Home Care In Lexington, KY

Home Care Lexington, KY

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 Waveland State Historic Site 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 Lexington, KY is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

TESTIMONIALS

“Always Best Care is truly a wonderful agency. My brother and I did research on an in-home caregiver and ABC was one of three that we chose to interview. Always Best Care surpassed by far any of the other agencies. They maintain consistent contact with me (her daughter), post after each visit so that I can see what was done, either answer or return calls promptly. Caregiver Amanda is an angel. She goes far beyond simple care. As my mother says, "She babies me," which is exactly what my mother needs. I cannot say enough good things about this agency and Amanda. Everything has exceeded my expectations and I am grateful that we chose them.”

“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!”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Lexington, KY?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Lexington, KY
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse - Lexington or visit The Loudoun 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.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in 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.

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.

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your KY's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Lexington, KY

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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Lexington, KY

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Lexington, KY

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:

  • Morning Pointe of Lexington-East Senior Living
  • Morning Pointe of Lexington
  • Magnolia Springs Lexington
  • Meadowthorpe Assisted Living and Memory Care
  • Preston Greens Senior Living
  • Highgrove at Tates Creek
Home Care Lexington, KY

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.

An ‘act relating to swimming pools’ morphs into bill blocking KY cities’ Airbnb regulations

A bill once focused on removing regulation around at-home swimming pools was changed to block Lexington and other cities from putting density regulations on short-term rentals made popular by websites such as Airbnb and Vrbo.

Senate Bill 61, originally a bill loosening regulations on home swimming pools, was amended by House Speaker David Osborne, R-Prospect, late Wednesday to restricts cities’ abilities to regulate short-term rentals.

Other bills had been filed that limit local governments’ ability to regulate short-term rentals but those bills were not heard in a legislative committee during the 30-day session. Friday is the last day for legislation to pass prior to the veto period.

The new SB 61 would prohibit a city from including density restrictions including:

The bill would also require local governments to approve an application within 30 days and also says a local government can’t deny a request for a short-term rental unless there is a demonstrated public safety, health and welfare issue.

Lexington, Louisville and Covington have enacted density restrictions on the number of short-term rentals such as Airbnb and Vrbo in neighborhoods after many residents saw their neighborhoods over-run by short-term rentals.

Lexington recently changed its ordinance to allow the Board of Adjustment, which grants conditional use permits for unhosted short-term rentals, to deny a permit if the short-term rental is within 600 feet of another rental or if more than 2% of homes in 1,000 feet are short-term rentals.

If SB 61 passes, those restrictions would be immediately voided, according to the amendment.

Susan Straub, a spokeswoman for Lexington, said the city did not have a comment.

Walt Gaffield, president of the Fayette County Neighborhood Council, said the amendment was an attempt to circumvent public scrutiny.

“An amendment to a swimming pool bill to establish a state mandate over short-term rental regulation with no committee hearings is government in the dark and is unacceptable,” Gaffield said. “The amendment would eliminate all meaningful changes to the original short term rental ordinance and would suggest that the state legislature does not support local governments.”

Covington Mayor Ron Washington said local decisions are best made by locally-elected leaders. Covington spent four years tweaking and changing its short-term rental ordinance that it felt protected property rights and neighborhoods, he said.

“Our intent — and we believe we succeeded — was to retain property owners’ ability to create businesses and make money while also preserving the residential character of our neighborhoods, safeguarding the availability of housing here, and protecting our residents from the negative effects of bad actors who are using these rentals for parties,” Washington said.

Louisville also has density restrictions on the number of Airbnb and Vrbos allowed in a neighborhood.

Similar bills curtailing local governments’ ability to regulate short-term rentals were proposed in 2024 but did not pass.

Airbnb is in a legal battle with many Kentucky cities and local tourism boards over remittance of local hotel taxes to local governments and tourism boards, which are the main beneficiaries of local hotel taxes.

The Kentucky League of Cities and the Kentucky Travel Industry Association sued Airbnb over its failure to remit those taxes in December 2023.

That lawsuit is still pending.

Airbnb has agreements with some cities including Lexington, Louisville and Bowling Green. Airbnb is paying local taxes to those cities. Airbnb has argued remitting those taxes to so many cities and counties is too onerous.

However, some state legislators pointed out during an October Kentucky legislative hearing that Vrbo, a primary competitor of Airbnb, pays all of its local hotel taxes.

Op-Ed

Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is refined. Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelt from ore. Man puts an end to darkness and searches every recess for ore in the darkness and the shadow of death…He overturns the mountains at the roots. He cuts out channels in the rocks. And his eye sees every precious thing. He dams up the streams from trickling; what is hidden he brings forth to light. But where can wisdom be found. (Job 28: 1-3,9-12 NKJV)

These words were written approximately 1,500 years before the birth of Christ. But they may be more relevant today than ever. Overturning the mountains is now much easier and dams are more prevalent, which makes the need for wisdom ever more crucial.

Sadly, wisdom cannot be found in the majority within the hallowed halls of the Kentucky Statehouse. Senate Bill 89 which promises to ease regulations only on non-navigable waterways in Kentucky shows an outright lack of common sense.

Senator Scott Madon of Pineville attempted to assuage any fears by saying that it affects only “places that are not really waters but rather are just wet when it rains — are no longer subject to federal permitting. This decision was huge,” he emphasizes by repetition “was a huge win for industries and the private landowners.”

Ask any middle school student if pollution from the ground can affect the creeks and rivers and they can point to a picture of the water cycle on the wall of their science class that shows that “run-off water” is a big part of what ends up in our navigable waterways.

Check out the plastic bags, bottle, and diapers hanging from the branches along rural creeks after the waters recede from a normal spring high water event and then decide how much free rein you want to give the private land-owner.

Ask the people who live in Love Canal if they think it is important to let industry decide what they do on their land. Here is what the headline read in the NYTimes on Aug. 1, 1978:

“NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.—Twenty-five years after the Hooker Chemical Company stopped using the Love Canal here as an industrial dump, 82 different compounds, 11 of them suspected carcinogens, have been percolating upward through the soil, their drum containers rotting and leaching their contents into the backyards and basements of 100 homes and a public school built on the banks of the canal.”

It is mind-boggling that 30 out of 39 of our Kentucky senators and 69 of our 95 representatives approved this legislation that might provide short term gains for a few but could destroy life-sustaining waterways for decades or centuries to come.

Where is wisdom?
