldiers Delight park areas will be closed until further notice.

No injuries were immediately reported, Francis said. Fire officials said there were reports of a missing hiker, but that person was found safe.

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olsewski shared a statement saying, "I am actively monitoring the brush fire at Soldiers Delight Park and thank the 200+ heroic firefighters from Baltimore County Fire, Carroll and Frederick Counties and the Forest Service for fighting this now 8-alarm incident. Please avoid the area at this time!"

Raw video below: News conference from Lt. Francis

Gov. Wes Moore also shared his thoughts, saying, "We are closely monitoring the brush fire that broke out this afternoon at Soldiers Delight in Owings Mills. Our agencies are onsite and are supporting the teams of firefighters from across central Maryland who are working to contain and extinguish the blaze."

WBAL-TV 11 Weather meteorologist Tony Pann said weather radar was picking up on the smoke in the area.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — An Ohio-based restaurant offering Philly cheesesteaks plans to open at least five locations in Maryland, and the first one is coming to Owings Mills.

The Original Steaks and Hoagies will hold a grand opening celebration this weekend at the eatery at Owings Mills Square shopping center, on Owings Mills Boulevard. Jimmy John's closed at that location.

The Original Steaks and Hoagies was started in Philadelphia 17 years ago and now has seven locations in the Cleveland/Akron area, as well as Indiana.

Jeff Wiseman, the franchiser from Cleveland, said a local franchisee is also looking at Columbia and would like a store in College Park. Ultimately, there will be at least five restaurants in Maryland.

The grand opening in Owings Mills will feature free cheesteaks for a year for the first 50 people in line. There will also be giveaways flat-screen TVs, Macbooks and other electronics.

Wiseman said the restaurant's food is "the real deal," and just like Philly cheesesteak icons Pat's or Geno's - from the Amoroso rolls to fresh shave ribeye or chicken, hot hoagies, and handmade tater tots.

"Real, authentic cheesesteak is finally being brought to Baltimore, Maryland," he said.

Original Article:

A fire at the Owings Mills Metro station on Friday caused a systemwide shutdown of the subway system in Baltimore.

According to Baltimore County Fire Department, fire and hazardous crews were called to an electrical-related fire at the Owings Mills Metro Station. The fire has caused a systemwide shutdown of subway service.

Firefighters said once they put out the fire, they gave Baltimore Gas and Electric and the Maryland Department of Transportation control of the area.

"Local fire stations responded, found significant smoke coming from an electrical room under a bridge that goes below the subway tracks," Baltimore County fire Lt. Travis Francis said. "Upon entry into that room, they had electrical components that do affect transit lines."

Shortly after 5 p.m., the Maryland Transit Administration released a statement, saying Metro subway service will remain closed as crews inspect equipment.

A bus bridge making all station stops between Owings Mills and Johns Hopkins will remain in service during the shutdown.
