“Our family can't say enough about Always Best Care and taking care of our Dad these past months. The caregivers are angels and so thoughtful and attentive to our Dad. He could be grouchy at times, and they were so patient with him. As his health degraded, the caregiver staff was rotated to accommodate his changing needs and we seemed to have just the right person for the right stage. He really bonded with several and looked forward to seeing them each day. Thank you so much for all your support we could not have done this without you.”

 In-Home Care Georgetown, KY

How does In-home Senior Care in Georgetown, KY 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 Georgetown, KY

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 Georgetown, KY, 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 Georgetown, KY 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

Attendance and aid 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 Georgetown, KY

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 Georgetown,KY 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 Georgetown, KY

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.

Blue Run Spirits has released a first look at its upcoming distillery in Georgetown, Kentucky, and the bourbon world has never seen anything like it before.

The birds-eye renderings look more like a museum or a monument than a distillery.

The young bourbon company, which launched in 2020, is most recognizable by its stunning, signature metallic butterfly on its bourbon bottles, and the renderings of the upcoming distillery are equally as catching. The highly anticipated development features a 35,000-square-foot distillery and a 20,000-square-foot rick house, and it's will break ground later this year at the Lanes Run Business Park.

More about Blue Run Spirits:This mom-to-be helped create the Best American Whiskey of 2021 without ever trying it

The company aims to update and modernize what bourbon and looks, feel and tastes like, Blue Run Spirits CEO and co-founder Mike Montgomery told The Courier Journal in an interview on Tuesday. There is a massive, worldwide audience out there for the spirit and Kentucky is at the center of it. Distillery leaders in the state have done a great job elevating bourbon to an international audience, and now, it presents the opportunity for new young companies to expand on that tradition.

"Kentucky is a shrine to Bourbon, and we want to be an additive to this great community," Montgomery said.

It's too early to release specifics on the distillery's experiences, but Montgomery says that his team is trying to strike a balance between "old favorites" and bourbon education as well as interactive opportunities for guests. His team has spent time in California's wine region as well as the Champagne region of France. The goal is to create opportunities that both bring tourists to the state and inspire them to come back again and again.

"We've drawn from the great work that the people before us and currently in the industry have put forth, but we've also looked around the world at different examples of the art of the possible," Montgomery said.

The building's design, which is called "Meander," is meant to evoke the journey of the limestone-rich water as it winds its way through the distilling, aging and blending process to becoming bourbon and rye whiskey. It was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, which is based in Copenhagen and New York City.

"For Blue Run, we have boiled the entire process of whiskey-making down to a single linear sequence — from distilling to maturing to bottling," the firm's founder and creative director, Bjarke Ingels, said in the release. "The half-mile long process meanders, through the gentle hillsides creating bends and banks, inlets, and outlooks."

The whisky company has come a long way since it launched in October 2020. For the past two-and-a-half years, Blue Run Spirits has produced bourbon by tapping into partnerships with other distilleries throughout the region. At that time, opening a distillery of its own ? amid the early COVID-19 pandemic, no less ? wasn't "even a twinkle in our eye," Montgomery said.

"This doesn't look like anything that's that's ever been built," Montgomery said. "We definitely tip our hats to the folks out there, who pushed the boundaries years ago. We grabbed that baton, and I think what we're attempting to do is advance it really far."

Blue Run Spirits has introduced 13 bourbon and rye whiskey releases since the company launched in October 2020, and in its short time on the market, it's become a highly sought-after spirit. The company sold 21,000 9-liter cases in 2022, which is a 300% year-over-year increase. Distillery operations are anticipated to bring at least 45 full-time jobs to Kentucky.

Montgomery also said he's extremely excited to bring a distillery of this scale to Georgetown and Scott County. Lexington is, essentially, where the Kentucky Bourbon Trail distillery map stops in the central part of the state, with the exception of Hartfield and Co. in Paris and Old Pogue Distillery in Maysville. He's hopeful in the future more distilleries pop up in the region and create natural pathways to one another.

"I think if you picture the (Kentucky) Bourbon Trail as a spiderweb, you want to have as many touch points as possible, really start connecting dots," Montgomery said. "So (Georgetown) is a dot that we felt was really needed, that didn't exist."

Old Georgetown Cemetery advocates hold 'productive' meeting with mayor over sign situation

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — A meeting between volunteers at the Old Georgetown Cemetery and Mayor Burney Jenkins was held yesterday to discuss an issue with a historic sign.What You Need To Know Last week, we reported that a sign made by the Scott County African American Heritage Association was taken down by the city shortly after it had been put up.“We’ve been at this for years and we never had no one ever come over here and question us about anything,” said Terry Thomas, the president o...

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — A meeting between volunteers at the Old Georgetown Cemetery and Mayor Burney Jenkins was held yesterday to discuss an issue with a historic sign.

What You Need To Know

Last week, we reported that a sign made by the Scott County African American Heritage Association was taken down by the city shortly after it had been put up.

“We’ve been at this for years and we never had no one ever come over here and question us about anything,” said Terry Thomas, the president of the Scott County African American Heritage Association.

The volunteers’ goal for the meeting was to get some answers as to why the sign was taken down in the first place.

“We had a real good talk, I thought,” said Thomas. “Things was said, some air was cleared and at the same time, people [are learning] about the history of this cemetery.”

Thomas believes that educating Georgetown residents about the history of the cemetery is an important piece to get an understanding of this situation.

“1860 is when they turned it over to the colored people, and they took the name of the Old Georgetown Cemetery… and they said they changed the name to the Colored Cemetery,” Thomas explained.

The issue with the sign seems to be that it states under the current name of the cemetery: “AKA Old Colored Cemetery.”

“All of this, what we’ve got, it comes from their history books that they wrote,” said Thomas. “It’s nothing offensive, you know, it’s just history. You can’t take away from history ‘cause you don’t like it. It’s still history.”

A resolution has not yet been reached, but there are plans for the volunteers to meet with the city council.

“The City of Georgetown’s goal is to work together with the volunteer group to pay honor and give recognition to those buried in the public cemetery,” Mayor Jenkins said in a statement.

Thomas was pleased with the meeting, but Willa Relford Gentry, also with the Scott County African American Heritage Association, expressed being unhappy with having to take this issue to the city council.

“We’re a group that’s feisty,” said Thomas. “We won’t give up. This means a whole lot to us, you know. We’re gonna stay in the fight until we get this accomplished.”

The volunteers say that they are set on keeping the sign as it is. Thomas explained that it’s important for them to keep the old name on the sign to ensure that the history of the Black people who are buried at the Old Georgetown Cemetery is not forgotten.

Since a resolution has not yet been reached, Spectrum News 1 will continue following this story and keep you up to date.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (LEX 18) — When Blue Run Spirits opens its new distillery and headquarters in Georgetown, it won’t just be bourbon connoisseurs making the trip to visit.

Designed by international architect firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), the facility has already been deemed a work of art, and it hasn’t even broken ground yet.

Titled “Meander,” the facility includes a 35,000-square-foot distillery and a 20,000-square-foot rickhouse. There's also an amphitheater in the modern and elaborate designs.

In a press release, the Blue Run Spirits team says, “The design is meant to evoke the journey of the limestone-rich water of the Royal Spring in Georgetown as it winds its way through the distilling, aging and blending process to becoming fine Blue Run bourbons and rye whiskeys.”

“When you start coming into a design like Meander with the curls and swirls and colors…distilleries like that don't come around,” said Jake Kratzenberg, COO and CFO at the Bourbon Flight.

The new distillery won’t just get the bourbon flowing. Ramifications are expected to ripple throughout the state.

“Blue Run Distillery is going to create 40+ jobs, but it’s not just the jobs, it’s the tourism,” said Kratzenberg.

The bourbon expert believes the newness of Meander alongside Kentucky staples like Buffalo Trace and Makers Mark will elevate the bourbon industry as a whole while giving some distilleries a run for their money.

“You have a lot of distilleries rooted in history,” explained Kratzenberg. “Some of the rickhouses are over 100 years old. So, you bring in a new distillery, it doesn't have the history, but it has the bourbon to back it up. A lot of new distilleries or the older distilleries will have to up their game to get more of an attraction. The Meander Blue Run Distillery is gonna be a must-see.”

Ground breaks on the facility in 2023, with a projected opening date sometime in 2025.

Leaf & Barrel Cigar and Bourbon Lounge opens in Georgetown

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — A new business has opened in Georgetown, bringing cigars, bourbon and a growing community of friends. The Leaf & Barrel Cigar and Bourbon Lounge offers a variety of premium hand-rolled cigars, bourbon selections currently numbering 30 and growing, and an atmosphere that welcomes everyone.“Community is a huge part of any cigar lounge,” said Larry Ledbetter, who owns the business with his wife, Jan Ledbetter. “We offer a place where people come together, share conversations and become...

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — A new business has opened in Georgetown, bringing cigars, bourbon and a growing community of friends. The Leaf & Barrel Cigar and Bourbon Lounge offers a variety of premium hand-rolled cigars, bourbon selections currently numbering 30 and growing, and an atmosphere that welcomes everyone.

“Community is a huge part of any cigar lounge,” said Larry Ledbetter, who owns the business with his wife, Jan Ledbetter. “We offer a place where people come together, share conversations and become friends, all while enjoying a shared passion.”

“Georgetown has a reputation for its welcoming business environment, one that nurtures growth and new experiences and, just as in the spirit of the Leaf & Barrel Cigar and Bourbon Lounge, is known for encouraging community,” said Lori Cooper Saunders, executive director at Georgetown/Scott County Tourism Commission.

The vision for the Leaf & Barrel Cigar and Bourbon Lounge took root eight years ago. Ledbetter had dreamed of a place where cigar smokers could get together and enjoy their passion and nearly purchased such a place in Hilton Head, SC. He began creating a cigar lounge from scratch when that deal fell through.

The plan was paused during the COVID pandemic, and Ledbetter began building furniture. He eventually met Charles Graves, the owner of Graves Lumber Yard, where he purchased supplies for his business.

“The Ledbetters and Charles and his wife, Joan, teamed up to form the partnership to make Leaf & Barrel Cigar and Bourbon Lounge a reality,” Ledbetter said.

The cigar lounge opened first in mid-February. The space is relaxed, open and airy, with groupings of comfortable leather sofas and oversized chairs scattered about a concrete floor and cozied with rugs. Flatscreen TVs hang from the walls and the bourbon bar, which opened at the end of March, anchors the space.

The brands in Leaf & Barrel’s humidor are constantly growing. In addition to well-known brands like Fuente and Oliva, the cigar bar carries many boutique brands, which produce less than a million cigars annually.

Membership is not a requirement to smoke in the Leaf & Barrel’s lounge, although membership is offered for one of the 48 humidified lockers for storing cigars. Members also receive discounts, including 10 percent off cigars daily and 15 percent off boxes, plus a $200 humidor credit. This allows patrons to get the cigars to fill their lockers.

The lounge offers live music on weekends and events like Flight Nights and “Cut and Light” nights with product experts. “There are no strangers in a cigar lounge,” said Ledbetter. You will find a warm welcome every time.” Find events on Leaf & Barrel’s Facebook page. For more information, call 502-642-8044.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Volunteers at the Old Georgetown Cemetery are at odds with the city’s mayor, Burney Jenkins. Those with the cemetery purchased a sign and hung it up at the entrance, however the city had it taken down.

What You Need To Know

Willa Relford Gentry has been conducting research for cemeteries across Scott and Fayette counties for over 30 years. She is also an Army veteran, so two years ago when Gentry saw headstones of those from the U.S. Colored Troops and 9th and 10th Calvary at the Old Georgetown Cemetery, it upset her that their history was not known.

“That bothers me,” said Gentry. “That needs to be documented. Those men fought for their freedom and they need to be recognized that they’re here.”

For the past two years, she has taken part in researching information about those who are buried there. The cemetery is estimated to have about 2,400 graves. New headstones have also been ordered and put up to replace damaged ones.

“Their voices need to be heard, and as long as I live, they will be heard,” said Gentry.

Gentry, along with other members of the Scott County African American Heritage Association, created a sign to be hung by the entrance, but it was ultimately taken down by the city.

“When I pulled up right there, J.R. called me on the phone and said that somebody from the city told him that the mayor told him to take the sign down and bring to it to his office,” said Gentry.

This has left those involved with the cemetery confused and wanting answers why the sign was taken down.

“We don’t know and until we find out, you know, we’re gonna be over here, we’re gonna be in the media, we’re gonna be in the news,” said Terry Thomas, the president of the Scott County African American Heritage Association. “Whatever it takes for us to get this project completed.”

“The signage was removed because the City was not consulted regarding the sign’s placement, the narrative on the sign, etc.,” said Mayor Jenkins in a statement. “The City of Georgetown has no opposition to this initiative; as the party ultimately responsible for the maintenance of this public cemetery, we simply need to be involved in the process. We look forward to working with interested members of the community to develop a sign that honors the historic Old Georgetown Cemetery and have already scheduled meetings to discuss this effort in greater detail.”

A meeting between members of the Scott County African American Heritage Association and the city is scheduled for Wednesday, June 28.

“The answer to developing a new sign is you can’t show me what’s wrong with that sign,” said Gentry. “Everything that’s on that sign is historical. Everything that’s on that sign is documented so what is the problem?”

The Old Georgetown Cemetery was previously called the Old Colored Cemetery, as stated on the sign, until a few years ago.

The owner of the cemetery is unknown, according to court documents.
