“I was looking for 24 hr home care for my mother who was living alone after my Dad's passing. My mother also had Dementia. ABC was recommended by her PCP. I was immediately impressed with my 1st meeting with their Senior Program Coordinator. She took detailed notes about the daily routine. My mind was set at ease when she explained their COVID protocols which included wiping down surfaces, mask requirements and unannounced periodic supervisor check-ins on caregivers. Daily each caregiver maintained meticulous documentation on my mother's daily routines - when she got up - what she ate. They also handled mail sorting and other sensitive confidential information. I was particularly impressed with the professional and caring demeanor of the caregivers. Shift changes overlapped allowing caregivers time to share pertinent information and there was often training from senior caregivers to junior team members about handling transfers and safety. ABC is a first class well run home care providing company.”

“When my father fell and broke his arm, we needed help quickly as my mother has Alzheimers. We meet with Bruce on Monday and by Wednesday, we had caregivers in the home 7/24. I've been a recruiter for 22 years and I know that finding good people is hard work. ABC has some fantastic employees and they have been a welcome addition to the home during this transition to Assisted Living. Bruce and his team answered our call day and night and responded quickly and professionally. There are always bumps when you are starting a new project, but it's how you handle them that is important. I have the utmost respect for Bruce and his team and I recommend them if you need care for a family member.”

“So I have known Bruce Meyer for quite some time now. He came at a time where I was struggling to find a job. God sure does work in amazing ways. He was the reason I said yes to the job. It wasn’t just another interview where they just hired anybody. It was a place where I could feel comfortable and not nervous and leave the “interview” knowing I had found a wonderful place to work for. I’ll never forget that day when I agreed to take it because of the words he spoke to me. He said “God is calling you to walk through the doors. “ That alone will tell you how wonderful he is and the care that he gives to those he believes is a good fit for the job. I have been working for Always Best Care since September of 2020. Ever since I started I knew I was in the right hands with the best company I could have ever asked for. They go above and beyond to give exceptional care/ support to the clients, families, and staff.I have heard nothing but positive feedback from anyone I come In contact to that receive their services. I am truly blessed to call this not only my job but my family.”

 In-Home Care Mauldin, SC

How does In-home Senior Care in Mauldin, SC 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 Mauldin, SC

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 Mauldin, SC, 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 Mauldin, SC 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 Mauldin, SC

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 Mauldin,SC 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 Mauldin, SC

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.

MAULDIN, S.C. (WSPA) – The city of Mauldin is working with builders on a mixed-use development to create new townhomes, dining, entertainment, and extended access on the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Driving near Jenkins Street, the area is cleared out, making room for new growth.

“What you’re seeing today was our old public works facility that we will be putting about 40 to 42 townhomes on. And then behind me, Drew Parker is developing what we are calling the Pickle Yard,” said Mayor Terry Merritt.

Merritt has been a longtime resident of the city.

“I’ve been here all my life,” said Merritt. “It’s a good, safe community with recreation, everything we need right in our core.”

On Friday, he showed 7NEWS around the site of the now-demolished public works facility that is home of two new developments.

“We’re putting in four indoor pickleball courts, four pocket restaurants, outdoor entertainment amenities. We will underground the storm water runoff and we’ll put a parking lot on top of it,” said Merritt.

The Parker Group is working with the city to redevelop a 20,000-square-foot industrial warehouse into the future Pickle Yard. It will feature six pickleball courts, restaurants with outdoor seating, a stage for live performances, fire pits, and a beer garden.

The city said it also plans to expand access in that area to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

“If you study and see the demographics of the demand, we didn’t have it. So it’s exciting for the last ten or twelve years that the councils have seen the vision and know that we’ve got to have a place for the young ones coming,” said Merritt.

Right next door, Longbranch Development is in the beginning phases of constructing more than 40 townhomes. It’s an effort, the city said, to accommodate the area’s growth.

“An old quote from one of our old city administrators: ‘We are a bona fide city and we are growing, and we’re excited about it,'” Merritt added with a smile.

Located on a portion of 6.5 acres of land at the corner of Jenkins Street and Jenkins Court, the city said the Maverick Yards projects kicks off the long-awaited City Center Village.

It’s a part of the city’s goal to create a livable, walkable downtown.

Both the Parker Group’s Pickle Yard project and Longbranch’s new living complex are expected to be complete by the end of 2024.

Mayor Merritt added that Maverick Yards will be a great compliment to the recently completed Maverick Station and BridgeWay Station, which is expected to open its first phase this fall.

Work continues on plans for new sports stadium in Mauldin

MAULDIN, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - The idea of building a new multi-purpose sports stadium in Mauldin continues.

It’s been nearly a year and a half since the proposal was initially set back by the Greenville County Finance Committee.

“This stadium would be a complete game changer for the upper part of South Carolina,” said Mauldin Mayor Terry Merritt.

Plans for the stadium, which would hold between 8,000-10,000 people and host around 150 events a year, including Triumph and Liberty soccer games, were introduced in early 2022. The price tag is $38.6 million.

“This is a complicated project because it’s got five different entities involved and bringing them up to speed and knowing what the players want and what could be,” said Merritt.

In 2022, Greenville County Council Finance Committee voted against letting the county administrator negotiate on the project. The new county council later voted to authorize those discussions.

But Chair of the Finance Committee Butch Kirven says there are no active discussions about the stadium by the county council.

“We agree it would be a very nice project, a wonderful project, a regional project, good for Mauldin. The location is good, a lot of development going on over there. But something would have to change,” he said.

Some funding is falling into place. In the state budget, $4 million would be sent to Mauldin for the stadium.

“We have the involvement of the state, and then we’ll take that and continue trying to run with it and explain it to our county council, which has their plate extremely full right now,” said Merritt.

Kirven says while the county isn’t in a place to put money into the project right now, it could help in other ways.

“We’re certainly always willing to listen and discuss those and see if they make sense for the county,” he said.

“We’re ready. City of Mauldin is ready. Just tell us,” added Merritt.

The money from the state budget is pending Gov. McMaster’s signature.

Merritt says having the county involved in the project as it is proposed is “critical”.

MAULDIN, S.C. —

A new town center in Mauldin is getting closer to completion. Bridgeway Station is already fully leased out to shops and restaurants like Stellas, Table 301, and Old Europe Desserts.

The more than $150 million project broke ground almost two years ago, and short of a moat, is one of the biggest and most unique projects to be built in the area.

"It probably does look like a castle," said developer Phil Hughes of project people can spot from Highway 385, near Bridges Road. "We love that people love it from the highway, but wait until you come in."

A taste of Italy right here in Mauldin, Bridgeway Station will be a mixed-used development featuring local restaurants, breweries, shops, and apartments, as well as offices and hotels. All of these businesses soon be just off the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

The walkable town center invites visitors to eat, drink, and shop indoors and out. Hughes says there will be live entertainment and events throughout the year.

"No one likes to walk into a big box with no windows," Hughes said. "There's more to life than just doing that, and we want to have people having fun outside as much as it is inside."

Hughes said the project has many Italian and Greenville inspirations, down to the smallest details. If the space feels somehow familiar, there's a reason for that. Certain aspects were inspired by local buildings, like Furman Tower, the Old Greenville City Hall, and Southern Depot Station Tower.

"It's really, hopefully, the magic size so that it feels you are somewhere different, but it's close by and easy, and wonderful, where you want to come back," he said. "And that's something that doesn't exist in the suburbs right now."

Many of those authentic touches, down the bricks and tiling, were imported from Italy. You can imagine the inflation and supply chain issues they faced, Hughes said.

He continued, "It's been a struggle in many ways. And almost every subcontractor, contractor has faced these supply chain issues. It has not gone away. We keep hoping it will, we keep hoping prices will be more reasonable, and it is a different world.”

Hughes said those supply chain issues meant their grand opening will be later than expected, most likely in less than two years. In the meantime, the work continues.

"We have people moving in literally in a matter of days. And they're kind enough to understand there's still a great deal of other construction going on. We're just in the process of turning over some of our retail restaurants and shops to some of our spaces on the ground floor. It will take them several months to finish up their space," Hughes said.

Mauldin Mayor Terry Merritt said Maverick Yards is a major step forward in fulfilling the vision of Mauldin's City Center.

“I’m thrilled to see Maverick Yards moving forward and to know we’re one step closer to creating a true downtown area for the Mauldin community,” Merritt said. “This is an exciting development for the City that marks a key step in our transformation from a crossroad community to a destination.”

MAULDIN, S.C. —

The Swamp Rabbit Trail will soon be getting a bit longer.

A bridge connecting the city of Mauldin to a new town center will soon be open to the public.

"The pedestrian bridge we are talking about today is exciting because it's something that has allowed Mauldin to answer a question that people have been asking for years, how do you get the Swamp Rabbit Trail across 385 and that's what this pedestrian bridge does," councilman Taft Matney said.

The bridge adds another quarter mile to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, but in Matney's eyes, the addition opens the door for people to experience what the city of Mauldin has to offer. This includes places like BridgeWay Station and Maverick Yards.

"With our access to rail, our access to 85 to 385, it's very attractive for businesses to locate, but it's also attractive for families to live here. We want to make sure we provide dining, shopping, entertainment options that will keep bringing people to Mauldin for years to come," Matney said.

Joel Ann Chandler has owned her business along East Butler Road for 40 years. It's less than a 10-minute bike ride away from the new bridge.

"Anytime you have new people coming into the area, this is one of the first places they come to. Of course, now they can come across the new bridge, come visit us, come visit Mauldin, and see everything there is to see here," Chandler said.

For many others, the possibilities this new bridge will bring has them excited.

"It not only attracts us high schoolers to go to that part and explore but for people who want to move into South Carolina, it's a really good opportunity," Mauldin High School student Junior Lopez said.

"I mean, we are just excited to connect to the swamp rabbit trail and be able to get out more and take the kids out biking, get out walking, running, doing things like that more," Karen Olson said.

People will have until Sept. 5. to submit a potential name for the new bridge. To submit a name, click here.

A projected date for the bridge to open is sometime in the fall.
