It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
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 Robert M. Bashford House 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 Madison, NC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

I appreciated her honest information delivered with compassion and respect. Leslie has been so supportive through the entire process. Don’t hesitate to call for help with your loved one”
“I couldn't be happier with the help of Stephen Carlson. He helped move my mom from a really bad situation to a really great one. Our first phone conversation he said "you are going to have to trust me." And I'm so glad I did. He told me that the place he thought best for my mom was maybe might not the most convenient but he knew how caring and loving the environment would be. I'd much rather be inconvenienced than have my mom treated poorly. So I trusted him and we are forever grateful! He gave me the 1st hand information on much closer places and still thought this farther away place would be the best scenario. He reassured me that no matter where we did move her to, we could always update him on how things were going. And he takes that information into consideration for all his clients and that's how he knows the scoop! I believe the families he works with trust him because he is honest and open. People report back to him the necessary details so he knows where and where not to suggest to his clients. My mom was in a facility we were really unhappy with. After going to the hospital and speaking with a social worker, she suggested I speak with Stephen and assured me he would help us find a better situation. My mom has Alzheimer's so she can not advocate for herself. Aside from having family to help her navigate this, we really needed someone who knew where we could trust her being taken care of properly. I feel like he made this transition from awful to wonderful so easy and removed the stress from our lives in a pretty stressful time. He was so fast and accommodating. I will absolutely pass his name on to any and everyone in the future. He continues to check in with me and my mom and I couldn't love him more. Thank you Stephen! Thank you Always Best Care Senior Services for doing what you do!”
“We had the pleasure of being introduced to Stephen Carlson from a referring social worker and from the moment we spoke we knew we were in excellent hands. Stephen is diligent, communicative, efficient, compassionate, and a true professional. He went above and beyond investigating our needs for our elderly relative and stayed in contact over the Christmas period to ensure we were happy. I would highly recommend Stephen and his team; Always Best Care is a rare godsend in times of need and uncertainty when it comes to placement for your elderly loved one. Thank you Stephen for everything. We truly appreciate you!”
“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!”
“Stephen Carlson with Always Best Care was a tremendous help to my sister and I when seeking out assisted living communities for our Mother. Stephen helped ease our anxieties by setting up tours for us, answering the many questions that we had, and guiding us through the process. I give Stephen the highest recommendation if you are considering qualify senior living facilities for your loved one!”
“"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.”

He found us long term care at Greenhaven. He helped explain so many things to me and the family about how the care works and how Medicade works. From the start Steven made us all feel like family and friends thanks for everything you are a special person. We thank you so much for everything.”
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.
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 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.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting James Madison Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
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 L'Etoile Restaurant or visit Harold C. Bradley House, 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.
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. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
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.

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.
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 Madison, 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.
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:
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 Madison, 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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
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
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
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.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Madison, NC 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
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.

Greensboro-based textile company to sell its Madison factory and move the jobs to its other North America and Central America facilities. The announcement that the company is closing one of its Triad facilities comes on the eve of its next quarterly report.
Yarn maker Unifi is closing its Madison factory and putting it up for sale as it moves production work elsewhere, the company announced Tuesday morning.
Unifi intends to permanently lay off 91 employees at the facility at 805 Island Drive, the company told the North Carolina Department of Commerce in a letter dated Monday. The anticipated layoff date for the employees is April 4, the company said.
The company expects it will close the Madison facility in the third quarter, with more layoffs likely, though the exact date is unknown, the company told the Commerce Department.
Greensboro-based Unifi did not say in its pre-dawn announcement where the production and jobs will go but said the work will “be consolidated into Unifi facilities in North and Central America.”
CEO Eddie Ingle said in the statement that the company will offer jobs at other North Carolina facilities, which include operations in Yadkinville and Reidsville as well as the company's headquarters in Greensboro. Unifi lists five manufacturing facilities it owns in Yadkinville in its most recent annual report, along with two factories in Reidsville. Others listed are five warehouses in Yadkinville, two in Madison and one in Reidsville. The Madison factory is 947,000 square feet, according to Unifi.
About 650 people work for Unifi in the company's facilities in Madison and Reidsville, according to Rockingham County's list of largest employers, but that includes other company operations there. According to TBJ research, the company employed almost 1,700 in the Triad as of November, making it the region's seventh largest manufacturer.
Unifi described the decision as a footprint reduction that will improve efficiency and increase utilization rates at its remaining facilities and help long-term profitability.
“We are very grateful for the hard work, contributions, and support from everyone involved with the Madison facility, including the community and employees, past and present. We will work closely with our employees and community to ensure the smoothest transition possible, and we are offering existing employees available opportunities at our other facilities in North Carolina,” Ingle said.
The company said it will elaborate on the decision during its quarterly conference call Thursday morning. It's scheduled to issue its second quarter financial release late Wednesday afternoon.
Last February, Unifi announced on the eve of its Q2 report that it was reducing its employee headcount by an undisclosed number and naming several new executives as part of a plan to reduce costs, streamline operations and invest in innovation.
In its most recent quarterly report in October, Unifi said net sales increased 6% year to year but was still reporting a financial loss of $7.6 million, though it was down nearly half from $13.3 million a year earlier.
Unifi makes filament and spun yarn, staple fiber, resin, polyester flake used in apparel, footwear, home furnishings, industry and construction, medical and military applications. Its Repreve brand recycled fiber is made from recycled plastic drink bottles.
Unifi (NYSE: UFI), a leader in recycled and synthetic yarn, announced plans to transition production from its Madison, North Carolina facility and put the property up for sale in 2025.

Unifi (NYSE: UFI), a leader in recycled and synthetic yarn, announced plans to transition production from its Madison, North Carolina facility and put the property up for sale in 2025. The company will consolidate production into its existing facilities across North and Central America.
The strategic move aims to improve efficiency, lower fixed costs, and enhance profitability without impacting sales volume or production capacity. The consolidation will increase utilization rates at remaining facilities and improve fixed cost absorption. Proceeds from the property sale will be used to reduce existing debt.
The company will relocate certain equipment to maintain business continuity and customer service levels. UNIFI is offering existing Madison employees opportunities at other North Carolina facilities to ensure a smooth transition. Additional details will be provided during the company's Q2 fiscal 2025 earnings call on February 6, 2025.

UNIFI's strategic consolidation of its Madison facility operations marks a decisive move to address operational inefficiencies in a challenging textile market environment. The restructuring carries several key implications for investors:
Financial Impact: The consolidation should yield multiple benefits: 1) Improved capacity utilization across remaining facilities will enhance fixed cost absorption 2) Reduced overhead costs from operating fewer locations 3) Strengthened balance sheet through debt reduction from property sale proceeds 4) Potential working capital optimization through inventory consolidation.
Operational Efficiency: The decision to maintain production capacity while reducing physical footprint suggests:
Market Positioning: This restructuring aligns with broader industry trends where textile manufacturers are optimizing their North American operations to remain competitive against Asian imports. The commitment to maintain REPREVE® innovation and production capacity indicates UNIFI is protecting its core competitive advantage in sustainable textiles while streamlining operations.
The timing of this announcement, ahead of Q2 FY2025 earnings, suggests management is proactively addressing operational inefficiencies to improve profitability metrics. While there will be near-term transition costs, the long-term benefits to operating margins and balance sheet strength make this a strategically sound decision for the company's future positioning.
Strategic decision to enhance operating efficiency, lower fixed costs, improve profitability and further strengthen balance sheet
GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Unifi, Inc. (NYSE: UFI) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UNIFI”), leading innovator in recycled and synthetic yarn, today announced it will be transitioning yarn production out of its manufacturing facility in Madison, North Carolina, and placing the property for sale in calendar 2025. Production activities currently occurring at the Madison, North Carolina facility will be consolidated into UNIFI facilities in North and Central America.
Key Highlights:
Eddie Ingle, Chief Executive Officer of UNIFI, Inc., stated, “We are very grateful for the hard work, contributions, and support from everyone involved with the Madison facility, including the community and employees, past and present. We will work closely with our employees and community to ensure the smoothest transition possible, and we are offering existing employees available opportunities at our other facilities in North Carolina.”
Ingle continued, “The closure of this facility enables us to better align UNIFI’s manufacturing footprint with our growing customer base across North and Central America. This move, which involves relocating some machinery to other manufacturing locations, will enhance our cost structure and strengthen our balance sheet. Importantly, this transition will not impact our ability to meet the demands of the market or our strategic initiatives focused on innovation, the REPREVE® portfolio, and continuous financial improvement. We look forward to transitioning to a more robust operating profile, revitalizing our Americas businesses, and creating a more sustainable future for all our stakeholders.”
Additional details on the strategic transition will be provided during the Company’s upcoming second quarter fiscal 2025 earnings conference call that will take place on February 6, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Madison Hayes epitomizes the glue player. She quite literally does it all on both ends for the Wolfpack.
She proved as much in No. 10 NC State's narrow 76-74 win against Miami Feb. 13. The veteran guard led the team with 19 points and seven rebounds, scoring 16 second-half points with four three-pointers. Oh yeah, and she also reached 1,000 career points with a pivotal performance for the Pack.
"She's a glue player for us," Moore said. "She holds everything else together. She gets some rebounds, she hits some big threes, makes some plays on defense, does it all. Really happy for her. That's a great milestone. First half she only had [three] points and second half, she really stepped up. That's what you hope players can do on a night when maybe they struggle early. They got the confidence to come back and play a big part. She did that."
Hayes sat at 998 points in her career after the Pack's road win at then-No. 22 Florida State. To get to 1K at home, with her family in the building on her late grandfather's birthday, gave the achievement another layer of meaning.
"It's amazing," Hayes said. "I was talking to my coaches and telling them that it was my late grandfather's birthday today. Getting 14 points in Florida State, knowing that, coming back home and getting it, it was really special to me."
Once upon a time, Hayes was a sophomore averaging 2.3 points per game in her first year with the Pack. The young Chattanoogan came to Raleigh to develop under former Moccasins head coach Wes Moore, but she also learned a lot under two new mentors with the Pack: Elissa Cunane and Kayla Jones. Seeing that duo lead NC State to the cusp of a Final Four, coming up just short in the Elite Eight to UConn in double overtime at a glorified away game in Bridgeport, Connecticut was instrumental in her growth.
Hayes' time under Cunane and Jones' wing played a big role in her development as a player and leader. Learning from two of the best bigs in program history probably helped Hayes become the glass-crashing guard and stretch four defender she is today. In her second season as a starter, she built on the legacy left by Cunane and Jones on NC State's second ever Final Four berth.
"Going through with KJ and Elissa Cunane, being a part of that team was amazing," Hayes said. "I didn't play as much but I learned a lot from them. Junior and senior year, it's been great. Going to the Final Four, not a lot of people can say that. Scoring my 1,000th point, not a lot of people can say that either."
The seasoned veteran now joins Saniya Rivers and Aziaha James as members of the 1,000 points club on the Pack. That trio now finds its as the veteran leaders of the current roster, presenting an opportunity not only to build a legacy on the court but pass on their leadership to the next generation of Wolfpack players.
That passing of the torch underscores State's need to execute with March on the horizon. After narrowly beating Miami, three ACC powerhouses await the Pack on the schedule. The Pack needs all hands on deck for the gauntlet. Freshmen aren't freshmen anymore at this point in the season.
Leaders like Hayes need budding players like Zamareya Jones, Tilda Trygger and Lorena Awou to take the lessons they've learned so far and apply them on the hardwood. Having Jones on the staff as well as a graduate manager adds another veteran voice to the room to help that cause.
"Learning from KJ, she's a part of the staff now," Hayes said. "Being more vocal and being more attentive to how I play and how I work hard and showing that example for the other players, especially to the freshmen. This is new to them, but now we're this far in the season. We need everybody. Making sure that we're being vocal about that, not just me but Aziaha, Saniya. Making sure that we do our part in that."
Hayes seeks to keep gluing the Pack together in its next ranked showdown, which doubles as a rivalry game at No. 12 UNC. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. Feb. 16 in Carmichael Arena.

The clock wound down in the first quarter, but Madison Hayes was determined to beat Father Time and get to the rim. She cut along the baseline and managed to release the ball just a fraction of a second before the buzzer sounded for her first made field goal of the game.
While the layup, which cut NC State’s deficit to 8 points after a frame of action against Miami on Thursday night, seemed routine, there was a lot more behind it. Hayes, who knew she was just 3 points away from her 1,000th point of her collegiate career entering the night, hit the milestone on that basket.
Not only did she get to bask in the excitement of hitting the mark in front of a sold-out crowd inside Reynolds Coliseum during the Wolfpack’s 76-74 win over the Hurricanes, but Hayes did it on her late-grandfather’s birthday. The culmination of honoring him and being able to celebrate with 5,500 NC State fans was the ultimate moment for the Pack’s star wing.
“It was really special to me,” Hayes said with a smile postgame. “Scoring it at home, it’s just amazing. I have a great team.”
That layup, though, was the only field goal Hayes managed to hit in the first 20 minutes. She was just 1-for-5 from the field, including a trio of missed 3-point attempts, but that didn’t seem to discourage Hayes.
It might have fueled her instead.
Hayes exploded for 16 second-half points to help propel NC State past Miami, which marked the Wolfpack’s ninth straight win. Hayes hit five of her seven shots in the second half, including four of the six 3-point attempts she unloaded long-range attempts one after another in what appeared to be the old version of the Mississippi State transfer.
When Hayes arrived through the transfer portal, Hayes was a spot-up shooter known for hitting triples on a 38.5 percent clip. But her role has gradually changed. This year, she’s playing as a small forward, usually against taller players.
Although that may be the case, Hayes was back in her 2022-23 form. And it paid off as the Wolfpack needed her offense to skate past the Hurricanes.
“In the second half, she really stepped up,” NC State coach Wes Moore said postgame. “That’s what you can hope players do on a night where they struggle early. They’ve got the confidence to come back and play a big part. She did that.”
Hayes broke through the glass ceiling from 3-point distance that seemed to be on her this year. She hadn’t made more than a trio of triples in any game this season, but turned in a quartet of treys against the Hurricanes.
A majority of the Chattanooga, Tenn., native’s 3-pointers came off kick-out shots from the corner, which seemed to bring joy to Hayes both in-game and afterwards.
“I’m just fortunate enough to have teammates that will pass the ball,” Hayes said. “A lot of teams don’t have that, and I have a good group of teammates. Just taking in the confidence that Coach Moore and the team has to keep giving me the ball to shoot it.”
While Hayes, who became the Wolfpack’s third player on the current with 1,000 points as she joined senior guards Aziaha James and Saniya Rivers, appreciated her teammates, she deflected most of her own praise for them.
Moore, however, raved about his do-it-all wing after her historic night.
“What a blessing,” Moore said. “She’s a glue player for us. She holds everything else together, she gets some rebounds, she gets some big threes, makes some plays on defense — kind of does it all. I’m really happy for her, that’s a great milestone.”
Most of Hayes’ winning plays aren’t flashy. They’ve propelled NC State to multiple wins this season. But this time, it was her much-needed scoring that did the job. And she did it on one of the most special nights of her collegiate career.
