“1. Stay active. Exercise may be the last thing you want to do when your arthritis hurts, but many studies show that physical activity is one of the best ways to improve your quality of life. 2. Eat a balanced diet. Studies show that a variety of nutrients may help ease arthritis symptoms. 3. Lose weight. Being overweight puts undue strain on weight-bearing joints such as your knees, spine, hips, ankles, and feet. 5. Use hot or cold packs. By increasing blood flow, hot compresses can ease pain and stiffness. 6. Keep pain under control. Over-the-counter medications can help ease arthritis pain. 7. Talk to your doctor about supplements and complementary medicine. Many supplements have been tested for the treatment of arthritis. 8. Try splints, braces, and other aids. Devices that support painful joints, such as splints, braces, and canes can help ease your discomfort and prevent injury. 9. Seek support. Living with arthritis isn’t easy. Finding other people that you can talk to and share ideas with can help. Check out arthritis support groups online or in your area. 10. Stay positive. Your mental outlook can have a big impact on how you feel, and how well you function. #SelfCare #Osteoarthritis #Arthritis #Disability #GoodHealth #PainRelief #SeniorCommunity #Caregiver #Caregiving #WECANHELP #OlderAdult #SeniorCare #SeniorLiving #SeniorServices #SeniorHousing #AlwaysBestCare #Exercise #SelfManaging #Tips”

 In-Home Care Lindon, UT

How does In-home Senior Care in Lindon, UT work?

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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. When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

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.

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 ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

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.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, 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:

Comfort
Comfort

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, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old. With the help of elderly care in Lindon, UT, 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.

Healthy Living
Healthy Living

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.

Independence
Independence

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 an assisted living community. 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.

Cost and Convenience
Cost and Convenience

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 to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, can be 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 in Lindon, UT 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.

Empowers Seniors

Affordable Care Plans

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:

Veteran's Benefits
Veteran's Benefits

Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance

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.

Private Insurance
Private Insurance

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.

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

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.


Respite Care Lindon, UT

During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.

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 Lindon,UT 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.

 Caregivers Lindon, UT

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 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:

An assessment of your senior loved one

01

An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one to remain in their own home

02

Reviewing a detailed Care Plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs

03

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.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Lindon • Utah County’s high-tech revolution is spreading down Interstate 15.

In this small town between Orem and Pleasant Grove, real estate firm Newmark Grubb Acres is marketing a $200 million “Mountain Tech” commercial and industrial development.

Two multi-story buildings already have popped up on the west side of I-15 at the 600 North/Pleasant Grove boulevard exit.

“We feel we’re the next step in the expansion of Silicon Slopes,” said Newmark senior vice president Ben Richardson, using the nickname for the proliferation of technology companies in recent years in Lehi, nine miles to the north.

“We’re in the chase for companies of the Amazon-type culture,” he added.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Newmark Grubb ACRES commercial estate is marketing a $200 million development west of the Pleasant Grove Boulevard freeway interchange. The mixed-use development in Lindon is expected to eventually include office and industrial space spread over 10 buildings, including a food court off Pleasant Grove Boulevard at 600 North.

Richardson is marketing three business parks that are expected to eventually include 10 buildings with 650,000 square feet of Class A office and industrial space.

One 52,000-square-foot building is already in place, and its main tenant is Open Edge, a subsidiary of Global Payments that develops software to help clients customize and secure their payment systems.

A building just to the south will become home to Jive Communications, which provides over-the-cloud telecommunications services and hardware to companies and institutions.

“Utah is our home and Utah County is our sweet spot, our bread basket,” said Matthew Peterson, Jive’s chief marketing officer. He said 350 to 400 employees will occupy three of the building’s four stories when the consolidation of its operations is complete. The building is expected to be finished later this year.

“We had a lot of choices. … There’s awesome undeveloped property between Lehi and Spanish Fork,” Peterson said. But the Lindon property had room to grow and was just a couple of freeway stops away from the company’s primary source of employees, Utah Valley University in Orem, he said.

The mixed-use development in Lindon is expected to eventually include office and industrial space spread over 10 buildings, including a food court off Pleasant Grove Boulevard at 600 North.

Across a newly paved street from those two buildings, developer Mark Weldon is wrapping up approval from Lindon City for an office and warehouse complex with additional room for two restaurants. A key warehouse feature, said Newmark vice president Steve Anderson, will be its 32 feet of clearance — four feet more than the current standard height.

“We’re anticipating more companies will be requesting this kind of clearance in the future,” he said. “It allows for another complete level of pallets, increasing the storage by 25 percent. That lets companies plan for future growth.”

The buildings also are being equipped with extra electrical capacity. “We overpowered them to make sure that, if what a company does is power based, we can provide anything that tenant requires,” Richardson said.

Developer Weldon has done most of his work in Tampa, Fla., where his company, WICP Commercial Properties is based. According to its website, WICP owns and manages 750,000 square feet of warehouse space and 300,000 square feet of office space.

After buying a home in Park City, Weldon started looking around at Wasatch Front development patterns and available land. In Lindon, Richardson said, “he found a piece of bank-owned land at a very good price” and snapped it up.

Lindon City officials are encouraged by Weldon’s plan, seeing it as a catalyst for more development along the road known as 600 North west of I-15 and Pleasant Grove Boulevard to the east. Real-estate signs on multiple vacant parcels along both sides of that road indicate that the conversion of grazing fields into business complexes will be accomplished soon.

The mixed-use development in Lindon is expected to eventually include office and industrial space spread over 10 buildings, including a food court off Pleasant Grove Boulevard at 600 North.

“We’re excited to see some action around the [freeway] interchange,” said Lindon City Planner Hugh Van Wagenen. “Lindon and Pleasant Grove partnered to fund that interchange and both cities now are starting to see the fruits of those labors.”

The focus on high-tech companies is well placed, said Jive’s Peterson, who anticipates “a natural expansion of these types of buildings up along I-15. We pay taxes and have high-paying jobs. We expect the skyline to change around here.”

Utah Puzzle Company Experiences An Explosion Of Sales

LINDON, Utah — Life is often about finding that missing piece. For Eric Dowdle, everything came together when he turned his love of painting into a puzzle company that’s finding success beyond any piece of art he’s created.“I love doing it,” Dowdle said while holding a paintbrush in his Utah County studio. “Every day, I’d draw pictures in church.

LINDON, Utah — Life is often about finding that missing piece. For Eric Dowdle, everything came together when he turned his love of painting into a puzzle company that’s finding success beyond any piece of art he’s created.

“I love doing it,” Dowdle said while holding a paintbrush in his Utah County studio. “Every day, I’d draw pictures in church. I’d draw pictures of my brothers. It wasn’t until later that I discovered folk art, and folk art’s a great storytelling type of art.”

Dowdle’s constantly either hopping on or hopping off a plane, traveling the world in search of those stories to tell. Along with his party of painters, he illustrates his adventures.

“Folk art, to me, is the interaction between people and their environment,” he said. “Cities, or events, sporting events, the Kentucky Derby, the circus — anything where people get together and interact because what they’re looking at is really cool.”

Dowdle’s travels often center around finding those places and those events to bring to life in his art — but turning his love into a livelihood required some creativity.

“Nobody’s sitting in art school going ‘Puzzles. That’s where it’s at,'” he said.

His company, Dowdle Folk Art, has carved out a chunk of a crowded market.

“We’re a new puzzle company,” Dowdle said. “There’s some big ones that have been around for 75 or a hundred years.”

Dowdle never seems to sit still — he jokes that he’s been accused of “never shutting up” — but current circumstances have compelled him to stay put.

“This is the longest I’ve been at home,” he said. “My wife’s starting to look at me like ‘Don’t you need to go somewhere?'”

Travel is off the table, leaving Dowdle uneasy.

“I start to analyze the business and the company,” he said.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic hitting cities around the globe, companies are confronting complications — meaning his business could easily be filled with the stereotypical starving artists.

“You can feel like tomorrow’s the last day of your life, or the beginning of the rest of your life, I don’t know,” he said.

But in a world turned upside down, the world is turning to Dowdle.

“The shippers called first of all because they come in in the morning. They look online (and) they’re like, ‘Well, that’s got to be wrong,'” he said.

The company actually had to investigate to see if their orders were legitimate.

“Christmas is the big time,” Dowdle said. “And usually in January, it tapers off.”

Every order was real. Dowdle’s company beat their sales from November and December of last year in just three days — and on a random Sunday in March, online sales weren’t double or triple their normal amount, but 42 times more.

“We’re just holding on for dear life,” he said. “We may run out of puzzles, who knows? We don’t even have to do sales. People are just like ‘Give me a puzzle. Now.'”

The company’s added a whole new shift of employees just to keep up. They keep around 250,000 puzzles on hand in their warehouse, but sales are causing them to burn through their supply. The factory that manufactures their puzzles is located in Indiana and is currently shut down. Once they reopen, Dowdle and his employees are hoping to work with them to ramp up production, just to keep ahead of the constant demand.

“Costco’s always calling us,” said Dowdle. “Walmart has been going crazy with the sales of puzzles. They’re going, ‘We could not have predicted this, just like anybody else, and please send us a pallet of puzzles now.”

The reason is clear: with many stuck inside, they’re turning to what’s familiar.

“Nobody buys emergency artwork, but the puzzle is three hours of engagement,” Dowdle said. “There’s only so many hours to play video games, and it’s just another piece of diversity in your day.”

And with travel in a holding pattern, Dowdle thinks his puzzles offer an opportunity to reflect on past trips and look ahead to new ones.

“We’re reintroducing some of the memories that they’ve made throughout their lives,” he said. “The kids aren’t in school, so they’re taking the kids to Barcelona, to Rome — they’re doing these puzzles, and they’re talking.”

Someday, the world will return to what it was, and Dowdle will hop on a plane and head to his next city. But he hopes these days push people to remember what’s important in life and to realize that missing piece may have been sitting right in front of us all along.

“We don’t always have to be out and doing something amazing,” Dowdle said. “We can just listen to our children, play a game in the backyard. This is a time when everybody’s going to recalibrate their lives.”

Florence, Italy, is just one of the many cities Dowdle’s puzzles depict.

Man files lawsuit against Lindon, city refuses plan to turn home into recovery facility

(KUTV) -- A Utah man has filed a lawsuit against the city of Lindon after it refused his desire to transform his home into a residential recovery facility.

George E. Harper owns a residential treatment center in Mapleton known as Maple Mountain Recovery and is now seeking to open a similar group home at 1422 East 155 South in Lindon. However, his lawsuit claims violations of the Fair Housing Act in connection to Lindon's refusal to grant reasonable accommodations to the group home for recovery addicts, stated in a press release from Tuesday.

The denial of request for reasonable accommodation is illegal since it violates the Fair Housing Act. As a result of Lindon's refusal to accommodate individuals protected under the law, Harper has been damaged.

Harper acquired the Lindon residence sometime prior to November 2017 and communicated with Lindon City Planning Commissioner Hugh Van Wagenen about his use of the residence as a home for recovering addicts. Around Nov. 16, 2017, Harper submitted a site plan, house plans and an application for a conditional use permit, including the $500 fee to Lindon.

Sometime after Harper's application, Lindon advised Harper that it was in the process of updating its municipal code and that the application would be considered under the new forthcoming standards. Harper supplemented his initial application and provided letters from Clinical Director Hanna LaBaron and Craig Ramsey, LMFT, regarding the therapeutic need to have a capacity of at least 16 residents.

By a time before August, Lindon updated or supplemented its municipal code with respect to residential care facilities. On Aug. 16, a reasonable accommodation hearing was met before Van Wagenen. Harper appeared at the hearing and provided information relating to the residence.

Harper didn't repeat or read each piece of evidence; but, advised Van Wagenen that it was the appropriate standard to apply to the request for reasonable accommodations. However, Lindon didn't apply the standard and instead created its own "standard of proof."

In his decision on Aug. 24, Van Wagenen stated that Harper failed to meet the burden of proof regarding the need of having 16 potential occupants and cited that "no site plan has been provided." when it was submitted to him in person back in November 2017. Additionally, Van Wagenen cited that no business license had been issued from the city as well.

The lawsuit states that Lindon is playing a game with its conflicting procedures to have a business license and a residential care facilities license, while ignoring the site plan and the statutory authority to issue a temporary license.

Harper advised the city that he could accommodate physically-disabled people at his other facility in Mapleton. Lindon indicated to Harper that he may need to install an elevator into the home and make other modifications as they deem necessary.

Harper is awaiting a jury trail at this time.

Residents hungry for independent healthcare flock to Lindon for $399 MRI services they can order for themselves, with no hidden fees

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the best methods for detecting soft tissue injury and other abnormalities and has a wide range of uses. However, MRI can carry a large financial burden with the average nationwide cost of $2611.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the best methods for detecting soft tissue injury and other abnormalities and has a wide range of uses. However, MRI can carry a large financial burden with the average nationwide cost of $2611. For many Utahns, insurance deductibles are high, which means much of the cost of initial assessment for pain or injury comes out of pocket. Initial doctor visits, X-rays and follow up appointments add to the cost and frustration with the health care system.

Kevin Taylor, MD, a Utah-native and board-certified radiologist decided this process was not beneficial to patients or medical professionals and he did something about it.

TaylorMED MRI in Lindon offers an MRI for a flat rate cash price of $399 and eliminates the need for a doctor’s order. This is an all inclusive price and includes the radiology report. This model allows patients to get their imaging done so that they can take their results to their first appointment with their medical professional and get right to making a plan for recovery.

“Our purpose is not for people to avoid seeing a licensed physician, we just want to get to a diagnosis faster and at a lower out-of-pocket expense,” Dr. Taylor said.

Money isn’t the only thing you save by choosing TaylorMED MRI. In contrast to some imaging centers and hospitals, convenient same-day and next day appointments are available saving valuable time. Low cost doesn’t equal poor quality either. TaylorMED MRI offers imaging on a 1.5T MRI machine which is the gold standard for MRI imaging, similar to what you find in hospitals and other imaging centers.

Latter-day Saint leaders announce Lindon Utah Temple site

After Latter-day Saint leaders announced the site of the Lindon Utah Temple on Monday morning, Mayor Jeff Acerson looked out the window of his sunroom at the property and talked about the area’s history and the significance of the arrival of a temple in his city.“We feel that communities are stronger as they focus on serving others, and I think The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represents that and really matches well with our community,” said Acerson, a church member who previously served as president o...

After Latter-day Saint leaders announced the site of the Lindon Utah Temple on Monday morning, Mayor Jeff Acerson looked out the window of his sunroom at the property and talked about the area’s history and the significance of the arrival of a temple in his city.

“We feel that communities are stronger as they focus on serving others, and I think The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represents that and really matches well with our community,” said Acerson, a church member who previously served as president of the Rome Italy Mission.

The temple site will be built on the Southeast corner of 800 East and Center Street in Lindon, the First Presidency announced in a brief news release. The Murdock Canal Trail winds along the site’s east border and will give those who walk and bike on the trail a magnificent view of the temple, Acerson said.

The property once was owned by the late Leon R. Walker, who served the church as a regional representative, president of the Concepción Chile Mission and president of the Missionary Training Center in Lima, Peru.

The site is about 14 acres, Acerson said, and currently includes two homes and farmland that has been used to grow tomatoes, zucchini and other crops each summer.

President Russell M. Nelson announced the Lindon Temple two months ago during the church’s fall general conference.

The temple will be constructed adjacent to Oak Canyon Junior High School and in the vicinity of Rocky Mountain Elementary. It also will be near a Latter-day Saint meetinghouse and a few blocks from the church’s Lindon Shared-Stake Family History Center.

The church release stated that the temple will be approximately 81,000 square feet. It did not issue a rendering of the exterior, but the release said one will be shared later.

A groundbreaking date has not been set.

Acerson said church and city officials will meet Tuesday to begin to coordinate construction planning.

The mayor resigned during his first term to serve as the Rome Italy Mission president and said he was there when the late President Thomas S. Monson announced the Rome Temple.

“For the Italians, it was one of those marvelous experiences. It was as if they had won World Cup in soccer,” he said. “It’s a wonderful day for Lindon now. We’re excited. I don’t know how many times I can say we’re excited.”

Hopes of a possible temple in Lindon initially seemed to dissipate in October 2019 when President Nelson announced a temple in neighboring Orem.

“When he said Lindon we were blown away,” Lindon Utah Stake President David Rutter told the Deseret News after the Lindon Temple announcement two months ago, “especially because we just had the announcement for the Orem Utah Temple last year, which is the district we were told we would be in. So yes, we were very humbled and grateful.”

The Orem Temple groundbreaking was held on Sept. 5 and construction is underway for what will be Utah County’s seventh temple.

Acerson said it soon became clear the church was looking for an additional temple site in Lindon for an eighth temple in the valley.

Utah now has 17 operating temples with five more under construction in Layton, Orem, Saratoga Springs, St. George (Red Cliffs Temple) and Taylorsville. Two additional temples in the state have been announced in Syracuse and Tooele Valley.

The church’s release said temples “differ from meetinghouses or chapels where members meet for Sunday worship services. Each temple is considered a house of the Lord where Jesus Christ’s teachings are reaffirmed through baptism and other ordinances that unite families for eternity. In the temple, church members learn more about the purpose of life and make covenants to follow Jesus Christ and serve their fellow man.”
