Home Care In Greensboro, NC

Home Care Greensboro, NC

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 Millennium Gate 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 Greensboro, NC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I hired these folks on a recommendation from the assisted living facility where my Mom lives, to facilitate Mom’s attendance at our family Christmas party on Christmas Day. The contracting was seamless and the aide who signed up, Serenity, was great. She was on-time, brought all the paraphernalia we requested for Mom’s safety and comfort, made the 80 mile round trip without a hitch, and provided Mom with nearly invisible, but reassuring care at our party. Thank you to all!”

TESTIMONIALS

“"Always Best Care" Senior Services in Greensboro, NC helped our family find the perfect fit placement for our mother in an assisted living facility. Stephen Carlson, Director of Community Relations, was very instrumental in providing us with 5 Star, phenomenal, personal attention to what we were wanting and expecting in her care. When our mother fell and could no longer walk, we had to make quick decisions in the hospital and had no clue or guidance as to how we were going to navigate this new journey. When she was moved to a rehab facility, that is where we were introduced to Stephen Carlson. He was our saving grace as he rescued us from all uncertainty we were facing. As he himself in his own family faced these same circunstances, he had tremendous empathy and knowledge, along with compassion, to help us get through this transition. He was so easy to talk to, and listens to all questions and goes far and beyond to seek out the answers. Stephen is a sweet soul who really cares and what is amazing is he always answers your phone call promptly and if you need a shoulder to cry on, he is there. May God bless Stephen Carlson back for the blessings he blessed us with. He was truly a gift to us! Thank you! He still continues to be if we need help.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Greensboro, NC?

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.

Home Care Greensboro, NC
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 Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar or visit Sunset Hills Historic District, 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Greensboro, NC

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide.

Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

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 Greensboro, NC, 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 Greensboro, NC

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 NC'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.

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 Greensboro, NC 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 Greensboro, NC

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 Greensboro, NC

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:

  • Carriage House Senior Living Community
  • Best Assisted Living Greensboro - Luxury Senior Living Greensboro NC & Senior Care North Carolina
  • Heritage Greens
  • Brookdale Northwest Greensboro
  • Wellington Oaks
  • Brookdale Lawndale Park
Home Care Greensboro, NC

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.

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 Always Best Care 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:

A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

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.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Greensboro, NC 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

With almost 600 students at fully capacity, the visual and performing arts school will finally be ready come Fall of 2025.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — “We are going to be an arts integration school and so from the design up we are talking about how art is the foundation of everything that we do," proclaimed Shannon Peeples, former Principal of Cone Elementary.

After construction delays and a ballooned budget from inflation, Guilford County’s Visual and Performing Arts School is on the path to having its opening night.

The first public school of its kind in Guilford County, The Visual and Performing Arts School will be a fully arts integrated institution catering to kindergarten through 5th grade.

“Students who are exposed to the arts tend to perform better academically. Research shows that time and time again we teach them safe ways to learn to express themselves. To explore different modalities and maybe they have had opportunities with before," said Peeples.

The former Cone Elementary principal, Peeples, will be playing the esteemed part of the inaugural principal for the arts school -- task she didn't even realize she was up for until now.

“I remember when the tornadoes came through being out in the neighborhoods and helping and seeing what was here versus what's here now and even from a few months ago when I drove by. And was checking on progress, not yet knowing, um, for sure that I would be leading here. It's amazing to see just how far we've come and to envision what this is gonna look like in just a few months with students," Peeples said.

But what are classes without students? With a capacity for nearly 600 students, The Arts School still has plenty of space. Principal Peeples says, it’s all a part of being a class of firsts.

“Yes, there are going to be growing pains, but we are at a perfect time of year to help let people know we are here... We want long term of course to be a wonderful foundation for students who go on to explore the arts at the other schools in our district. We have performing arts schools that are at the middle and high school, so taking the opportunity with visual and performing arts in elementary can give them that fantastic foundation."

While the stage isn’t full yet, this Elementary Arts School will certainly be a first in this next chapter for Guilford County Schools long-awaited Bond Projects. Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are still open.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina officials are warning residents about dangerously cold temperatures and significant snowfall expected to impact the state, particularly in eastern regions. During a press conference on Tuesday, Governor Josh Stein and emergency management leaders outlined preparations for the severe winter weather event.

"For those who live along the coast or in areas that receive snow or sleet, please avoid driving unless it is absolutely necessary to travel," Governor Stein urged, emphasizing that road conditions could become hazardous due to cold ground temperatures.

Emergency Management Director William Ray announced that a winter storm warning is in effect for the entire North Carolina coastline and inland counties in far eastern North Carolina starting at 5 p.m. The Outer Banks and northeastern coastal counties could see 6 to 8 inches of snowfall, while central North Carolina may receive 1 to 3 inches.

"Wind chill values as low as 14 below zero will be possible across the mountains, and single digits down to 0 degrees are possible across the state tonight into tomorrow," Ray warned.

The state has activated emergency response teams and deployed National Guard units to eastern regions to support local emergency services.

WCNC Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich explained that the unusual weather pattern means more snow for southern and eastern regions.

"I don't normally say the further south and east you go, the more snow you're gonna get, but that's the case with this setup," Panovich noted.

He warned that even light snowfall could create dangerous road conditions due to the extremely cold temperatures.

Officials recommend residents keep mobile devices charged in case of power outages, let faucets drip to prevent pipe freezing, and avoid unnecessary travel. The state Department of Transportation has been pre-treating roads, focusing on eastern North Carolina, while the Highway Patrol and National Guard are positioned to respond to emergencies.

7:38 p.m. -- Snow to end at 10 p.m.

Quick update for you. Forecast is on track. Snow ending by 10pm or so. Trace to an inch for our Triad area looks good still. Bit more as you head toward Raleigh and way more toward the coast. Take it slow out there. @wfmy #ncwx pic.twitter.com/7Xqwf87lxS

7:28 p.m. -- Local traffic

We have a dry powdery snow sticking to the roadways. Bit easier to drive in than our more typical wet snow. So far, traffic is slowing modestly. Stands to reason it will get slower as we go through the evening. Best to hang tight if you don't have to be out. pic.twitter.com/ZIV0SlMq8W

Bitter cold air arrives next week, but a winter storm isn't a sure thing yet.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — All the chatter about snow is pretty hard to miss right now. We've already had a winter storm, and another one is brewing for next week. You've come to the right place to get some honest info on the winter weather threats.

Simply put, we're getting more confident a winter storm will hit North Carolina. However, it's still unclear on exactly who will get snow and who will stay dry.

We definitely know this. We have a real deal cold snap coming for early next week. We're likely to drop below freezing on Sunday night and stay there until Thursday afternoon.

Think about that. That's going to be a stretch of sub-freezing temperatures that could last close to 100 hours.

This cold air keeps open the possibility for winter weather, if a storm can form.

Yes, it's looking more likely that a winter storm will form and track across the South. It will actually start int Texas and Louisiana on Monday into Tuesday. From there, it will follow the jet stream and push eastward.

For Georgia and the Carolinas, the storm will be moving our way Tuesday night into Wednesday. The track is far enough south that parts of our region will stay dry, while others will see snow or ice.

This is a rare case where it appears the Coastal and Eastern parts of the Carolinas will have a better chance at winter weather than the Western Mountains and Piedmont.

Around here in the Triad, we have a chance of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, but we look to be on the edge of dry air. It's unclear just how far west the snow will stretch into our area.

Since we're still 4-5 days away from any potential winter weather, there are things that we do know, but a lot we still don't know yet. Here's what we do know for now:

- Our air will be frigid. Lows in the 10s, highs around 30.

- There's likely to be a winter storm in North Carolina, most likely Tuesday night into Wednesday.

- Any snow or ice that falls across the state will linger on the ground for days

- Who will get snow, and who will stay dry?

- How much snow will people get

You're likely to see lots of chatter and folks hyping this up, talking about extreme cold or crazy snow amounts for next week - they're just not true and have no merit.

- We look at these models a lot to help us forecast, but they usually are all over the place this far out and change constantly in this range.

- Your phone apps will have wild predictions and changes, too. Don't use those for winter weather.

- There's no need to go crazy or run to the store.
