Home Care In Rockville, MD

Home Care Rockville, MD

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 Rockville Park Historic District in Rockville, MD 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 Rockville, MD is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

Our family is so grateful for the Always Best staff that lovingly cared for my father-in-law Bill over the last year of his life. The caregivers included Sylvester, Elizabeth and Amy in the daytime, and Ellen, Haddy, and Isatu at night. They cared for Bill as if he was family. It was exceptional care and we will always fondly remember them.

“We needed to find care for my grandmother after a serious health crisis. Her care”

We needed to find care for my grandmother after a serious health crisis. Her care would be taking place across state lines, about 2 hours away from my home. I was referred to Dena at ABC by someone in my community. It turns out that she lives in the area where Gram would be placed. As a result, she was able to recommend a wonderful assisted living facility hat fit our specifications perfectly. We were able to tour the facility via Zoom while a family member toured with Dena in person.Dena’s willingness to listen and then take great care in her recommendation made the search painless. We were so fortunate to find this compassionate business.

We are so happy to have found Always Best Care. Last November, I suffered a compound ankle fracture and was completely non weight-bearing. As the primary helper for my husband who has Parkinson's, I needed to find a solution fast. I called Always Best based on a neighbor's recommendation. Within a short time, I had an in-home visit from their representative who listened carefully to me describe our needs and helped develop a forward looking plan. . The next day, Always Best sent an aide to our house. From the minute this young woman (Swikriti) came into our home, things got better, I could hardly believe what a good match Always Best had to us right from the start! She is energetic, pleasant, and respectful with a strong work ethic and a desire to help. Although I am now able to walk again, we continue to work with Swikriti as she is such a big help to us. Our experience with Always Best has been very position - from the initial assessment, to their front office staff, billing, and most of all, their fantastic aide.

My 97 year old husband on Hospice was cared for by his namesake, another Benjamin who was with him daily from 8AM to 8PM. Not only did Benjamin help me survive (I am almost 97 too), but he was so kind, gentle and careful about all that he did. When my husband saw him in the morning, he actually managed a tiny smile. In addition to direct care for his patient, he washed dishes, dusted and vacuumed!! There were also two night shift aides, Emanuel and Bismarck. Each came only once but they were equally competent. Without Robin Henoch and ABC? I don't even want to think about it.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Rockville, MD?

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 Rockville, MD
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 Stanford Grill Rockville or visit Map of Rockville, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

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 Rockville, MD, 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.

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 MD'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.

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 Rockville, MD 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 Rockville, MD

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 Rockville, MD

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:

  • Brightview West End
  • Sunrise of Rockville
  • Brightview Fallsgrove
  • Raphael House
  • Ingleside at King Farm
  • CohenRosen House
Home Care Rockville, MD

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

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Due to ongoing safety concerns brought on by last weekend's winter storm, Montgomery County Public Schools will remain closed for students on Friday, Jan. 30, the district said.

According to school officials, the district will be under a Code Red, which means:

"For MCPS to open safely, we need bus-accessible roads, pedestrian-safe sidewalks, and school campuses with safe entries, cleared parking lots and sidewalks free from ice and snow," district officials said. "This does not mean that every piece of snow and ice will be removed for us to operate; however, we need to consider the safety of not just bus riders but also walkers and student drivers."

Weekend activities such as Saturday School, athletics and community use of school facilities are also canceled for Saturday and Sunday.

"Crews will be working throughout the weekend and need space to finish clearing bus loops and parking lots," officials said. "Please avoid visiting school campuses over the weekend."

For planning purposes, MCPS school officials said families should also anticipate a two-hour delay for Monday, Feb. 2. This could change depending on county and state crews continuing to clear roads and students having safe walking routes to school.

Additional updates about Monday’s operational status will be shared on Sunday after 4 p.m.

Emergency Food Sites

On Friday, the following 16 schools will be open for meal pick up between noon and 2 p.m.

Families will receive up to three days worth of meals on Friday. Meals are available to those 18 and under or to individuals over 18 with a disability who are enrolled in school programs.

Child Care Availability

At this time, some MCPS facilities may be able to support child care services. Availability varies by site and is dependent on snow and ice removal, safe access to the building, fully functioning building systems, and staff availability, both MCPS staff and child care provider staff.

Families must contact their individual child care provider directly to confirm whether services are operating and to verify hours of operation.

UK-based biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca’s advanced manufacturing facility is located in Rockville, Maryland, US.

Announced in February 2024, the project boasts an investment of $300m (£223.95m). It was opened in May 2025 and is expected to generate more than 150 new highly skilled jobs.

The facility is designed to produce life-saving cell therapy platforms, which are essential for critical cancer trials and future commercial supply.

It expands the company’s manufacturing footprint in the US and accelerates the discovery and development of the next-generation cell therapy.

The expansion aligns with AstraZeneca’s broader strategy in oncology cell therapy, aiming to enhance the immune system’s T-cells to combat cancer more effectively.

It fortifies AstraZeneca’s global manufacturing and supply network, reinforcing its dedication to delivering innovative treatments to patients worldwide.

The facility is focused on the production of T-cell therapies to facilitate clinical trials globally and can potentially be expanded to cater to other disease areas in the future.

Location of AstraZeneca’s advanced manufacturing facility

AstraZeneca’s cell therapy manufacturing facility is situated at 9950 Medical Centre Drive within the Alexandria Centre® for Life Science – Shady Grove mega campus in Rockville, Maryland.

The site has been leased to AstraZeneca by Alexandria Real Estate Equities. The UK-based pharmaceutical company has entered a 13-year lease agreement with Alexandria Real Estate Equities for the entire Class A+ facility, which is set to last until June 2036.

The Shady Grove campus comprises approximately 1.2 million rentable square footage (RSF) in operation and 807,000 RSF designated for future development, providing a scalable environment for companies.

Located less than five miles from one of AstraZeneca’s global research and development centres, the facility is strategically placed within the thriving life sciences corridor in Montgomery County, Maryland. With proximity to several universities, the life sciences ecosystem provides an attractive place for offering access to new and experienced talent.

AstraZeneca’s cell therapy manufacturing facility details

The 84,264ft² cell therapy facility is dedicated to the manufacturing of CAR-T cell therapies, supporting AstraZeneca’s global clinical trials in cancer treatment.

The site represents the latest investment in cell therapy for AstraZeneca following strategic partnerships and acquisitions, including those with Quell Therapeutics, AbelZeta, Cellectis and Neogene Therapeutics.

The Rockville site joins AstraZeneca’s extensive network of approximately 30 manufacturing and supply sites across 16 countries, which are either currently operational or under development.

Financing details from Maryland

The Maryland Department of Commerce provided a $500,000 conditional loan through the Advantage Maryland programme to support the project.

Montgomery County provided a $100,000 conditional grant from its Economic Development Fund. AstraZeneca is expected to be eligible for further incentives such as the More Jobs for Marylanders programme and the state’s Job Creation Tax Credit upon hiring new employees.

Advancements in AstraZeneca’s oncology cell therapy

AstraZeneca’s oncology cell therapy ambitions were significantly advanced with the acquisition of Neogene Therapeutics in November 2022. Subsequently, in June 2023, the company entered an agreement with Quell Therapeutics to develop engineered T-regulatory cell therapies for autoimmune diseases.

Collaborations with Cellectis in November 2023 furthered AstraZeneca’s objectives in cell therapy and genomic medicine.

The company’s portfolio in cell therapy is designed to enhance the immune system’s T-cells to more effectively combat cancer.

Research teams are exploring innovative approaches to target and arm CAR-Ts, aiming to improve their efficacy in solid tumours by countering the immune-suppressive tumour microenvironment.

AstraZeneca is developing next-generation cell therapies, potentially offering off-the-shelf patient-ready therapies developed from the cells of healthy donors.

It is also advancing with multiple armoured autologous chimeric antigen receptor therapies, including those targeting Glypican 3 in hepatocellular carcinoma.
