TESTIMONIALS

“I cannot say enough good things about Always Best Care and the service they provide to my disabled father. They have worked hand-in-glove with the VA for my father’s care. Everyone - and I do mean everyone - from ownership down to the daily aides who provide direct care to my father, have shown him the kindness and dignity you would hope to receive from a family member. Any issues we have ever had have been addressed promptly, even during weekends. Sarah and her team are hands on - I doubt many owners of similar companies make house visits like Sarah has. Any new aide who has been provided for my father has had personal introduction by a member of management, and we have had management team members step up to the plate when there have been scheduling issues to ensure my father received the daily assistance he needs. I recommend ABC highly and can’t thank them enough for all that they do. 5 Stars across the board!”

I go to work everyday with a smile on my face and I’m content about what I am doing and know that our clients will be receiving 100%, the best possible care. If I had a family member who needed a personal care giver (or in search for a job) I would definitely recommend “ABC” to them. 10/10.”

“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 Lexington, KY

How does In-home Senior Care in Lexington, 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 Lexington, 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 Lexington, 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 Lexington, 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

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 Lexington, 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 Lexington,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 Lexington, 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.

Kentucky-East Tennessee State Postgame Press Conference Clive M. Beck Center Nov. 7, 2023

Head Coach Kyra Elzy

On the difference between finishing games this season vs. last season… “You know, I was just proud of this team with their resiliency. We got down, but we kept talking in the huddle, [we] kept fighting defensively — even when we were making mistakes but the proudest thing for me, when our shots weren’t going in … we hung in defensively until we could get it back going. So, I was proud of their resiliency and their fight.”

On your message to the team at halftime to rally them… “We started with our offense. You know, those shots were gonna go in. We had some good looks. We had to move the ball — we had to get more movement. We were settling for ‘one pass’ [and] quick shots, so we needed to get some movement. They were changing up [defenses] man and zone, so getting into our offense quicker, and making sure we were penetrating the gaps by playing downhill [off screens]. But the biggest thing is… I said guys we have to quick fouling, so we can get out and run. You have to either get a defensive stop or quick fouling so we can get the tempo that we wanted to get. I thought it was slower than we wanted it in the first half.”

On getting beat backdoor on defense… “Well, I thought we were playing overly aggressive, which, you want that. But with this team, obviously, they have some three-point shooters so you’re spreading us out on the backside. [We] didn’t get the help as quick as we needed to. We’re worried about shooters on the backside. I thought we got some early fouls — playing aggressive on the ball — I want to pressure the ball which we need to do. We gotta adjust to how they’re calling the game. [We] got too many fouls which put them [ETSU] on the free throw line, so we were aggressive, which we need — but now we’ve got to play aggressive and smart.

On what you liked from Amiya Jenkins tonight… “Well, five players in double figures, which I’m very proud of. That means we’re sharing the ball and have a balanced attack. But I thought Mimi [Amiya] Jenkins came up big for us today. Her ability to drive to the rim and finish with contact. I thought when we didn’t have anything going, her finishing around the rim was huge for us but also her defense. She’s able to guard the 1 through the 4 — which helps us. So, when we went small, I thought she made some big plays for us defensively.”

On the advantages of a hard-fought game … “I would love to enjoy some breathing room but, they tested us early. ETSU is a very good basketball team. They won 25 games last year and were picked to win their conference this year. Putting us in pressure situations as we’re starting Brooklyn Miles, Eniya [Russell], and even [Ajae] Petty playing minutes and not just playing them we are asking them to produce which they didn’t have to do a year ago besides Maddie [Scherr]. So a lot of people playing new roles. So getting tested early definitely helped us.”

On why ETSU’s guard made the game so difficult… “Her ability to score and read out of the ball screen. I thought she played downhill out of the ball screen, but if we didn’t play it right she could step back and hit it. Our ball screen defense was not the best today, and we have to work on that. But what we did do was adjust. One-on-one, I just said build a wall and make someone score over you more than around you. So we got enough stops to win today.”

On how they have improved on committing fewer turnovers since the exhibition game … “That is a victory for us. Out of all the things I said in the locker room, when I said seven turnovers they started screaming because we have been harping on that. We have talked about not making the home run plays and just making the easy pass. Make the pass, short the pass, no home run plays, and we did that today so taking care of the ball is huge for us in order to play how we want to play.”

On if Emma King is ok … “Yes, Emma King is good. She got hit in the eye but she is good.”

On the atmosphere of this home away from home … “I thought the atmosphere was amazing. Big Blue Nation fans thank you for coming out. Great atmosphere today, loved playing here. We told the players any gym is home so right now we have three homes, Transy, Georgetown, and Rupp Arena. So we will enjoy all of them and it’s been a different experience trying to get into routines today but our players are business as usual.”

Player Quotes

#22, Maddie Scherr, G, Sr.

On what was holding the team back in the first half and how it improved in the second half… “Sometimes shots don’t fall and sometimes you’re not locked in enough on defense, plays can go wrong, but I think at halftime it was important for us to come together and just know we’re not going to get down about this and we’re going to come back out. We were down by nine at some point in the second half and being able to stay composed, come back and win is super encouraging for this team.”

On only committing seven turnovers… “That’s huge. Taking care of the ball every possession matters, especially in a game like that. One more turnover could’ve cost us the game so I think that’s huge. Especially younger players not committing turnovers in high pressure situations is great.”

On comparison to last season’s team leading games but then struggling to win… “It’s a whole new team so sometimes it just ends up different, like I said earlier in the radio it’s super encouraging to be on this side of the dogfight and that’s not the last one we’re going to be in. I think it’s a good lesson to know that we are going to be in situations like that and also against bigger, tougher opponents and we’ve got to be able to pull them out.”

#20, Amiya Jenkins, G, So.

On your experience during the end of a successful third-quarter sequence… “I don’t know. I just was so focused on the game. I was like, ‘we need to score’. So, I just went in and tried to do what was best for my team to get us where we need to be.”

On how big seven turnovers was and how it was a victory in itself… “Also, not having any in the second half really kept our flow going.”

Kentucky Preparing to Face Another Elite Opponent

Many times in athletics, a team only gets one chance to make a big impression. A few weeks back, Kentucky found itself nationally ranked and with a big opportunity, facing top-ranked Georgia in Athens. But the Cats struggled in that contest and came up short.

Now, the Cats find themselves in position, once again, to take on one of the nation’s best teams as No. 8 Alabama comes to Kroger Field on Saturday. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen noticed a different tone in Kentucky’s practice on Tuesday.

“I do. I think that the way the guys came out today was (with) a great mindset and mentality in practice,” Coen said. “There was no lollygagging, the energy was high. It was pretty crisp in a lot of ways. I think the guys do feel that way. I think there’s a sense that we want to prove and show that we can execute better than we did against an elite defense like Georgia.”

UK Quarterback Devin Leary agreed with Coen.

“I think it’s another opportunity for us to get better, for us to go against a really good, executing, sound defense,” Leary said. “For us, it’s about doing what we’re supposed to do.”

Wide receiver Tayvion Robinson knows how important this week of practice will be leading up to Saturday’s game.

“It’s another opportunity to get out there and play against a really good team, a really good defense,” Robinson said. “This week of preparation is really important.”

What the Cats learned against Georgia will be important for UK to remember this week, according to Leary.

“We learned against Georgia that beating yourselves and having to play catch up in games like this just makes it that much more difficult,” Leary said. “So, for us, being able to take that off the film and carry it over into this week is going to prepare us even more.”

Coen knows that playing a Nick Saban-coached defense will be a challenge for him as a play caller.

“It’s definitely a challenge because you don’t know how many times you can go to the well on something throughout the game,” Coen said. “You have to run the same type of plays that you want to run each week but maybe out of different formations to give them a different look. They have very smart football players and obviously very well coached.”

As for coaching against a Saban-type team, Coen looks at an SEC East rival that is very comparable.

“You look at, coaching against Georgia and Kirby Smart,” Coen said. “Very similar structure but it’s the way that they play. They strain, they shed blocks, they play the game in a way that you respect. There’s a tremendous respect level that I have for him (Saban) and their staff.”

The Cats are getting their second chance to face an elite team this week. Learning from the Georgia game could be key to playing better this weekend against Alabama.

Lexington Planning Commission talks to the public about zoning changes

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Lexington’s land and development boundaries are expanding amid concerns from the community about that process.

What You Need To Know

The city’s planning commission is partnering with the Coalition for a Livable Lexington, Fayette Alliance and a handful of other organizations for an open session with the community about that information.

Back in October, city leaders moved forward with a permanent map of its new urban service boundary area for its “Imagine Lexington” plans.

Now, focus is on a new zoning ordinance text amendment, which is a proposal to incorporate residential and commercial development.

“What we’re trying to do is answer any questions/concerns that people might have about the language itself. How is this going to impact my community? How is this going to impact the future growth of Lexington?” Senior Planner Hal Baillie explained.

All of these changes can be complicated, and it’s why they are sitting down with people to explain, answer questions and express the significance of the changes.

“We’re looking at this text as it is focused on how we are going to grow. Is it going to be the 1980s, 70s style of development or is it going to be the new future developments that are sustainable from an environmental, social and financial perspective?” Baillie said.

Lexington’s city council is tasked with examining the comprehensive plan every five years. This time expansion is in the works.

The planning office helps complete council recommendations and recently decided on the acreage that would be added which was close to the minimal range of around 2,800 acres of land that will extend the current urban service area.

Fayette Alliance and others who questioned the council’s process and research for land expansion say the new map is reasonable. A new zoning ordinance text amendment would consider development around the people and the environment.

“That can pave the way for higher density more affordable housing you know it’s got affordable, housing special density bonuses in it and it’s just a way to change our zoning ordinance to enable the type of development that we hope to see in our community,” said Brittany Roethemeier, executive director of Fayette Alliance.

They say the collective process for the city’s decision to expand needs data-driven research and analysis behind the move and hope to keep the public engaged.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Election Day is less than a week away, but voters don’t have to wait to have their voice heard. Thursday, early voting began in Kentucky and will continue Friday and Saturday.

What You Need To Know

With early voting officially underway in the Commonwealth, voters in Lexington have four places to cast their ballot before Tuesday, Nov. 7. Lexington residents can early vote, regardless of precinct at three Lexington Public Library locations and the Lexington Senior Center.

Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky., made a non-partisan stop in Lexington Thursday to celebrate the first gubernatorial election with three days, no excuse early voting period.

“Regardless of who you’re going to vote for, get out and vote and vote early,” Beshear said.

At the polls, one of many early voters on the first day was Skip Rafferty. Rafferty said since its inception in Kentucky, he prefers to go early.

“I like taking advantage of it, I’m retired and I don’t have the bounds of being at work, so it works out well for me,” Rafferty said.

It’s still a new process for Kentuckians, as it was adopted in 2020 and signed into law by Gov. Beshear in 2021.

“On election day, on Tuesdays I am a leader in Bible Study fellowship and we have leaders meetings so I have more time on this Thursday than I will next Tuesday,” said Elizabeth Gardner, a Lexington voter at the Lexington Public Library Eastside branch.

Gardner said she has spread the word to her friends and family that they don’t have to wait to cast a vote.

“In fact, I was kind of shocked when I got here that there was hardly any parking place because anybody I told about it didn’t know about it,” Gardner said.

Fayette County Clerk Susan Lamb said around 3,500 cast a ballot Thursday. Even more voted absentee or mail in. Lamb was joined by Gov. Beshear and Lexington leaders to mark the first day of early voting in Lexington and Kentucky.

“Our absentee ballot requests this year was 6,643 and do you know that was 2,000 more than the last gubernatorial election in 2019,” Lamb said.

Lamb also noted Fayette County is one of the best counties for voter turnout.

On a chilly, November day, Rafferty said there is nothing more American than voting in an election.

“Whether you’re in the majority or minority, you just really need to do it. It’s what being a citizen of this country is all about, in my opinion,” Rafferty said.

Polls open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Voters in Lexington, regardless of voting precinct, can vote at Lexington Public Library’s Eastside, Northside and Tates Creek branches and the Lexington Senior Center.

Warm temperatures experienced across Central Kentucky Wednesday will likely break records for the month of November, the National Weather Service in Louisville projects.

The agency expects temperature highs across the region to reach above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but it also said the warm spell isn’t likely to stick around for long. That’s because a cold front is expected to move in and bring showers to the region between Wednesday night and Friday, pulling temperatures down into the 50s by the start of the weekend.

In Lexington, the NWS forecast calls for a high near 80 Wednesday, followed by significantly cooler temperatures and a growing chance of rain. By Friday night, the temperature low could be close to freezing.

Still, the area may see temperatures rise again given the ongoing influence of a strong El Niño, which is driving above-normal temperatures in Central Kentucky.

El Niño is a phenomenon that begins in the central and eastern tropical portions of the Pacific Ocean when its surface warms. This process weakens or even reverses the trade winds that normally blow west along the equator, pushing warmer water from the Pacific closer to North America.

The warming of Earth’s largest ocean has complicated and worldwide implications on weather. In the U.S., El Niño’s impact on the jet stream, a large river of air that encircles the globe, generally means cooler, wetter temperatures across the Sun Belt and warmer, drier conditions in the northern half of the country.

So what does this mean for weather in Kentucky this fall and winter?

For the next few weeks, the latest available outlooks from the nation’s Climate Prediction Center point to an increased chance in above-normal temperatures for much of Kentucky, though the picture is more mixed when it comes to above-normal precipitation.

Looking at the CPC’s outlook for November to January, Kentucky is leaning toward above-normal temperatures. For precipitation, the odds are more mixed, with equal chances of either above- or below-normal precipitation.
