“Dear Mr. Gardner, I am writing to express my gratitude for the commitment and service of your employee, Shameka Kelly. Through your agency, Ms. Kelly was connected to our family to serve as a caregiver for my sister Victoria who was in the late states of ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease and required 24-hr. care at home. Shameka served as full-time caregiver under the direction of Victoria’s husband Ron, who was able to keep my sister at home until her passing this past March. This catastrophic and incurable disease rendered my sister completely paralyzed—wheelchair bound, unable to speak, bathe, eat or even lift a finger to do anything for herself. Shameka did what most caregivers would not or simply could not do because of the stamina and patience required to care for Victoria. Before Shameka, we hired a multitude of caregivers who came and went—sometimes only after one day—because of how strenuous and taxing being a caregiver to my sister was. Day after day, Shameka arrived for the job with a smile on her face and the patience and commitment to go with it. My sister Victoria grew to love Shameka, as we all have. It was a great comfort to us because we knew that if Shameka was on duty, my sister was in good hands. Shameka’s character, integrity, humor, honesty and professionalism are beyond reproach. She is an extremely caring individual who is always upbeat, optimistic, and patient. She was an answer to prayer for our family and became more than a caregiver—she became part of our family. She has my highest recommendation for any task or client that may be placed before her. And we will be forever grateful. Kindest Regards, Pamela Meek North Richland Hills, TX”

 In-Home Care Plano, TX

How does In-home Senior Care in Plano, TX 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 Plano, TX

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 Plano, TX, 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 Plano, TX 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 Plano, TX

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 Plano,TX 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 Plano, TX

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.

Along Preston Road next to Sea Breeze Fish Market & Grill at Lakeside Market is a set of large ornate doors that seemingly lead nowhere.

But what about the number 4017 tacked up above it?

The secret lies inside Sea Breeze. If patrons politely pry the staff, they might just be given the password to Plano’s only speakeasy: The Wilfred.

What's special about it?

Named after his 13-year-old dog, the idea for the speakeasy was brewing for years inside the mind of owner Ryan Oruch, whose father owns Sea Breeze. Oruch wanted to channel his passion for hospitality, cultivated over years of working at the restaurant, into an experience unknown to the Plano bar scene.

When a space opened up next door, Oruch seized the opportunity and transformed the former yoga studio into an esoteric bar. And by Sept. 12, it was open to the public. The nook is a dimly lit complete with warm purples and golds, crystal chandeliers, a disco ball, velvety wallpaper and a portrait of Wilfred.

“The whole atmosphere is all about setting the vibe and trying to bring Plano an experience it doesn't have,” he said.

The seating is designed as an intimate community space that allows guests to enjoy time with their friends while also being inviting enough to engage with people they have never met. In contrast to the exclusivity of traditional speakeasies, Oruch said he wanted to create a welcoming environment where patrons can come as they are.

What's on the menu

Key to imparting that experience is crafting next-level premium cocktails, Oruch said. The drink menu is a collaboration between Oruch and Dallas cocktail masters Gabe Sanchez and Ryan Payne.

“From a culinary standpoint, I look at drinks just like we look at food,” he said.

Some of the choices include the Bubblz & Berriez, a strawberry-infused vodka dashed with honey syrup, lemon and prosseco, and The Hotbox, a hickory-smoked old fashioned served in a glass dome. To kick things up a notch, cocktails can come with a bump of caviar. It's an open invitation to taste something new, Oruch said.

Certain drinks are designed to pair well with it, such as the truffle-infused vodka and gin Ooooooomami cocktail, Wilfred’s play on a Vesper.

The Wilfred was also Oruch and his team’s chance to flex their culinary diversity outside of his family's seafood restaurant next door and offer completely unique dinner options. Wagyu smashburger sliders, truffle fries, duck fat hash browns, and pastrami-cured salmon and caviar are just some of the menu's full spectrum, which Oruch describes as “eclectic bites that you want to have while you’re boozing it up,” he said.

However, there are a few items, such as tuna tartare and lobster and burrata, that show they’re still the seafood guys in town, Oruch said; it is the same team of chefs after all.

“The whole hope was that we have two different experiences in one with that same quality and consistency,” he said.

One more thing

While Oruch is still heavily involved at Sea Breeze, he spends almost every night at The Wilfred, hanging up his apron for a crisp shirt and a brown wide-brimmed fedora. He literally wears two hats as chef and hospitality host, but he said he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I get rewarded seeing everyone having a great time from the experience that we created,” he said.

First, a huge THANK YOU to all who were able to show up to the Q&A this week at CoCo Beach. Your participation, questions and support for our magazine is so important to us as a hyperlocal publication.

For those who were unable to make it, don’t worry – our livestream of the event is available on Instagram Reels and we’re giving you the rundown right here:

Introduction

Though I’ve been editor of Plano Magazine in some capacity for about a year now, I haven’t had the opportunity to formally introduce myself to the community. So, if we haven’t met, hi! My name is Alyssa High and I am the editor of Plano Magazine. I came to the magazine after finishing my Master’s in Journalism at the University of North Texas and working at The Dallas Morning News, The Dallas Observer and getting bylines in several other publications. Fun fact: In grad school, I became so passionate about my thesis topic, Neurodiversity in Media, that I went on to start my PhD in strategic communication and psychology.

Now, in the last year, a lot of readers like you have asked about emails you may receive about Advocate Media or us being a nonprofit, and I wanted to have the opportunity to clarify how it all relates to each other.

As most of you know, Plano Magazine was started by Jennifer and Luke Shertzer in 2016. The duo quickly built the bimonthly publication that you all came to know and love, and when they were ready to move on to other things, they looked to their office neighbor and fellow magazine editor Jehadu Abshiro. Abshiro is the publisher an of Advocate Media, a hyperlocal news magazine publisher with 4 neighborhood magazines: Lake Highlands Advocate, Preston Hollow Advocate, Lakewood/East Dallas Advocate and Oak Cliff Advocate. Plano Magazine soon became the fifth publication in the Advocate brand. As the Advocate acquired Plano Magazine, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Publications all over the world shut down or slowed production and printing. During this time, Advocate and, by extension, Plano Magazine, made the same transition as many publications – the move to nonprofit status.

What does that mean? Well, being a nonprofit means that while most of our revenue still comes from advertising, we are able to accept grants from award-winning journalistic organizations and accept donations from readers who know and love our work.

The Qs and As

Why don’t I get Plano Magazine to my house anymore? Are you still printing physical copies? While we resumed printing after the hit to publishers during the pandemic lulled, we currently only distribute to about 75,000 people in Plano. We know that is only a small portion of our great city, and we discuss efforts to expand our distribution and increase places where we have racks regularly. We are currently working to add an accessible map of our rack distribution to our website. For now, if you don’t get the magazine and would like to, please email me at [email protected] and I will see if we are able to deliver to your area.

What happened to the Plano Magazine offices in Plano? Like many publications, after COVID we work mostly from home. As part of the Advocate Media system, we do have offices in the Lakewood area of Dallas, but we do not have a physical office in Plano. However, I don’t see this as a bad thing! When I meet with Plano residents, I like to know your favorite restaurants, coffeeshops and other gathering places. Meeting around the city means getting to see more people and businesses that make Plano awesome, and I look forward to continuing to do that in each future issue.

How can we support Plano Magazine? As most publications are struggling with low staffing numbers, we are no exception. We unfortunately cannot be everywhere at once, so if you hear of events or issues that are important to you as the Plano community, let us know! We will try to cover as much as we can, and prioritize the things that are most important to Planoites from all over the city. While larger publications might have one reporter that covers all of Collin County, they often aren’t residents of the area themselves. We are! You won’t see us covering things only relevant to people in Frisco or Allen or even outside of the county in our publication. If it isn’t about or for Plano, it’s not here.

Are you looking to hire or do you accept interns? We LOVE our Plano Magazine interns and are very flexible depending on what the intern wants to get out of the experience. We have had interns who have been paid through grants we have received as a nonprofit newsroom or through partnerships with UNT programs. We accept college interns who are looking for course credit every summer and occasionally during the school year. We also accept high school interns, who work with us typically on a case-by-case basis to contribute to the magazine and shadow our editors to see how the process works. I have also previously given talks to high school and college journalism students about Plano Magazine and careers in journalism and I would love to talk with any young person who is interested in the field and answer any questions they may have.

Why should we support Plano Magazine? It’s no secret that DFW is home to many amazing and award-winning publications. However, Plano Magazine is the only news publication that focuses solely on Plano. We believe that Plano is excellent and worth its own publication, and we intend to fill that gap and keep it that way. We’re also Planoites. I myself live in Plano, as do our employees. As your neighbors, we care about what you care about and want to see the same positive coverage and positive change that you do. In short,

The bottom line is, we want to be accessible to you as a resource for the community, and love to hear from our readers regardless of the occasion. Feel free to shoot me an email and introduce yourself, and I look forward to meeting you all in the future. And don’t forget to sign up for newsletters if you haven’t already! We send out one newsletter and one events newsletter per week!

Plano leads nation in cost of living increases

The city of Plano is at the top of a list for cost of living increases this year, according to a report released by SmartAsset.com. Good Day talked to Mayor John Muns about the report and why he thinks Plano is 22% more expensive than the national average.

PLANO, Texas - A new report puts a city in North Texas at the top of a nationwide list for cost of living increases this year.

The financial technology company SmartAsset looked at data from 237 areas in the United States.

It found Plano’s cost of living index is now 122. That’s up nearly 10 points from last year and means Plano is 22% more expensive than the national average.

Dallas is at 103, or 3% more expensive than the national average. Austin’s index of 101 is slightly down from a year ago.

Plano Mayor John Muns said he was surprised by the report.

"In the grand scheme of things, we're not a lot different than any of the communities around us and we've all experienced inflation over the last several years. And so, whether it be housing or groceries or gas, we've all experienced the same thing," he said.

The report said most of Plano’s cost increases came through housing, healthcare, and goods and services other than groceries.

Inflation has created financial pressures for most U.S. households and forced them to pay more for daily necessities like food and rent.

"We obviously have a housing shortage. Plano no longer has a whole lot of available land left to do green field developments like other cities around us," the mayor said. "The demand is always still there, and yet we don’t have the inventory that make it available for those to buy a new home or a starter home."

Muns said that’s one of the reasons he and city leaders are continuously working on identifying areas for new growth or redevelopment.

While some other cities in the U.S. are much more expensive overall, the cost-of-living index in many large cities dropped more than 10% from pandemic highs.

That’s the case for Honolulu, San Francisco, and Manhattan.
