Home Care In Warminster, PA

Home Care Warminster, PA

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 Moland 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 Warminster, PA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

This letter is a personal thank you from my father and the entire Ceuch family on how your caregivers treated and attended to my father during this time. The caregivers became part of our extended family who shared in countless family events resulting in beautiful lasting memories. Caregivers Frances Boateng, Jeremy Turner, and Yanice Hernandez were awesome in their care of my father. I want to especially acknowledge Francis as a person who went above and beyond his responsibility and became part of the Ceuch inner circle. It was not uncommon for Francis on his off days to stop by during a family picnic to say hello...he is truly loved by my father. Again, I want to thank you for the loving care your caregivers provided my father. I would highly recommend your company to anyone interested in having a caregiver attend to a loved one.

She was always cooking wonderful homemade meals and desserts and I was happy to see how happy she made Daryl. I think she is a wonderful asset to Always Best Care.

“Our sister, Barbara has early-onset dementia , and was in sudden need of a personal care assistant until placement in a quality skilled nursing facility became available. We reached out to home health care agencies in her local area but, by this point, had already worked with several agencies for med reminders for Barbara (and 24/7 care for our Mom in another area of CT) and were a bit skeptical that that we’d find one that could provide consistent quality of care.When I spoke with Rick Downey of Always Best Care Senior Services in Bristol, he conveyed both confidence in his knowledge of health care and empathy in understanding the frustrations that families experience when seeking quality care for their loved ones. We were next contacted by their care coordinator,Heather Kozikowski, who came to our sister’s home to conduct an assessment and further explain the services offered by Always Best Care.A further testament to the exceptional quality of Always Best Care is the service and care we’ve received after Barbara is no longer a client; our thanks to Always Best Care for the excellent care of our sister, and the peace-of-mind it afforded our family knowing that she was in such kind and competent hands!”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Warminster, PA?

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 Warminster, PA
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 Augusto's or visit William Tennent House, 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Warminster, PA

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:

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 Warminster, PA, 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 Warminster, PA

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 PA'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 Warminster, PA

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 Warminster, PA 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 Warminster, PA

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 Warminster, PA

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:

  • Christs Home, Senior Services
  • Heartis Bucks County Assisted Living
  • Majestic Oaks Rehabilitation and Nursing Center
  • Ann's Choice Senior Living Community
  • Renaissance Gardens At Ann's
  • Arden Courts ProMedica Memory Care Community Warminster
Home Care Warminster, PA

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.

 In-Home Care Warminster, PA

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

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:

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

Mosquito Spraying Set For Wednesday Night In Warminster

The Bucks County Department of Health Mosquito Disease Control Program will spray for mosquitoes to protect for the West Nile Virus.

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — The Bucks County Department of Health Mosquito Disease Control Program will spray for mosquitoes in parts of the township and neighboring Northampton Township on Wednesday night.

The spraying will begin at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Warminster and Northampton townships to reduce high populations of nuisance mosquitoes and mosquitoes capable of transmitting West Nile Virus.

Treatments will occur in Warminster Township bound by Olive Street, Park Avenue, Madison Avenue, Aspen Street, and Evergreen Avenue. In addition, Warminster Community Park and Munro Park will be treated.

The treatment will be administered via truck-mounted equipment, spraying mosquito habitats in residential and park locations, county officials said.

Trucks used in the spray are identified with Bucks County seal logos located on the doors. The equipment dispenses Duet at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre. This product is designed to provide quick, effective control of adult mosquito populations.

These application materials have a very low toxicity profile to mammals and will have negligible impact to non-target insects and the environment.

Certain mosquito species carry the West Nile Virus, which can cause humans to contract West Nile encephalitis, an infection that can result in an inflammation of the brain.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, all residents in areas where virus activity has been identified are at risk of contracting West Nile encephalitis.

Weather conditions and other unexpected events could delay or cancel this spray operation.

If conditions do not allow application on Wednesday, Thursday evening will serve as the back-up spray date.

Residents can help protect themselves and their community from the West Nile Virus by getting rid of standing water around their homes. Mosquitoes can breed in even small amounts of water that could be found in items including flowerpots, buckets, toys and clogged gutters. Using bug spray and wearing long sleeves, especially around dawn and dusk, can also help keep bites away.

To learn more about mosquitoes and West Nile Virus, visit www.dep.pa.gov/westnile.

Anyone with questions or concerns should contact the Bucks County Department of Health at 215-345-3318.

WARRINGTON, PA — Philadelphia cheesesteak royalty is coming to Warrington.

Steve’s Prince of Steaks will be opening a new location on Easton Road across from Target, the eatery announced on its Facebook page.

“We are hoping soon,” said the eatery after being asked when they expect to open. “Look for an announcement!”

Steve’s Prince of Steaks has been a Philadelphia institution for more than 40 years. It was founded by Steven Iliescu in 1980, at the corner of Bustleton Avenue and St. Vincent Street, near Cottman Avenue.

The eatery’s website describes its steaks as the "freshest ingredients with specially-made rolls, and the best quality rib-eye steak available for a cheesesteak experience you will not forget."

This will be the eatery’s second location in Bucks and its fifth location overall. Other locations are in Northeast Philadelphia on Bustleton Avenue, near Reedman-Toll on Lincoln Highway in Langhorne, just off Roosevelt Boulevard at the Woodhaven exit and in Wildwood, New Jersey.

Steve's Prince of Steaks bills itself as "the best traditional cheesesteak in Philadelphia.

“One bite and you’ll be a loyal subject for life," says its website. "Cooked right before your eyes, so there is no disguise. We use the freshest ingredients, our specially made rolls, and the best quality rib-eye steak available for a cheesesteak experience you will not forget.”

According to the restaurant, cheese steak consumption has its own etiquette. When ordering, there are two critical questions to answer: First, what kind of cheese do you want? (Whiz? Provolone? American?) Second, do you want onions?

If you want whiz and onions, request a “Whiz wit.” Not into onions? Then ask for a “Whiz Widout,” which will yield a sandwich with Cheez Whiz and no onions. Next, ask for any other toppings or condiments you desire. Then, sit down and enjoy a scrumptious cheesesteak.”

The eatery’s fans are beyond excited by the news. One wrote, “Wow, this is great news. I always said Steve's Prince of Steaks was the best in the entire Philadelphia area so now to get one in the burbs is great for everyone.”

When Jane and Michael Doyle started preparing for their move to Ann's Choice, an Erickson Senior Living community in Bucks County, Pa., their first step was clear--reach out to Planning and Moving Consultant Lisa Sicilia.

The couple had a lot of questions about their "many possessions"--what to take and what to discard or donate, recalls Jane, noting that they were moving from a two-bedroom townhouse with a full basement.

"Lisa was extremely helpful," says Jane. "She advised us on what furniture we could bring."

Priority List perks

Jane and Michael enjoyed a range of benefits as Priority List members, including first choice of available residences and invitations to exclusive informational events.

But for them, access to personalized planning and moving support was the most impactful one by far.

As they found, Sicilia offers far more than just sage advice.

"I can help create a layout with your furniture, recommend preferred vendors, and coordinate services that you choose," she explains. "For those who have lived in their houses for several years and don't know where to begin, these resources offer real peace of mind. I'm here to make your move as easy and stress-free as possible!"

Personalized support

Sicilia's support for incoming residents also includes complimentary home visits.

"Some people are moving from townhouses and others are moving from large single-family homes," Sicilia explains. "That's why a home visit is so important. By discussing the goals for your new living space and all the furniture you'd like to bring, we achieve a better understanding of what resources are needed."

She continues, "Just simply talking through the process, one step at a time, helps too."

Jane, who was initially overwhelmed at the thought of moving, agrees. "We were able to make all the decisions rather than rely on our children, which felt good. Lisa was a big help."

During her visit with the Doyles, Sicilia took measurements and created a detailed floor plan showing how their furniture would fit in their desired Ann's Choice residence.

"Creating the floor plan gives a true sense of what their furnishings will look like in their new home," notes Sicilia. "It also makes decluttering that much easier."

Jane adds, "It was useful for the movers as well."

Trusted partners

Lisa also connects Priority List members with a network of trusted professionals, from real estate agents and downsizing specialists to moving companies and interior design vendors.

"All of our preferred vendors have been vetted for quality service," she explains. "The real estate agents specialize in different regions, so they can help make a plan for a quick home sale based on where you live."

"We used one of the moving companies Lisa recommended, which was excellent," says Jane. "She also advised us quite a bit on companies and charities we could donate [our items] to."

And if residents choose to personalize their home before moving in, Sicilia coordinates those services as well.

"I work closely with residents when they're choosing finishes like countertops, cabinets, paint colors, and flooring," she says. "Then, I connect them with vendors who specialize in custom closets, lighting, window treatments--whatever they're looking for."

Jane and Michael decided to add built-ins to their closets to make the most of their space. "The built-ins really worked out well," Jane says.

Full steam ahead

Since their move, the Doyles have been living life to the fullest at Ann's Choice.

"The first thing is socialization--going to the dining room every night and meeting new people," Jane says. "I go to gentle yoga and tai chi, and together, we attend lectures."

She continues, "I've always been a walker, but I'm walking a lot more here--inside in the winter and outside now, exploring the grounds. When you're out walking, everyone says hello or good morning. It's really nice."

Sicilia encourages anyone considering this vibrant lifestyle at Ann's Choice to start planning now.

"It's never too soon to create a plan or start downsizing, especially for folks who have lived in their house for 20 or 30 years," she says. "And I'll be there to help every step of the way! Together, we'll make sure you experience a seamless move."

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — The Centennial School District's new superintendent has one month in the books.

Following his controversial selection, former Central Bucks Schools Superintendent Abe Lucabaugh has settled into his new gig, leading the school district representing residents in the Warminster and Upper Southampton townships.

Lucabaugh began his tenure on July 1, replacing Schools Superintendent Dana T. Bedden, whose five-year contract ended at the end of June.

He recently introduced himself to the Centennial School District community.

"I want to say hello and thank you for the opportunity to serve as your new superintendent here in Centennial," he said in a post by the school district. "Working to provide our students with a dynamic educational experience is a privilege, and I'm excited to continue building on the great work that is occurring here."

Lucabaugh said that during his first week, he met staff, as well as some students and parents.

"I'm incredibly impressed with the dedication, professionalism, innovation, and sense of pride within our district," he said. "Education is a tremendous force for change, individually, locally, and globally. It has the power to transform the trajectory of our students' lives and create access to incredible opportunities, and that is why our work matters."

Lucabaugh announced that he will host a series of community forums over the next few months with the "purpose of listening intently, learning your priorities, and engaging in conversations with you."

"I want to know what is important to our students, families, employees, and community, what we are doing well, and how we can improve the services and support we provide," Lucabaugh said. "Most importantly, I want to meet as many of you as possible, learn your stories, and build relationships that will lead to positive experiences for our students."

He said once dates are finalized, the school district will advertise the meetings on its website and social media platforms.

Lucabaugh's hiring happened in a 5-4 vote and was surrounded by controversy among Centennial School Board members and the community.

Lucabaugh's selection was blasted by the concerned citizens group, parents, and several school board members, who said the selection process was weak and did not provide community and school board input. The Bucks County Intermediate Unit conducted the superintendent search.
