Home Care In Greenville, SC

Home Care Greenville, SC

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 Old Greenville County Courthouse Building 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 Greenville, SC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I was looking for 24 hr home care for my mother who was living alone after my Dad's passing. My mother also had Dementia. ABC was recommended by her PCP. I was immediately impressed with my 1st meeting with their Senior Program Coordinator. She took detailed notes about the daily routine. My mind was set at ease when she explained their COVID protocols which included wiping down surfaces, mask requirements and unannounced periodic supervisor check-ins on caregivers. Daily each caregiver maintained meticulous documentation on my mother's daily routines - when she got up - what she ate. They also handled mail sorting and other sensitive confidential information. I was particularly impressed with the professional and caring demeanor of the caregivers. Shift changes overlapped allowing caregivers time to share pertinent information and there was often training from senior caregivers to junior team members about handling transfers and safety. ABC is a first class well run home care providing company.”

ABC has some fantastic employees and they have been a welcome addition to the home during this transition to Assisted Living. Bruce and his team answered our call day and night and responded quickly and professionally. There are always bumps when you are starting a new project, but it's how you handle them that is important.

“So I have known Bruce Meyer for quite some time now. He came at a time where I was struggling to find a job. God sure does work in amazing ways. He was the reason I said yes to the job. It wasn’t just another interview where they just hired anybody. It was a place where I could feel comfortable and not nervous and leave the “interview” knowing I had found a wonderful place to work for. I’ll never forget that day when I agreed to take it because of the words he spoke to me. He said “God is calling you to walk through the doors. “ That alone will tell you how wonderful he is and the care that he gives to those he believes is a good fit for the job. I have been working for Always Best Care since September of 2020. Ever since I started I knew I was in the right hands with the best company I could have ever asked for. They go above and beyond to give exceptional care/ support to the clients, families, and staff.I have heard nothing but positive feedback from anyone I come In contact to that receive their services.

When an aide couldn't make it, they had someone else ready. All of the aides have been fantastic and will be missed.”

The ladies who attended to our mom were always on time and were always extremely loving and gentle. Our mom looked forward to the daily visits. We choose a non-fri schd of 8am - 12pm. When she later moved to more 24 hr nursing home requirements, her caregivers continued to stay in touch and became part of our extended family. Always Best Care will Always be our first option!

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Greenville, SC?

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 Greenville, SC
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 Rick Erwin's West End Grille or visit The Wyche, 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 Greenville, SC

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 Greenville, SC, 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 Greenville, SC

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 SC'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 Greenville, SC

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 Greenville, SC 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 Greenville, SC

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 Greenville, SC

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:

  • Hilltop of Greenville Memory Care
  • The Blake at Hollingsworth Park
  • The Parker
  • The Gardens at Eastside
  • Linville Court at The Cascades Verdae
  • Shepherd's Care Assisted Living Center
Home Care Greenville, SC

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 Greenville, SC

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. 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

Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.

If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Greenville, SC 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Corey Sanders purchased the Minuteman Press franchise in Greenville, SC in September of 2023. With a strong team in place and by following the Minuteman Press system, Corey is joining the President’s Club for achieving over $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2024. Minuteman Press in Greenville is located at 440 DuPont Drive, Greenville, SC 29607

On joining the President’s Club, Corey says, “It’s a true honor to be part of the President’s Club this year. It takes a lot of effort and work to achieve this milestone, and I am proud of my incredible team for their hard work. This achievement could not be possible without their consistent effort.”

From Business Consulting to Printing

Prior to Minuteman Press, Corey worked in the field of business consulting. He shares, “Specifically, I worked in the talent development and operations space. This understanding of business and talent consulting was a natural fit into business ownership. Minuteman Press stood out as a great franchise for a couple of reasons. First, the name recognition and resources were a big selling point. While I was confident in how to run a business, I was not well-versed in the printing industry. Having a franchise that provides training and ongoing support was comforting in a career transition. Secondly, the capped royalty system seemed very fair and manageable from the owner side.”

Corey continues, “The training and support has been extremely helpful and consistent. I have multiple touchpoints within the Minuteman Press franchise including my Field Rep, Regional VP, the home office, and training team. Whenever I need support, I can count on the franchise stepping up to help.”

Growing in Greenville, SC

One of the primary reasons that Corey has been able to hit the ground running in Greenville is that he is active in networking groups and organizations. He shares, “Greenville is a growing and thriving business community. Once a textile city, Greenville is now one of the fastest growing cities in the country. There is a healthy mix of business industries, which allows us to sell to a wide array of business sectors. Through networking groups, local chamber involvement, and partnering with a handful of nonprofits in the area, we have been able to establish ourselves as a printing staple in the Greenville area.”

Corey adds, “For example, joining a local BNI chapter has been a great marketing tool for us. It has connected our business with over 50 other business owners to increase our network. We also take advantage of the Internet Marketing Program and direct marketing opportunities.”

The team at Minuteman Press in Greenville takes advantage of those opportunities by delivering high-demand products and services that meet their clients’ needs. Corey says, “Over the last 15 years, our shop has specialized in traditional paper printing. Most of our high-demand products are booklets, postcards, and envelopes, etc. We also offer full mailing services so we get a lot of design, print, and mail projects. We have been working on growing our large format division through both in-house printing and central facility vendors.”

“For me, the first priority for sales growth and success is creating a self-sufficient team that can handle the day-to-day operations of the shop. This is what unlocks your ability to work ‘on’ your business and not ‘in’ your business. This will allow for you to focus on sales strategy and creating a plan for growth and scale. In my first year, joining a weekly networking group has added roughly $75,000 in new business. We have also utilized the Internet Marketing Program for added leads.” – Corey Sanders

Rewards & Advice for Others

Since becoming his own boss, Corey is happy to be able to spend more time with his family while also having the freedom to put his own stamp on how he runs his business. He says, “I think the biggest personal reward is having the freedom to work hard but also prioritize family. With two little ones at home, the ability to create the spaces to get work done but also be a dad is the reason I left ‘Corporate America.’ On the professional side, the biggest reward is watching my team succeed. Over the last year, we have made a dynamic shift to letting our talented people own their responsibilities. This change to our workplace culture has yielded incredible results, and sharing in those victories is extremely rewarding.”

Corey shares his advice for others, saying, “My advice would be to not fall into the trap of doing everything. Giving others control and decision-making power can be tough at times but it is critical to your sanity as a business owner and is the key to unlocking growth.

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Greenville County Sheriff's Office has announced the death of one of its deputies "with a heavy heart and profound sadness."

The sheriff's office announced the passing of Major Mike East on Monday.

In the Facebook post the sheriff's office said East was "a pillar of our agency and community who dedicated 46 years of unwavering service to the people of Greenville County. Major East was more than a deputy—he was the very embodiment of public service."

"From day one, he devoted himself entirely to protecting and serving with honor, integrity, and compassion. A true family man, Major East’s devotion to duty was only matched by the love he had for his family.

"He set the gold standard in law enforcement, never compromising on the values of accountability, professionalism, and excellence. His influence helped shape generations of deputies, and his impact will be felt for years to come."

“Major East was a man who didn’t just wear the badge—he lived the calling,” said Sheriff Hobart Lewis.

“He highlighted what it means to be a Deputy Sheriff. He pushed all of us to uphold the Sheriff’s Office to the highest standards, and he did so with humility, humor, and heart. Major East was a dear friend who has certainly left an everlasting legacy at the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.”

"Major East will also be remembered for his infectious laughter, quick wit, and storytelling, which brought joy and perspective to even the most challenging days. His presence was larger than life, and his absence will be deeply felt across our agency and community.

"As we grieve this tremendous loss, we also celebrate a life well-lived—a legacy of service, sacrifice, and dedication. Please keep the East family, his friends, and his extended law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers."

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

A Greenville, South Carolina, man was arraigned at a federal court for allegedly using stolen funds to pay for a wedding, luxury travel, and a failed restaurant.

On Friday, at the federal courthouse in New York, Tony Ream of Greenville, SC, was arraigned on an indictment charging him with wire fraud and money laundering in connection with his employment at a Long Island company.

The Department of Justice said Ream was a credit supervisor for the Company, which was a worldwide distributor of medical and dental supplies with its principal place of business in Melville, New York.

Over the course of four years, Ream allegedly sent wire transfers totaling approximately $1.6 million from the Company’s bank account to a bank account that he controlled. The arraignment was held before Magistrate Judge Steven I. Locke.

According to court documents, Ream was hired by the Company in 2019 to work in their credit department. He began as a credit supervisor in 2020. It was at this time, Ream allegedly stole corporate funds from customer refund accounts and diverted the funds to his own accounts.

Additionally, while in his role as supervisor, Ream allegedly deceived employees whom he supervised into taking steps that assisted him in carrying out his fraudulent scheme.

The DOJ said Ream spent tens of thousands of dollars of the proceeds of his fraud on his wedding, hundreds of thousands on a failed restaurant venture in South Carolina, and tens of thousands on luxury international vacations.

If convicted, Ream could face up to 20 years in prison.

"As alleged, Ream is a thief who abused his authority and betrayed his employer to fund his lifestyle, including paying for the renovations of a restaurant he opened, footing the bill for his own wedding, and traveling around the world, all on the company’s dime," stated United States Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr.

The DOJ did not reveal what failed restaurant the filings were referring to.
