The many choices for senior housing can be overwhelming. Some older adults are able to live out their retirement years playing golf and enjoying relatively few health problems. In contrast, others require assistance with their care needs which is often dictated by health and safety concerns.
Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters. Assisted living communities generally provide a home-like setting and are physically designed to promote the resident’s independence. Services are offered to assist residents with daily living. What “assisted living” means depends on both the state and provider in question. Variations in state regulatory definitions are significant and provider variables include everything from care provided to geographic location, organizational size, and structure.
Assisted living communities typically provide supervision or assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), coordination of services by outside health care providers, and monitoring of resident activities to help to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Assistance often includes the administration or supervision of medication, or personal care services. The services offered by assisted living communities vary from facility to facility. Services often include:

“Amazing service from ABC Senior Services! We had never used a service before and heard about always best care. We hired them to pick up my mother from her assisted living and bring her to our son‘s wedding 30 minutes away in Greensboro. From my first phone call with Samantha Loy, I was impressed with this company. Samantha was helpful, thorough, professional, all while being incredibly personable and caring. The actual caregiver was fabulous! I highly recommend Sarah! Not only did she do her job professionally, but she was an absolute joy to be with. She loved on my mother well. Sarah participated in our wedding service by wheeling my mother down the aisle, she assisted my mom in mingling with her family and friends, she joined our family table and was an absolute pleasure to be with! It was such a treat to have my mom attend the and not be worried about her! We would absolutely use Always Best Care again. It was money well spent!”
“Great caregivers working for a great agency. Everyone wins, especially my Mom. Sometimes the caregivers are taking care of me too; I always learn a new method or better way of finishing personal chores to keep Mom safe and comfortable. Best choice to use this agency over efforts to hire private caregivers. Trust and training make it a blessing to have the assistance from ABC”

“The staff is really sweet and understanding. I had a death in my family and they sent me a card im the mail, not only that they called me almost everyday that I was out of work to check on me and my family. I’ve never worked for a company that cares about there people. I love them so much!”
“Always Best Care (Care Givers) in general have been very personable, friendly, supportive. I think each family has their own needs but my expectations was exceeded as the care givers kept my mom engaged with crafts / activities to challenge her mentally, work with her to rehabilitate her using PT exercises and keep her spirits lifted. Shout out to Jaime for being her primary care giver who always went above and beyond the last couple months.”
“Always Best Care is truly a remarkable company! They have been SUCH a comfort and help to my mom and me over the past few years when she has needed short term care at various times. One thing I particularly wanted to acknowledge was the attention to my mom’s CPAP machine. She was very frustrated because the caregivers were not familiar with it and couldn’t help her. Lauren went to my mom’s apartment, took photos of the machine, and discussed with my mom how to operate it and secure the head piece and mask. My mom said that Lauren was going to educate her caregivers on how to help my mom use it so that it wouldn’t be such a frustration for my mom (and the caregivers). WOW! That is extremely thoughtful and proactive on the part of ABC!”

“My husband is using Always Best Care of Burlington for three mornings a week. It has been reliable. He is bedridden, so they do bedside care, fix his meals, and change his bed linens. They help with some of the laundry, and they clean up the dishes. It’s been adequate care. Their people are very willing, kind, and patient. They have been able to work with me on the scheduling, so we could get what we needed. I think they’ve done a good job. If there’s a person that can’t work that day, they always try to get me a substitute. We went through several caregivers. It took a little while until we got a person that could work on our schedule and do what we need. They worked hard to help us get the coverage we need. My husband is not exactly a very willing client. He’d rather I do everything. He’s not easy to work with, and they’ve been very patient with him. These folks really worked very hard to get us helpers here in the country.”
“At Always Best Care there is always a great administration team working to ensure that your loved ones are safe and taken care of, and provided with companionship. Phone lines are always open! Give them a call! I highly reccommend!”
“This agency has gone above and beyond to help my parents! Each day that a worker is scheduled to help at their home, they are prompt and ALWAYS show up! If our family has questions, we feel welcome AND HEARD when we call. If they don’t have the answer immediately, the agency returns our call quickly. It’s not easy when you are at a point in life that you need additional assistance in your home. We are thankful that the employees treat my parents as they would treat their own parents. Thank you Always Best Care of Alamance County! Janet Royal”
“Such caring staff and administration that always is available to communicate with you concerning your loved one’s needs. They do their absolute best to cover, even in last minute emergencies. I rest so much better knowing they are taking care of my Mom.”
“I highly recommend Always Best Care for employment. I absolutely love working for them. They are easy to talk to, family oriented, very flexible with your schedule, understanding the delicate balance of family and work, provides ongoing training and always have extra cases to pick up and receive bonuses. I also recommend ABC as a home health care provider for someone’s loved one. Our caregivers are compassionate and often go over and beyond to assist the client and family in any situation. This is one of the BEST companies I have worked for and I absolutely love what I do. I couldn’t be happier.”

There are many choices for seniors to consider when it comes to finding a community that will best fit their needs.
Independent living communities are for adults, generally ages 55 and older, who don’t need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), but are looking for a living environment that offers additional support, onsite amenities and socializing opportunities and activities.
A continuing care retirement community (CCRCs) offers multiple options along the continuum of senior living housing and healthcare spectrum. Many CCRCs offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care all on one campus. If care needs change, residents can transition within the community to the proper care setting. In most cases, in-home care is also provided.
Assisted living is a type of housing designed for people who need various levels of medical and personal care. Living spaces can be individual rooms, apartments, or shared quarters.
Residential care communities for the elderly, sometimes referred to as board and care homes, are responsible for providing assisted living services to residents in a homelike and community setting, allowing them to maintain independence while continuing to receive nursing level of care as needed.
Memory care is a type of long-term care geared toward those living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive-degenerative dementia.
Nursing homes are senior living facilities that offer a high level of medical care. Like assisted living facilities, nursing homes have numerous amenities and help with basic activities. However, they also provide medication management and 24-hour supervision, leading to a more clinical environment as well as the highest level of care for individuals who don’t require hospitalization.
Always Best Care representatives can help match each client’s physical, emotional, and financial needs with the amenities and services of the local communities in your area. This is based on the use of comparative data that can help you determine the best option for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with the senior living communities in your area to gain extensive knowledge that is used to help seniors and their loved ones make an informed decision about the best option for them. This includes basic rent and care charges, services provided, and availability. Because Always Best Care is compensated by the communities, we provide senior living referral services that are provided at no charge to the client.
The transition into a senior living community can be a daunting task. Your spouse can play a huge role in your well-being. In many cases, especially assisted and independent living, spouses are certainly welcome to join their loved one. If this is something you are considering, it will be important to ask the community you are considering if your spouse is welcome to join you. Also, be sure to ask how costs are allocated for your spouse.
Moving into a senior community is based on when and how you and your family want to transition. While some seniors are more proactive in moving into independent living, others choose to remain home until they have care needs or other requirements that make moving into a senior living community the right decision.
