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.

“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 Winchester, KY

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

WINCHESTER, Ky. (FOX 56) — Halloween is a time for spooky festivities and treats, but it means much more to a Winchester family this year.

Halloween wouldn’t be complete without costumes, candy, and community fun.

For Nicole and Cameron Marcum of Winchester, it means even more. A community trunk-or-treat was held to raise money for their daughter Evelyn, who had a liver transplant last month.

“She’s recovering really well, we’re making sure her rejection medicine and levels are in the right place. Right now, she’s in isolation so she couldn’t be here. She’ll be in isolation up in Cincinnati for the next couple months until about the end of December. Then we’ll finally get to come home to Winchester and get to all be together as she continues recovering,” Nicole said.

Sweets, inflatables, food trucks, and a good cause brought out people of all ages from the community. Evelynn is going to turn one soon, so Halloween will always have a deep meaning for her.

It’s awesome. The whole community came together for my daughter. It’s just awesome, and I couldn’t ask for anything more,” Cameron said.

The skeleton key to a trunk-or-treat is plenty of space, which Winchester-Clark County Parks and Recreation was happy to provide.

“We’re so excited to have the donation for the space. That was the very first thing we had to figure out was where can we put this so we can have a large crowd and we reached out to them, and it was instantaneous. They offered us the park, and we were glad to have it here,” Nicole said.

Even though Evelyn couldn’t join in this time, the family is already looking forward to next Halloween.

“I love seeing all the kids here. I love seeing them have fun and just embracing all of this. And I, like I said, I can’t wait to bring Evelyn out next year so she can be a part of it all too,” Nicole said.

CLARK COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - The Clark County community has a chance to give their feedback on a project that could keep truck traffic out of downtown.

It’s a project that many have actually been asking to see.

In a small town where you’re sure to run into someone you know, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that 200 Winchester neighbors filled the Veterans Memorial Parkway Extension project information session Thursday night.

“The first phase of the Eastern Bypass project, I remember my dad sold the right away through our farm out on Kentucky 15, you know, over 20 years ago,” said Winchester resident Sam Williams.

Two decades later, Williams is hopeful he may finally see the project begin.

“Dad passed away a few years ago, and I get asked to this day, what are you going to build on that farm out there? Are you going to build us a place to eat? A place we can go shopping? Really, my answer is it’s hard to invest in a road to nowhere,” Williams said. “And that’s what we have on the Eastern Bypass around Winchester.”

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the main purpose of the project is to improve east-west connectivity between the main roads that radiate from the center of Winchester into the southern half of Clark County.

“Winchester is a growing town. This gives them more options for staying out of downtown if they can, especially a lot of the thru traffic that needs to get to the interstate from various locations south,” said District 7 Design Section Supervisor Joshua Samples.

Samples says the project would provide more access to I-64 and the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway.

“We’ve been working on it for a long time, it’s been on the books. But we’ve got more funding for it,” Samples said.

They are now trying to move forward with the plans once again.

Samples says it would be at least a couple of years before any construction actually begins.

Winchester family gets gracious gift from Kosair for Kids

WINCHESTER, Ky. (WKYT) - The family of a Winchester child awaiting a life-saving liver transplant will now be able to remain together, thanks to a children’s charity.

In a report we first brought you last month, a board member at Kosair for Kids saw the story and felt called to action.

Baby Evelyn was born with a rare condition in which bile ducts are blocked. She is now staying at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, awaiting a match for a liver transplant.

Her parents, Nicole and Cameron, were having to split time between southern Ohio and Winchester.

Traveling back and forth for work and while also caring for their other daughter.

At their 100th Year Celebration Gala this weekend, Kosair for Kids surprised Nicole with an announcement.

They will help cover outstanding health expenses and assist with additional medical equipment and future care.

“I feel overwhelmed with joy,” said Marcum. “If not for Kosair for Kids, I would not be feeling the love that I am, so thank you.”

Ensuring that Evelyn gets the care that she needs for the life of her treatment and recovery.

“I didn’t expect this kind of turnout,” said Nicole Marcum. “I didn’t expect this kind of generosity, this kind of kindness from people I’ve never met before. They already feel like family.”

Last year, Kosair for Kids grants and assistance touched the lives of nearly 200,000 children across all 120 Kentucky counties and southern Indiana.

“You know, at Kosair for Kids, we live to do one thing that’s to help children,” said Barry Dunn, President of Kosair for Kids. “Children just like Evelyn Marcum. As we head into our second century, we can’t think of anyone better to help than a little child who is waiting on a liver. Waiting on another chance at life and waiting for someone to step up and help.”

About 97% of all kids now have health insurance. Still, so many fall through the gap, and even insured families struggle with deductibles and other items that insurance companies refuse to cover.

“Knowing there are people who are here to help Evelyn, now and in the future and for the rest of her life,” said Marcum. “It’s brought me hope and joy. More than I can ever imagine.”

The day and the journey have been emotional for the family. But now, they know they won’t have to endure it alone.

“It’s my baby,” said Marcum. “My daughters mean everything to me. Now they mean something to somebody else and that’s wonderful.”

A fundraising Trunk or Treat is planned for Saturday, October 21, at 5:30 p.m. at College Park on Wheeler Avenue in Winchester.

There will be candy, inflatables, food and music.

Admission is a monetary donation. They’ll be accepting cash, check and credit card.

The family also got a chance to meet Ashley Schmitt. She underwent the same surgery in the early 90′s for the exact same rare condition, Biliary Atresia.

“It means the world to me because Kosair did so much for me and my sister and my family growing up,” she said. “Even when we were sick and after we got our liver transplants.”

She was a Kosair Kid and now serves as a beacon of hope for the Marcum family.

One of the year’s highlights in Winchester is just around the corner: the annual Labor Day Parade.

The parade will kick off at noon on Monday, Sept. 4, and will move along Main Street.

It will feature a host of familiar faces and marching bands.

“We always have the George Rogers Clark Marching Band. This is always about our hometown. So they always come out and put on a great show,” said Sherry Hampton, who is in charge of public relations for the Winchester Labor Day Committee. “They are a host to the other bands.”

Also returning for another year of energizing the crowds will be the Kentucky State Marching Band and the band from Simmons College of Kentucky, which is located in Louisville.

The band’s respective performances have become a crowd favorite over the years.

“I think that it is just the pep and the multicultural aspects of it. It is something that we do not see at all at the local high school rallies. Everybody enjoys the dancers and the upbeat music,” Hampton said about the marching band’s enduring appeal.

The rest of the parade roster will include the Labor Day Queen and the rest of the parade’s royal court, local pageant winners, step teams, local lodges and many more.

However, the parade is part of a larger celebration that will be held along West Washington Street and in Heritage Park.

On Friday, Sept. 1, the weekend will commence with mixing and mingling for George Rogers Clark High School alumni under the stars with music provided by DJ Sixx.

The committee hopes school spirit will be in the air beforehand on Friday.

“We are encouraging everyone to go out and support GRC football,” Hampton said.

Vendors will be in the park all weekend.

The festivities on Saturday, Sept. 2, will kick off at 2 p.m. with kid’s activities sponsored by Ale-8-One. This special time, which ends at 4 p.m., will include inflatables, games, prizes, corn hole and more music from DJ Sixx.

Cincinnati, Ohio’s Positive Vibe will perform from 4-7 p.m..

At 7 p.m., the committee invites folks to come and try and break the world record for a Soul Train dance line. The current record is 537 dancers.

From 8-11 p.m., the 1SoundBand from Lexington will perform, followed by a DJ in the park.

On Sunday, Sept. 3, the vendors open at 10 a.m., and at 2:30 p.m., there will be Gospel in the park courtesy of Rev. Virgil Hill. A performance by Encore will last from 8-11 p.m.

On Monday, before the parade, Joyful Souls will perform on the Clark County Courthouse steps and from 1:30-4p.m., the Tim Talbert Project will perform in the park.

The Labor Day Parade and the entire weekend hold a special place in the annals of Winchester’s Black community.

“We started this back in 1904, our ancestors did,” said Flora Shelby, the band’s executive director. “They did it big, they did it really big. They would go to Harmon Field and have a picnic that would last all day.”

The festivities would move to clubs along Oliver Street as the sun set.

Over time, the parade would grow to incorporate the surrounding area.

“We would march around the local streets. We did not come to Main Street,” Shelby said. “It is a traditional thing that has gotten better and bigger.”

The weekend has become a homecoming for Winchester’s Black community, and the committee wants to keep going for a long time to come.

“When our ancestors started this, it was them doing something for our own community, a multicultural community. That is what we call a true Black family reunion,” Hampton said. “Our ancestors started it and it is something that we do not want to end. Our heritage really did start just off of Washington Street.”
