Home Care In Prospect, KY

Home Care Prospect, 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 James Trigg House 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 Prospect, KY is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

TESTIMONIALS

“I discussed my husband's balance problem with several senior care agencies and the agency I was most impressed with was Always Best Care. The people they have working for them are kind and considerate. They go the extra mile to help their client remain mentally alert and physically independent. They give their client just enough help so that the client feels safe and secure but not helpless. My husband had to go to Forest Spring's Health Campus because of a fall he had at home. Because of his injury, he needed 24/7 care. I called Dan Chitwood and within an hour he had his employees helping my husband. My husband has made a complete recovery from the injury but he still needs help with a balance issue. A physical therapist comes to his home and Dan's employee helps him work on the physical therapy exercises recommended for him. My husband and I have been married for 57 years and with Dan Chitwood's employees help, who knows maybe we will make it another 57 years.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Prospect, 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 Prospect, 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 The Blackstone Grille or visit Prospect Hill, 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.

 In-Home Care Prospect, KY

Benefits of Home Care in Prospect, KY

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

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 Prospect, 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.

 Elderly Care Prospect, KY

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 Prospect, 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 Prospect, 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 Prospect, 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 Prospect, 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:

  • StoryPoint Prospect
  • Hallmark House
  • Rivers Edge Nursing & Rehabilitation Center
  • Alee Solutions
  • The Grand Senior Living
  • Home Matters
Home Care Prospect, 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.

Christian Collins, the nation’s No. 3-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, has scheduled a visit to Kentucky. Collins will take an official visit to UK on October 12, he told KSR+.

The 6-foot-8, 200-pound power forward from St. John Bosco (Playa Del Rey, CA) will take his first official visit to USC on August 30. Collins sat down with KSR+ for an interview, sharing his thoughts on Kentucky.

“[Jason Hart] just got off the phone with me earlier,” Collins said. “He’s been saying to play hard with a high motor, like I’ve been playing.”

‘Mark Pope is Like a Proud Dad’

Christian Collins was coached by Kentucky head coach Mark Pope during the recent USA Basketball trials in Colorado Springs. His relationship with Jason Hart spans back to his freshman year.

“[Mark Pope] is like a proud dad,” Collins said. “He’ll be recording you and he’s cheering for you. He’s a really good guy. He has nice energy. He’s really positive.”

Collins is also hearing from the likes of Oregon, Duke, Arizona, and Cal. He hasn’t scheduled any other visits.

“[I’m looking for] somewhere I can really develop,” Collins said. “I want to be one-and-done, but if that’s not the case, then two-and-done or three-and-done. I want to be somewhere that feels like a family like Team WhyNot. Somewhere I can really improve.”

Christian Collins’ Game

St. John Bosco (California) five-star forward Christian Collins is the nation’s No. 3 overall prospect according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services. Rivals ranks Collins as the No. 2 small forward and the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2026 class.

“My greatest strengths are my versatility, my strength for my height, my shooting ability, and my rebounding,” Collins said.

Collins noted his inconsistency during Nike EYBL’s Peach Jam. However, he showed flashes of being one of the nation’s best.

“I feel like I’ve been consistent at times and at other times inconsistent,” he said. “As a team, as a whole, we’ve been playing as a family. We’ve been playing really well together.”

Kentucky has recently started to get involved with 2026 five-star forward Cam Williams. Now, things are moving fast.

The 6-foot-11, 200-pound power forward from St Mary’s (Phoenix, AZ) told KSR+ that he received an offer from Kentucky during a call with Mark Pope and Jason Hart on Wednesday night. He also scheduled an official visit to Kentucky from September 26-28.

“It was good. Mark [Pope] was trying to get to know my parents,” Williams said. “He was telling us how I’d fit into the program and all of that stuff. He was telling me about the history.”

Williams said that he’s been talking to Jason Hart for about two weeks. Then, Mark Pope “FaceTimed me out of nowhere last week, and we’ve been talking ever since.”

“I like how they put guys in the league,” Williams said. “They have a lot of big names who are playing currently, like SGA, KAT, and AD. They have a long list of really good pros. I like how they play as a team. I watched a couple of their games last year. Obviously, they’re one of the top teams. It’s a school I could see myself fitting in at, playing there, and all of that stuff.”

A Busy Upcoming Visit Schedule

Cam Williams is preparing for a busy upcoming visit schedule. He’s set to visit Texas (Sept. 3-5), Purdue (Sept. 12-14), Kentucky (Sept. 26-28), Duke (Oct. 3-5), and USC (Oct. 11-12).

“I’m going to be asking questions about how they see me fitting into that situation,” Williams said. “Are they going to get other guys like me? Are they going to go into the portal? My main thing is that I just want to play. I want an opportunity, and I want to get developed to play at the next level.”

Williams said he’s unsure about a commitment date. He is “still thinking” about a timeline.

“I don’t care if it’s far. Whatever is best for me,” Williams said. “I want to go somewhere where I’m going to play and play the way I play, I want to have an impact and go to a winning team, and I just want to get developed and get pushed.”

Cam Williams’ Game

2026 five-star power forward Cam Williams of St. Mary’s (AZ) is ranked by the Rivals Industry Ranking as the No. 9 overall prospect in the nation. Rivals ranks Williams as the No. 3 power forward and the No. 16 overall prospect in the class.

“Right now, I’d say my shooting, my defensive versatility, and my rebounding [are my greatest strengths],” Williams said.

247Sports Embed Resource

Could Kentucky be poised to land the highest-ranked commitment of the Mark Pope era and its first top-5 prospect since 2023.

Inglewood (Calif.) 5-star combo guard Jason Crowe Jr. is set to announce his college decision.

The No. 5 overall prospect in the 2026 class according to 247Sports, Crowe will announce his commitment on his birthday, July 18, his father tells Joe Tipton of On3 Sports.

Crowe, who has not announced a list cut or a list of finalists, holds scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Arizona, Arizona State, Arkansas, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Texas, UCLA, USC, Villanova, and Washington among others.

The trepidation among additional schools to offer Crowe could be because his father, Jason Crowe Sr., is lifelong friends with UK assistant Jason Hart. Like Hart, Crowe Sr. is from Inglewood, Calif. and attended Inglewood High School before going on to enjoy a lengthy professional basketball career overseas.

The Wildcats extended a scholarship offer to Crowe last August and Pope, Hart and the UK staff conducted an in-home visit with Crowe and his family in April. Pope also coached Crowe at the USA U19 trials in Colorado Springs last month.

"You gotta keep that family aspect in play. If you can't trust family, who can you trust?" Crowe said during an interview with incoming Kentucky freshman Jasper Johnson. "[Kentucky] fits around my play style, I shoot a lot of 3s, play fast, good pace. It's a school I could see myself in."

Should he pick Kentucky, Crowe would become the Wildcats' highest-ranked commitment since Aaron Bradshaw, also ranked No. 5 overall by 247Sports, in 2023.

Playing for the Oakland Soldiers, Crowe leads the prestigious Nike EYBL circuit in scoring, averaging 22.4 points to go along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.1 steals over 11 games this travel season, where he teams alongside No. 1 overall prospect and fellow Kentucky target Tyran Stokes.

Crowe has scored 20 or more points in eight of 11 games in the EYBL this travel season while also recording a pair of 30-point games.

247Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein described Crowe as one of the best and most prolific scorers in the country.

"The southpaw guard is such a gifted scorer of the basketball. Crowe is skilled, crafty, and has an advanced understanding of how to operate with the ball. In high school, he's responsible for creating the offense in the vast majority of possessions. In the EYBL, though, when he's teaming with [Tyran] Stokes, he's still learning to pick his spots just a bit," Finkelstein wrote in May.

"He is playing with extremely high volume. It's not that he's not capable of creating for others. He certainly is. He makes quality pick-and-roll reads and punishes defenses for sending secondary defenders. It's only that his mindset is to create to start virtually every possession, and he's still learning how to play without the ball in his hands. He's already, arguably, the most potent scoring guard in the class, and has another level he can get to by picking his spots and making himself a threat off the ball."
