How does In-home Senior Care in Acampo, CA 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 Acampo, CA, 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 Acampo, CA 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 Acampo, CA

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 Acampo,CA 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 Acampo, CA

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.

ACAMPO – Some people living in a neighborhood in Acampo are under a mandatory evacuation order Monday, Jan. 16.

On Sunday, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office reported around 175 people voluntarily left their homes at the Arbor Mobile Home Park. Until the announcement, several people thought they could hunker down.

"When the power went out. I was in the shower, I was like, 'Ugh, darn it.' That does it," a resident said.

Neighbors say the water has yet to recede. Instead, several homes are quickly filling up.

The San Joaquin Sheriff said what is happening is the result of heavy rainfall causing localized flooding. Drivers nearby on Highway 99 came to a crawl with standing water.

Up the street from the mobile home park, neighbors are not under an evacuation order, but are also dealing with widespread flooding and evacuation warnings.

"If you see carefully, you can see the water – there's a pretty strong flow going south towards the fields over there," said Fernando Villalon.

For many people living in the area, it is almost déjà vu as they dealt with some flooding at the start of the new year.

"This is the highest we've ever had it. But it did flood New Year's Weekend," said Elias Desantiago, who lives on flooded E. Acampo Rd.

Meanwhile, some first-floor apartments are bracing for the worst.

"The water is coming up continuously, even though it's not raining. It's still coming up," said Larry Rayburn, the property manager.

An evacuation center is set up at the Lodi Grape Festival Grounds for those displaced. Around 50 people and 15-20 dogs were sleeping there Monday night, including Brad Hendrickson.

"At my driveway it's about a foot and a half, maybe two feet," he said.

Hendrickson, his wife, and two dogs were piled into a raft Monday by firefighters, under mandatory evacuation orders at Arbor Mobile Home Park.

"The National Guard truck took us through some water to where a bus picked us up," said Hendirckson.

They're now hunkering down for what could be days at the shelter in Lodi.

Police report at 13 families in the mobile home park ignored the orders to leave and stayed behind.

"They should have left," said Hendrickson.

San Joaquin County Supervisor Steve Ding says that decision strains first responders who will stay close by through the night in case anyone's life is in danger.

"It is a mandatory evacuation but you can't drag them out. If they decide to stay, that's what it is," said Ding. "As long as people stay in that park we do have to have resources on site that can not go somewhere else."

National guardsmen, police and firefighters will stay staged near E. Acampo Rd. overnight to watch for new flooding, close roads if needed, and continue knocking on doors warning neighbors in the most impacted areas. They are helping people evacuate if they choose to leave.

Two Lodi Unified schools, Houston School and Joe Serna Jr. Charter School, in this area are closed Tuesday, blocked by flooded roads.

How did a relatively new pump system in a San Joaquin County community not drain the floodwaters?

ACAMPO, Calif. —

As residents in the Acampo area of San Joaquin County continue to deal with the massive flooding that has impacted homes and closed schools, there are questions about why the relatively new drainage system in the area did not remove the floodwaters.

Fritz Buchman, director of the San Joaquin Public Works Department, told KCRA 3 that a nearly $2.5 million drainage and pump system – paid for with federal funding – was installed in 2019. Buchman said it was done in response to flooding in 2017. The system involves moving water around the perimeter of the community in a 42-inch drainage pipe, until the water eventually gets dumped into Gill Creek and the Mokelumne River.

So why did the drainage system not work during the flooding this week?

"We had a few challenges. This is the first big test of the system," Buchman said.

Buchman said the pump stopped working sometime between 5 p.m. Sunday and 10 a.m. Monday. During those hours, the floodwater impacted several spots in Acampo, including the Arbor Mobile Home Park and two Lodi Unified School District campuses, the Houston School and Joe Serna Jr. Charter School.

"Once we did get it back on, the watershed downstream of us was so saturated that we had to shut off the pumps for a while to let the system catch up," Buchman said. "We continued pumping until the fire department told us we needed to stop because we were causing downstream impacts."

One of those impacts was that the diverted water was getting onto Highway 99. The highway was shut down as a result of the flooding. Buchman said the pump was turned back on as of 7 a.m. Wednesday. He added that all the accumulated water in the area is expected to be gone by sometime Thursday. However, Buchman said the pumping of the floodwaters to the west will go on for several days.

Buchman said that the San Joaquin Public Works Department knew that the drainage system implemented in 2019 would not be a "silver bullet." Now, after this week’s flooding, he said the county will look at what improvements and changes can be made.

"We have identified some future phases that we need to secure funding for, and we'll work with the community to see how we implement next phases to further reduce flood risks," Buchman said.

That could potentially include looking at a way to bolster the downstream system, which is what got extremely overwhelmed by the flooding this week, Buchman said, who explained that everything is just conceptual at this point, and whatever future plans are made will likely cost millions of dollars.

As the county figures out what to do, residents in Acampo were still wading through the floodwaters Wednesday night. A neighborhood near Harvest and Frontage roads still had entire backyards submerged. Homeowners, including Maria Casarez-Asuncion, said neighbors banded together to buy pipes and supplies and pump the water out themselves. Casarez-Ascuncion's basement is flooded, and if the water had risen just a few more inches, more of her home could have been damaged.

"I was just crying and rocking back and forth. I closed it down. I started putting stuff up, I started taking the chair and save what I could because this all me, this is my house," Casarez-Asuncion said.

She said she wants the county to work on fixing the drainage and pump system, something she relied on to help her community.

"They need to go back, open what they did, fix it right, because this can happen again, and we’re not going to tolerate that," Casarez-Ascuncion said. "I was hurt, I was crying. Now I’m angry."

San Joaquin County Public Works Department installed a $2.5 million drainage, pump system in 2019

ACAMPO, Calif. — Jose Fernandez, like many Acampo residents, was stunned by the flood waters that suddenly appeared in the dark early Monday morning.

"I have my backyard, my little shed - everything is flooded, everything. I don't know what happened," said Fernandez.

Just over 24 hours later as the rain stopped and the sun peeked through the clouds, home after home is still surrounded by water.

"It didn't get into my house. It got in the neighbor's house here and the neighbor's in the back," said Acampo homeowner Bruce Lemos.

A few years ago, the San Joaquin Public Works Department put in a brand new pump system to protect Acampo from flood waters. But, some people say it didn't work.

"They should have let all the water go to the underpass. Let it fill up there. Divert the traffic. People wouldn't have got flooded," said Lemos, who has lived at his home 34 years.

In 2019, the San Joaquin County Public Works Department installed a nearly $2.5 million drainage, pump system. Complete with an underground storage sump pump facility, it collected water into drains along roads in neighborhoods that was meant to be diverted away from town.

"Starting New Year's Eve, we had a big storm and it caused a surge of water into Acampo New Years Day," said San Joaquin County Public Works Director Fritz Buchman.

He said power knocked out the pump system for hours on New Year's Eve before a generator restarted the system. That, coupled with the series of relentless storms and a huge surge of water into Acampo Monday morning, made the decision on where to pump the excess water difficult.

"Because of the downstream flooding conditions, we had turn off the pumps for awhile because we were starting to threaten the freeway. And then at one point, Caltrans said a couple hours later... 'You know what, go ahead and continue pumping, and we're going to close the freeway.' And that happened sometime late yesterday," said Buchman.

As of noon Tuesday, Buchman said the pumps were shut off again due to the threats of structures downstream.

"We knew this wasn't going to be a silver bullet that would totally solve the flooding out there. But I tell you because we had the system in place, it's a lot better than it would have been if we didn't have it," he said.

Making the system better can't come soon enough for those who are living through this nightmare disaster.

"Overall, I think it was overwhelming, too much water...," said Lemos.

Buchman said there is "more work to do."

"We intend to reach out to the community about future phases of flood control improvements that can be done. We also learned more with this event. This event was arguably bigger than the 2017 (event)," said Buchman, referring to flooding that year."

"We learned more about the limitations of our ability to convey drainage down stream of this project," he added.

Residents in Acampo neighborhood hit by damaging floodwaters

ACAMPO, Calif. — Residents in the small San Joaquin County community of Acampo are recovering from flooding not seen in the area for decades.

"I was asleep, and I woke up and in my house was water," said Acampo resident Mary Harmon.

Clutching her three-month-old baby Jessie, Harmon could only stare at flood waters that engulfed her home in the middle of the night.

"I got off my bed and I stepped in water, and I looked around and I said, 'The house is flooding,'" said Harmon.

Harmon's roommate, Samantha Williams, showed off a portion of the inside of the home where water crept in. The front room and carpet were soaked.

Sandbags positioned below doorways were no match for the historic deluge.

"It's cleansing the earth. We just need to get it out of the house. I don't mind it out here, just not in the house," added Williams, lightheartedly.

Longtime Acampo residents say it floods here, but they've never seen it flood here this bad. Dozens of homes have been flooded in some way or another in at least a three-block area.

Flood waters entered Connie Bowles home around 5 a.m.

"I heard the dogs. Anyhow, I know why the dogs were barking, because of the rain, the flood," said Bowles.

Nearly everywhere you turn, home after home is flooded. The corner store and the elementary school are also encircled by water.

Ronnie Suko's home was spared by the flood waters, but just barely. Three days earlier, a tree crashed onto his home and totaled his wife's car.

"We've been through this before, but not this bad. I just feel for everybody whose house got flooded," said Suko, standing in galoshes in the middle of East Cooper Road.

Ironically three years ago, the San Joaquin County Public Works Department installed a nearly $2.5 million drainage system.

Complete with an underground storage sump pump facility, it was created to protect the neighborhood from floods. But, upset homeowners like Pam Walker said it didn't work this time.

"They need somebody out here in charge to take control of this," said Walker, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Walker cares for her husband who is handicapped.

With no outside help in the early morning, it was neighbor helping neighbor with an army of generators to pump away water.

For now, this catastrophe of historic proportions will mean a major cleanup for residents here in the weeks and months ahead.

We put in a call to the San Joaquin County Public Works Department to respond to residents complaints, however the call has not yet been returned.

ACAMPO, Calif. —

San Joaquin County declared a local state of emergency due to ongoing storms in the region.

Declaring an emergency opens up more resources for relief and aid to those impacted by disaster, and with another atmospheric river rolling in, heavy rain and powerful winds are expected.

The county's Public Works Department says it has crews patrolling 24 hours a day through Tuesday to monitor, assess and respond to any issues that occur.

"Specifically in Acampo, we are monitoring rainfall in the north county area and wind conditions, which lead to fallen trees that can impact the availability of power," David Tolliver, the department's deputy director of operations, said. "We have mobile backup generators ready to move at a moment’s notice should it become necessary."

Watch Below | Why did a relatively new pump system not drain the floodwaters from Acampo?

Tolliver also said river levels are projected to remain below flood stage over the next several days, so the county expects this storm's impacts on flooding to be "relatively modest." He does not believe the area's pump system will need to be activated.

The county is monitoring levees and local reclamation districts. Fallen trees damaging levees is a concern in windy conditions.

County officials want to remind drivers to never drive through flooded roadways, and to over road closures.

Although mass flooding is not expected in the Acampo area, residents of the Arbor Mobile Home Park tell KCRA 3 they are preparing for this next round of weather.

The park was heavily flooded during the January storms. Many had to be evacuated from the community for more than a week after feet-deep flood waters took over the roadways and blocked all the park's entrances and exits.

KCRA 3 on Monday spoke to someone who is still not able to move back into her home as repairs are still underway.

"My biggest concern is having to leave again," Michael Burks, another resident, said.

Burks was evacuated from his home as floodwaters crept toward his mobile home.

One of his neighbors, Benjamin Wilcox, chose to stay behind to help his elderly neighbors.

He now is prepared with a generator, power cords, fuel, water and food just in case.

"My major concern is with the warm rain — we had a couple days ago, all the snow that will be melted," Wilcox said. "I hope we don't flood two times in a quarter, but it is what it is. We'll come back stronger like we continue to do."
