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 Casa Grande Ruins National Monument 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 San Tam Valley, AZ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in San Tam Valley, AZ?

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.

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 Sage Barrel Craft Eatery or visit San Tan Mountain Regional Park, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

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

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

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

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

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

With the help of elderly care in San Tam Valley, AZ, 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 San Tam Valley, AZ

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 AZ'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 San Tam Valley, AZ

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 San Tam Valley, AZ 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 San Tam Valley, AZ

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 San Tam Valley, AZ

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:

  • San Tan Valley Assisted Living
  • Countryside Living Assisted Living Memory Care
  • House of Dignity Assisted Living
  • Magma Calm Home Assisted Living
  • Goldmine Assisted Living Home JV
  • Everland Living Memory Care and Assisted Living
Home Care San Tam Valley, AZ

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.

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way

San Tan Valley just got a little brighter with the grand opening of The Local Jeweler, the community's first-ever jewelry store. Owners Jennifer and Murat* celebrated their official ribbon-cutting on Saturday, January 25th, marking a milestone for both their business and the town.

A Much-Needed Addition to San Tan ValleyFor years, residents of San Tan Valley have had to drive 45 minutes or more just for jewelry repairs or to find that perfect piece of sparkle. Seeing this gap, Jennifer and Murat knew they could bring something special to the community.

"We've been in the jewelry business for 25 years, and when we moved to Copper Basin in 2023, we really wanted to be a part of this community and share our jewelry with everyone," they shared.

The ribbon-cutting and grand opening event was a moment of love, support, and celebration. Not only did the local community show up in full force, but friends from as far as Alaska made the trip to support Jennifer and Murat on their big day.

"Our experience was absolutely amazing! We felt the love and support of the community, and having our friends from Alaska here made it even more special."

More Than Just a Jewelry StoreBeyond offering stunning gemstones and custom designs, The Local Jeweler is filling an essential gap in San Tan Valley. Their services include:

Murat, a master jeweler with over 43 years of experience, and Jennifer, who has been in the industry for 15 years, previously catered to the cruise ship industry in Alaska. But the couple was ready for a change.

"We decided to come to San Tan Valley to slow down a little bit and really be a part of the community," they explained.

For Jennifer and Murat, The Local Jeweler is more than just a business—it's about creating lasting connections and being there for life's biggest moments.

"Our goal is to become a family household name. We would love to be a part of the big milestones in people's lives."

As they embark on this new journey, they leave the community with a simple but meaningful message:

"Make happiness your next best choice."

Arizona State Land Department Seeks Rezoning for Over 3,200 Acres in San Tan Valley

The Arizona State Land Department (ASLD), in collaboration with Pinal County, is seeking to rezone 3,238.7 acres in unincorporated San Tan Valley. The rezoning aims to position the land for future development and align it with the ASLD's mission of maximizing the value of State Trust Land for the benefit of public institutions, including schools.

The property, currently undeveloped desert and agricultural land, lies between Hash Knife Draw Road to the north, Bella Vista Drive to the south, Schnepf Road to the east, and Hunt Highway to the west. Gantzel Road bisects the site diagonally from northwest to southeast. Strategically located near major existing and planned transportation corridors such as the planned Central Arizona Parkway, the North-South Corridor, and a proposed extension of State Route 24, the property is seen as prime for future development.

Rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment

The rezoning application includes a request for a non-major amendment to the Pinal County Comprehensive Plan to classify the property as a "Special District." This designation provides flexibility to accommodate various types of development while meeting long-term planning goals. The second component of the application seeks to rezone the property from General Rural to Large Master Planned Community (L-MPC) zoning. This change would create a framework for managing future development density, land use, and infrastructure requirements.

According to the application, rezoning will ensure that the land is ready for potential auctions, where developers can bid to acquire parcels for residential, commercial, or mixed-use projects. The framework is designed to support phased development over the next decade.

Role of the Arizona State Land Department

As the landowner, ASLD retains full authority over the property's future use. Decisions about development will be made based on ASLD's mandate to generate revenue for public beneficiaries while adhering to state and local planning guidelines. Pinal County's role in the application process is administrative, facilitating rezoning efforts to align with regional planning objectives.

Broader Implications

While the property falls within the proposed incorporation boundaries for a potential future town of San Tan Valley, ASLD emphasizes that the rezoning and development planning are not contingent upon municipal incorporation. The rezoning aligns with regional goals for economic growth and transportation planning, benefiting the area regardless of its governance structure.

The property's rezoning is part of broader efforts to accommodate Pinal County's rapid population and employment growth. Surrounding the site are agricultural operations and single-family residential developments, making it a focal point for future expansion.

Environmental and Community Considerations

Environmental and cultural studies will be conducted before any development occurs, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The application also notes that public input, including feedback from community stakeholders, will be considered as part of the approval process.

Next Steps

The Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission is reviewing the rezoning application, with public hearings and agency reviews scheduled as part of the decision-making process. Consultants Swaback Partners and WOODPATEL are assisting in the rezoning effort.

For more information on the Arizona State Land Department and State Trust Lands, visit the ASLD website. Residents interested in the rezoning process can contact Pinal County Development Services for additional details.
