Home Care In Newington, CT

Home Care Newington, CT

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 Kelsey House in Newington, CT 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 Newington, CT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I am so grateful to everyone at Always Best Care. The Care Givers treated my parents with compassion, dignity, and respect. I knew my parents were in good hands. Those in the office, whom I spoke with often, were also compassionate and very understanding. When my parents suddenly needed additional care hours, the office worked diligently to ensure those needs were met quickly. When either of my parents was in the emergency room or admitted to the hospital, the office staff and Care Givers were not only concerned for them but for me also. As my Father has passed on and my Mother needs a higher level of care, I will always sing the praises of the staff at Always Best Care. They have been like extended family.”

“Where can I begin? The short review: ABC Caregivers are FABULOUS!! The long review: We landed in a gap of care for my mom. I called Taylor at ABC on a Thursday and early the next week we had completed the intake process, and Taylor was able to secure 3 caregivers (12 hrs a day for 7 days a week) for my mom. The caregivers (Teresa Rose, Asha, Doreen) were great. Each had their own approach with mom, regardless, they all had empathy, compassion and kindness any time they engaged with mom. The support from ABC give us the time to find a new community that better fit where mom was with her Alzheimer's journey. We are so very grateful for the quick support, the follow up and the care needed in a critical time for us and for mom. THANK YOU ALWAYS BEST CARE!!! You are amazing!!!!”

“I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for the extraordinary care provided to my mother, Gerry Mikulka, during her final weeks of life. In particular, I want to recognize Evelyn, whose exceptional service as a live-in health aide made an immeasurable difference in my mother's end-of-life journey. From the moment Evelyn walked into the house, she created a special bond with our mom. In those first few weeks, Evelyn recognized Mom's need for companionship, spending time with her watching television and working on puzzles together. It warmed our hearts to see Mom so comfortable with someone in the home since she had lived there alone for many years. As Mom's condition progressed, Evelyn's true expertise shined through. She worked beautifully with our family and the hospice nurses, providing invaluable guidance on necessary medical equipment, dietary adjustments, and other modifications to ensure mom's comfort. What touched us most was how Evelyn went above and beyond in Mom's final days. She moved into Mom's room to be there whenever she was needed – day or night. And she had a wonderful way of being there for us too. Whenever we were visiting with Mom, Evelyn would quietly step back, but she was always just around the corner if we needed help. She knew exactly when to step in and when to give us privacy. We never felt alone in caring for Mom because Evelyn was such a steady, caring presence. She managed Mom's pain with real skill while keeping her comfortable and peaceful. I wanted you to know what an extraordinary person you have in Evelyn. We'll always be grateful for the peace of mind she gave us and the tender care she gave Mom. Warmly, Linda Knox”

“I’ve been a nurse for over 40 years, and I am currently a nursing professor. When my mom was recently in the hospital, I knew it would not be possible for her to be completely on her own right away. She loves where she resides and enjoys all of the activities that are offered. My goal was to get her back into her apartment as soon as possible with the support she needed to increase her strength and return to her prior level of wellness she had before she went into the hospital. She was used to walking a couple miles a day. When I reached out to ABC I made it clear that my mom would need somebody who would be willing to walk with her in the morning, and in the evening enabling her to get back to her baseline. I would like to complement all of the staff at ABC who provided my mom such wonderful support after two weeks she returned to her baseline and remained in her apartment. She really enjoyed all of the staff that were with her , they were professional they encouraged her to walk, drink fluids, eat and were instrumental in assisting her to reach her prior level of independence. I would strongly recommend ABC to anybody who is in need of support for their loved one.”

My uncle was a very proud man and did not want help from anyone, including family. Taylor met with me and spent time getting to know the ins and outs of my uncle’s care as well as his personality. She asked about his background so that they could look for a caregiver with similar interests. Although he took a turn for the worse rather quickly, the short time care was provided was wonderful. Thank you for your help and compassion.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Newington, CT?

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 Newington, CT
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 Ruth's Chris Steak House or visit Kellogg-Eddy House & Museum, 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.

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 Newington, CT, 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 Newington, CT

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 CT'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 Newington, CT

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 Newington, CT 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 Newington, CT

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 Newington, CT

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:

  • Middlewoods of Newington
  • Civita Care Center at Newington
  • Bel-Air Manor
  • Cedar Mountain Commons
  • Jefferson House
  • Newington Senior & Disabled
Home Care Newington, CT

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.

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Colony Grill, the Connecticut original known for its Famous Thin-Crust Pizza and signature Hot Oil topping, is continuing its expansion across Hartford County with two new locations planned for Newington and South Windsor, both scheduled to open in 2027. The announcement comes ahead of the opening of Colony Grill's Glastonbury location and represents another step in the brand's continued expansion across Connecticut, bringing its Hot Oil Bar Pies to more families and communities throughout the state.

"These two towns represent exactly what Colony Grill is about," said Paul Coniglio, CEO and co-owner of Colony Grill. "We've grown this concept around great pizza bringing people together—with teammates coming in after practice, families sharing a Bar Pie on a Tuesday night, or friends catching the game together. Newington and South Windsor have that same strong sense of local pride, and we're excited not just to open restaurants there, but to become part of the fabric of both towns through the way we serve our guests, support local organizations, and show up for the community."

The Newington location at 3260 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, CT will seat more than 175 guests with a large patio, and introduce Colony Grill's first-ever fully private dining room. The dedicated space will provide a setting for team dinners, birthday celebrations, and the after-the-game get-togethers that have long been part of the Colony Grill tradition. The restaurant will also feature a full bar with twelve tap lines and several TVs for sports fans in a relaxed atmosphere.

"We're excited to have a space in Newington that gives us even more opportunities to welcome guests in and make them feel at home," said Ken Martin, COO and co-owner of Colony Grill. "The private dining room gives us a dedicated space to host milestone celebrations, corporate outings, and group dinners while delivering the same great pizza and hospitality that define the Colony Grill experience."

The South Windsor location at 255 Gateway Blvd will bring the same simple, family-friendly Colony Grill experience to Buckland Gateway, a new mixed-use development featuring retail, dining and community spaces. This restaurant will also include Colony's signature 12-tap bar and multiple TVs, along with seating for approximately 150 guests and an inviting patio offering a welcoming place for nearby residents, families, office workers, and visitors to enjoy Colony's Famous Hot Oil Bar Pies.

"We're thrilled to welcome Colony Grill to Buckland Gateway," said Phoebe Sager, Principal of Sager Development. "Colony is exactly the kind of tenant we envisioned for the project—a great Connecticut brand with an incredibly loyal following and a strong commitment to the communities it serves. We believe they will be a terrific addition to South Windsor and an important part of making Buckland Gateway a place where people want to gather, dine and spend time. We're very excited to have Paul and the entire Colony Grill team here."

The two new locations are part of Colony Grill's broader expansion across Hartford County and reflect the brand's continued focus on bringing its distinctive Bar Pie experience into communities where family, sports, and local connection are central.

Newington celebrated the reopening of the school after a renovation backed by more than $8 million in state funding.

NEWINGTON, CT — Students and educators at John Wallace Middle School are starting the school year in a newly renovated building following a project supported by more than $8 million in state funding.

State Reps. Kate Farrar, D-West Hartford, and Gary Turco, D-Newington, and state Sen. Matt Lesser, D-Middletown, recently joined students, educators, administrators, town officials and community members for a grand reopening of the school.

The project received $8,038,180 in state bonding funds, according to the lawmakers. The state grant provides a 75% reimbursement toward the project's total cost, reducing the amount paid locally.

"These newly finished renovations ensure that John Wallace Middle School provides students with a modern, safe, and welcoming learning environment for years to come," Farrar said. "The grand reopening marks an important milestone for the Newington community and reflects the value of our state and local partnership to invest in Connecticut's schools."

Turco said the state funding covered 75% of the project's cost.

"This is an investment not just in a building, but in Newington's students and in the future of our community," Turco said.

Lesser recalled touring the school with Newington Superintendent of Schools Maureen Brummett before the renovations.

"I remember going on a walkthrough of John Wallace Middle School with Newington Superintendent Brummett and others; it was like a time warp back to the 1970s," Lesser said.

Lesser said he and other members of Newington's legislative delegation worked to secure the funding through Public Act 24-151.

"This upgrade leaves students much safer and dramatically improves the learning environment," Lesser said. "The 75% reimbursement rate we secured saved Newington taxpayers millions of dollars."

The reopening marks the completion of the renovation project and the return of the school community to the updated facility.

Market 32 will officially unveil its new 43,078-square-foot location at 3333 Berlin Turnpike, Newington at Meadow Commons shopping center at 6 a.m. Friday during a grand opening ceremony.

The Newington opening will coincide with the permanent closure of Price Chopper at 2985 Berlin Turnpike, which will close for good at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Market 32 and Price Chopper President Blaine Bringhurst said Sunday that the new Market 32 location will have more visibility on the highly traveled Berlin Turnpike. He said it’s about a mile and a half from the previous location, which was more hidden from main traffic routes.

The Golub Corporation operates supermarkets under the Price Chopper and Market 32 banners. The company is based in Schenectady, New York. and operates 128 supermarkets and has more than 15,500 in its workforce in Connecticut, New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Connecticut has nine Market 32/Price Chopper locations. After Friday, Market 32 locations will be in Bristol, Middletown, Newington, Oxford and Torrington. Price Chopper locations are open in Putnam, Southington, Storrs and Windsor. All Price Chopper’s will eventually be rebranded to Market 32 locations.

Bringhurst said the new Newington location will offer the same amenities of the other Market 32 locations in the state. The store will feature ready-to-eat prepared meals, fresh sushi made in store daily, hot food bars, olive bars as well as expanded offerings of cheese and artisan breads.

The Newington Market 32 will offer catering as well as a floral department. Other offerings include an area to sit and eat in the store with charging ports.

“It will be a state-of-the-art facility that’ll suit customers, no matter how they want to shop,” Bringhurst said. “Whether they want to come in. Get their stuff and prepare their food. Or if they want to come in and enjoy a quick meal or want to order from our full-service catering department as the main meal for an occasion. We also have floral arrangements for that occasion as well as the cake.”

Bringhurst said the change from a Price Chopper to a Market 32 makes the store a “more contemporary experience” with a focus on open sight lines.

“We continue to look for potential opportunities to grow and expand in Connecticut because our other Market 32s in Connecticut have been fantastic for us,” Bringhurst said. “Torrington, Bristol, Middletown and Oxford have been received very well by the local communities in those Connecticut towns and cities that we’ve opened up in.”

According to the developer’s website, Grossman Development Group LLC, Meadow Commons is just over 24 acres and has 269 luxury apartments as well as “more than 35,000 square feet of lifestyle retail, dining and amenity tenants.”

The mixed-use development is on land previously occupied by Eversource Energy.

In addition to Market 32, Meadow Commons tenants include Shake Shack, Cava, P.J.’s Coffee and Sally’s Apizza and more.

Bringhurst said Market 32 takes the responsibility of being one of the anchors of Meadow Commons “very seriously.”

“We will make sure that we are running a great store with great prices and great offerings and keep it exciting. The location of this store is just a high traffic area, easy to get in and out of. The other tenants that are, or will be, in this shopping center with us will help share the burden of driving customers to that parking lot and into each other’s store. We’re really excited to be a part of this development,” Bringhurst said.

The Newington Market 32 opening has been in the works for more than two years. Bringhurst said the building was constructed by Amazon with the expectation of an Amazon Fresh moving in.

“Plans changed leaving it vacant and the plaza developer came to us,” Bringhurst said. “We took a hard look at it and ran our economics as far as traffic, co-tenants and decided it would be a really good fit.”

Bringhurst said the building was already in place and Market 32 was confined to the size and shape of the building. The new location is roughly half the size of the closing Newington Price Chopper. It will also be the smallest Connecticut Market 32 location. Bringhurst said Market 32 average store sizes are in the 65,000- to 70,000-square-foot range.

“Because we were able to design it the way we want it. It also has a lot less wasted space. It’ll be more efficient. It’ll be more intuitive from an adjacency perspective for the customer and the customer flow. Although it is a smaller store, we will have a tremendous offering for our customer base in this store,” Bringhurst said.

Bringhurst said Friday’s grand opening will begin with Newington store manager Mike Pauley singing the national anthem. The Newington Fire Department Company No. 2 will be displaying the American flag from its ladder truck.

“We raise a flag and sing the national anthem at every grand opening. We are a USA-based company,” Bringhurst said. “Customers can expect to find some great new exciting offerings with some really tremendous values in a store that I think will be very aesthetically pleasing and very intuitively laid out. It will be an easy shop. Things will make sense where they are. They will flow from the right department to the next department.”

Bringhurst said the company is focused on being a great community partner under its Market 32 Cares platform. He said the three pillars of that program are helping the customer eat healthfully and making the right choices in their lifestyle; eradicating hunger as well as supporting childhood education and athletics.

“The folks of this community can look for us to be giving back in these areas,” Bringhurst said.

The grand opening was initially planned for July 12 but was rescheduled to July 17 to “complete final preparations.”

Customers who received grand opening coupons in the mail could redeem the Week 1, $8 off an $80 purchase coupon at Price Chopper at 2985 Berlin Turnpike until the store closure and also at the 3333 Berlin Turnpike Market 32 location on July 17 and 18.
