“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 Wilmore, KY

How does In-home Senior Care in Wilmore, 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 Wilmore, 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 Wilmore, 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 Wilmore, 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 Wilmore, 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 Wilmore,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 Wilmore, 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.

CNN —

Health officials are warning that people who attended the weekslong spiritual revival event at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, on February 18, may have been exposed to measles.

On Friday, the Kentucky Department for Public Health announced a confirmed case of measles in a Jessamine County resident, who had not been vaccinated against the disease. The person attended the so-called “Asbury revival” last Saturday, which took place southwest of Lexington, according to a release from the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department.

No further information about the individual was released “due to privacy concerns,” but Kentucky Department for Public Health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack encourages those who are unvaccinated to quarantine for 21 days and then get immunized.

The department said they are actively collaborating with Asbury University, Jessamine County Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the issue. CNN has reached out to Asbury University for comment.

A nonstop worship gathering at a Kentucky school echoes an old Christian tradition

For over three weeks, worshippers flew from across the country for the spontaneous event, standing in line outside of the college’s main chapel for an opportunity to take part in the singing, praying and discussion unfolding within, as CNN previously reported. The event began February 8 and ended on February 23, according to CNN affiliate WTVQ, and it hosted 50,000 to 70,000 people, CNN affiliate WKYT reported.

Measles is caused by a highly contagious respiratory virus spread through the air. The Kentucky Department of Public Health said early symptoms of measles are typical of many upper respiratory illnesses and proceed to the characteristic rash three to five days after symptom onset. It can be dangerous, especially for babies and young children, according to the CDC. About one in five unvaccinated people in the US who get measles is hospitalized, the CDC says.

The disease can be prevented with the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, according to the CDC. Two doses of the vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles.

“If you may have been exposed at Asbury University’s campus and develop any symptoms, whether previously vaccinated or unvaccinated, please isolate yourself from others and call your medical provider, urgent care, or emergency department to seek testing,” Dr. Stack said. “Please do not arrive at a health care facility without advance notice so that others will not be exposed.”

This is the third case of measles confirmed in Kentucky over the last three months. The first case was reported in December 2022 and it was linked to an outbreak in Ohio, while the second case was reported in Powell County. The cases were investigated and neither presented a public health threat, the Kentucky Department of Public Health said.

WILMORE, Ky. — A gathering of people at a small, central-Kentucky university has taken the nation and social media by storm.

What You Need To Know

Thousands of people from near and far have flocked to Asbury University in Wilmore to take part in what many have called a revival.

What started as a routine chapel session for Asbury University students has turned into a days long worship session of students, faculty and out-of-towners.

“It was a normal chapel service. There’s no other way to describe it,” said Asbury senior Alexandra Presta.

Presta attended her regularly scheduled chapel service last Wednesday. She said instead of leaving at their dismissal time, a group of students kept singing.

Now, this Thursday, Presta did not expect to see thousands of strangers braving the rain to pray and sing inside Hughes Auditorium.

“It’s been really powerful for us to not let these human divisions keep us apart and for us to continue coming together,” Presta said.

The continuous hours of prayer and reconciliation have attracted people of all ages from as near as Lexington and as far as Brazil, according to Asbury staff.

Bryce Balico is a college student in Philadelphia and drove 660 miles or nearly 10 and a half hours overnight to attend Thursday’s worship session.

“I saw it on social media the same day my friend David texted me,” Balico said.

Balico reunited with his high school friend, David who now attends Asbury University.

“We went to high school together in Pennsylvania, but my dad got a job here at the university,” David said.

The event was started by Gen Zers and has grown through the popular social media app for Gen Zers, TikTok and Instagram. Balico said he expected it to be a powerful gathering.

“We’ve been praying for revival in our city. That’s the goal of our campus ministry. When we see something like this happening here, the goal is to learn, to experience, receive from God hopefully and to see if there is anything we can take back to keep the fire going with us,” Balico said.

While Wilmore is not exactly a destination city, this isn’t the first time believers have flocked to Asbury to gather.

“In 1970 I graduated and the revival 53 years ago took place in the chapel here,” said retired preacher and Asbury alum, Bill Hart. “A guy I didn’t really know grabbed my arm and said you need to go to the chapel this morning. Something is going to happen, so there was that expectancy that was in the air.”

Hart drove nearly six and a half hours from Memphis and said his first experience was so powerful that he even gets emotional talking about it.

“When you’ve experienced it once, you want a taste again, and it’s something you can’t describe to anyone and we’re just grateful that God is doing it again and we know how needed this Nation is,” Hart said.

Asbury University staff said they have not been marketing or publicizing the event, but have a small webpage about it on their website.

While social media has fueled the event’s popularity, Presta said it’s deeper than that.

“It’s not about us, it’s not about Asbury, it’s about God and how he wants to move and he just chose this specific place with these people,” Presta said.

At the start, Hughes Auditorium was open 24/7, but it now closes at 1 a.m. and reopens the next day.

It is unknown how long people still plan on coming to Asbury University.

Wilmore is about a half hour south of Lexington.

Case of measles in Kentucky linked to large revival at Asbury University

FRANKFORT, Ky. — A measles case has been identified in Kentucky and is linked to the large, days-long Kentucky Asbury revival on the campus of Asbury University in Wilmore.

On Friday, state health officials said the Jessamine County resident, who is unvaccinated, attended the Kentucky Asbury Revival in Hughes Auditorium on Saturday, Feb. 18. Thousands of people came from all over the country, some traveling thousands of miles to attend.

Asbury University officials said Friday the university is working with Jessamine County Health Department officials to ensure all precautions are taken to mitigate any further spread.

Here's what we know.

What is measles?

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that is spread through the air. A small number of cases are capable of quickly producing epidemics in high risk, unvaccinated populations. Early symptoms of measles are typical of many upper respiratory illnesses:

What is the incubation period for measles?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says patients are considered to be contagious from four days before to four days after the rash appears. Of note, sometimes immunocompromised patients do not develop the rash.

What are health officials recommending?

“Anyone who attended the revival on Feb. 18 may have been exposed to measles,” said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health. “Attendees who are unvaccinated are encouraged to quarantine for 21 days and to seek immunization with the measles vaccine, which is safe and effective.”

If you may have been exposed at Asbury University’s campus and develop any symptoms, whether previously vaccinated or unvaccinated, isolate yourself from others and call your medical provider, urgent care, or emergency department to seek testing, he said,

“Please do not arrive at a health care facility without advance notice so that others will not be exposed,” Stack said.

How large were the assemblies at the Kentucky Asbury 2023 revival?

NBC reported that students and faculty from 22 schools in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, Tennessee, Indiana and other states have made the trek to Asbury to join in on the religious experience. Travelers from Singapore and Canada were also expected.

The service experienced its largest crowd yet Feb. 14, with over 3,000 attendees, two-thirds of which were from out of state, NBC reported. The crowd was so large the revival had to expand to four additional facilities in the college town.

How many confirmed cases are there in Kentucky?

Three cases of measles have now been confirmed in Kentucky over the last three months.

The first case was reported in December, in Christian County, and it was linked to the outbreak in Ohio.

The second case was reported in January in Powell County and there were no known exposures or connections to the outbreak in Ohio. These two previous cases were thoroughly investigated and neither presented a public health threat.

Vaccine coverage in Kentucky is lower than national average

In the United States, the first dose of the measles vaccine is routinely administered in combination with the mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) to children at age 12 months through 15 months. A second MMR dose is routinely administered at ages 4 through 6 years.

Two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles if exposed to the virus. KDPH is working with local health departments in Kentucky to promote MMR vaccination in communities with low vaccine uptake.

Recent data released by CDC indicate that MMR vaccine coverage among Kentucky kindergarteners is among the lowest in the nation and much lower than the Healthy People 2030 target of 95%.

WILMORE, Ky. (KT) – The Asbury University revival isn't stopping but the schedule is changing after Sunday, which will be the last public evening service at Hughes Auditorium, school officials said.

Public worship will continue in the afternoons through Wednesday.

Evening services after Sunday at Hughes Auditorium will be reserved only for high schoolers and young adults under 25. The last public afternoon service will be Wednesday at 2 p.m.

On Thursday the National Collegiate Day of Prayer (college and high school age only) will take place at 7:30 p.m. at Hughes Auditorium, which will be closing at midnight.

Beginning Friday, the revival will go off campus at yet-to-be determined sites, according to Asbury University President Kevin Brown.

“As part of Asbury’s intention of encouraging and commissioning others to ‘go out’ and share with others what they have experienced, evening services will be hosted at other locations and no longer held at Asbury University,” a statement on the Asbury website said. “We encourage guests to utilize these other designated facilities for worshiping and gathering. More information will be shared.”

Saturday was another big day on the Asbury University campus with a full house in Hughes Auditorium and hundreds of others outside on the lawn and in other campus venues.

Multiple college campuses have reported revival breaking out across the country.

Brown offered the following statement:

“At the completion of a regularly scheduled chapel service on February 8, 2023, at Asbury University, students lingered to pray, worship, and share. They have not stopped and, moreover, have been joined far and wide by hungry men and women across the world who desire to seek the Lord in this space. Since the first day, there have been countless expressions and demonstrations of radical humility, compassion, confession, consecration, and surrender unto the Lord. We are witnessing the Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control," he wrote.

“We continue to seek to discern the right balance between orderliness for our university students, faculty, and staff and our campus visitors—and creating space for individuals to have a life-transforming, Christ-centered encounter.

“We are also tremendously thankful for the men and women who have worked so hard and diligently to create space for this special move of God. Hosting such a significant moment comes with a cost—and the goodwill and humility of our community has been inspiring. Finally, we cannot fully express the profound gratitude we have for stewarding this outpouring in the life of our school and beyond. Ultimately, we pray that our efforts in these days point to our Savior.”

When did Asbury revival 2023 start?

It started Feb. 8 during a scheduled chapel service.

Where is Asbury revival happening?

It's happening at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky.

What religion is Asbury University?

Asbury University is a Christian liberal arts university. There isn't an official denominational emphasis, but "the institution maintains its commitment to an evangelical Wesleyan-Arminian perspective," according to the university's website.

What is a revival?

In Christianity, a revival has historically been a movement to reawaken the spiritual passion of a group, church or community. Attracting or converting new members to the religious group is also one of the main goals.

Although revivals have evolved over the years, the roots of the spiritual gathering can be traced to Anabaptism, Puritanism, Pietism and Methodism from the 16th-18th centuries.

Skeptics often view revivals as "manifestations of superstition, hysteria and social contagion," per the Lexington Herald Leader. Others view them as reactions to major social events. But for believers, revivals are renewals of a person's faith.

Is this the first revival at Asbury University?

Asbury University is no stranger to revivals.

One of the most famous revivals in campus history occurred Feb. 3, 1970. That gathering, which also began as a morning chapel service, led to 144 hours of unbroken revival, according to the university website. Like the service currently taking place nearly 100 miles south of downtown Cincinnati, the 1970 revival also attracted national and international attention.

The 1970 and 2023 gatherings aren't the only spiritual revivals in Asbury's history. Here's a timeline of all the revivals to have taken place at the Christian college.
