How does In-home Senior Care in Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge, 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 Woodbridge,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.

At question for Jayson Woodbridge is 80 acres of hillside land on two parcels in Calistoga that "was utterly destroyed by the Glass Fire."

NAPA COUNTY, CA — A famed North Bay winemaker is suing Napa County over what he claims is overreach regarding an "experimental" vineyard project on land burned in the 2020 Glass Fire.

Jayson Woodbridge, who owns Hundred Acre Wine Group LLC, filed the suit Thursday in Napa County Superior Court in an effort to prevent the county from enforcing environmental regulations he says don't apply to the project.

At question is 80 acres of hillside land on two parcels along Pickett Road in Calistoga that "was utterly destroyed by the Glass Fire," according to the suit.

Prior to the fire, the property hosted various types of vegetation, including "manzanitas, bay trees, and scrub, and a small number of oak and digger pine trees," all of which were wiped out, the suit claims.

A year after the fire, Woodbridge removed the remains of the dead trees "from a small portion of the property nearest to the roadway and surviving structures," according to the suit.

Find out what's happening in Napa Valleywith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Because the removal didn't involve excavation and was "solely for the purpose of mitigating what had become a charred, unsafe and unsightly landscape," it doesn't meet the earth moving or disturbing definition in the county's conservation regulations nor does it constitute vegetation clearing or removal since all the trees were dead, the suit says.

The county believes those activities did, in fact, violate portions of its conservation code and that "virtually any activity undertaken on the property ... is subject to control under the Conservation Regulations and requires an Erosion Control Plan," according to the suit.

In May of this year, Woodbridge added an "experimental, non-erosive" dry-farmed vineyard to the land, which the county also believes violated conservation regulations and should be subject to an erosion control plan, the suit says.

Woodbridge again contends, however, that the regulations don't apply because he used techniques to install the vineyard that don't disturb the soil.

"The method involves placing a small, bottomless vessel on the ground, and filling that vessel with compost and a single rootstock," the suit says. "The rootstock then grows through the compost and roots into the soil without any tilling, drilling, or other soil disturbing activities."

The county wants Woodbridge to hire a scientist to create a vegetation map of the property, meet with county regulators to go over agricultural plans for the area, hire a qualified professional to develop an agricultural site plan and apply for an erosion control plan or prepare a restoration plan, according to the suit.

The county "is threatening to penalize plaintiff for clearing from its property the dead, charred remains of trees incinerated by the 2020 Glass Fire ... to prevent plaintiff from planting a unique, experimental, dry-farmed vineyard using novel, non-erosive techniques that do not disturb any of the soils on plaintiff's land, and instead force plaintiff to 'revegetate' the land with the same type of high-fire-risk trees that fueled the 2017 and 2020 wildfires," the suit claims.

The suit also claims that the county applies its conservation regulations unevenly throughout its jurisdiction, engages in "selective enforcement" and violated Woodbridge's right to due process by, in part, failing to provide any meaningful procedure for challenging the way the regulations have been applied to his vineyard.

In addition to court costs and attorney's fees, Woodbridge is asking the court to find that he didn't violate county codes and to stop the county from enforcing the conservation regulations with regards to his removal of the "fire-killed trees" and the introduction of the vineyard.

David Morrison, director of the county's Department of Planning, Building and Environmental Services, declined to comment on the lawsuit.

A case management conference has been set for March 15, 2023.

(KTXL) — Caltrans District 10 announced on Wednesday morning that parts of Highway 99 have reopened after being closed since Monday.

All southbound lanes have reopened along Highway 99 and a single northbound lane has reopened Woodbridge Road.

In other parts of the county, more than two dozen roads were closed in sections due to continued flooding and other impacts caused by the most recent storms to hit Northern California.

The largest closure in the area is Lower Sacramento Road from Peltier Road to Woodson Road.

Flooding in this area caused the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office to issue a mandatory evacuation of the Arbor Mobile Home Park in Acampo.

Other closures include:

– Kennefick Road from Liberty Road to the north end of Kennefick Road

– Bruella Road from Liberty Road to the north end of Bruella Road

– Elliot Road from Liberty Road to Sacramento County Line

– Jahant Road from Dustin Road to Kennefick Road

– Jack Tone Road from Collier Road to Jahant Road

– 99 East Frontage Road from Harvest Road to Peltier Road

– Acampo Road from East Highway 99 Frontage Road to Kennefick Road

– Woodbridge Road from 99 Frontage Road to Hildebrand Road

– Clements Road from Highway 88 to Acampo Road

– Johnson Road from highway 12 to Acampo Road

– Kettleman Lane from Alpine Road to Locust Tree Road

– Lower Sacramento Road (North Bound) from Armstrong Road to Harney Lane

Flooding also affected much of southeastern San Joaquin County in the area around the city of Tracy.

One of the largest road closures is along Corral Hollow Road from I-580 to the Alameda County Line due to a mud slide.

Other closures in the area include:

– Patterson Pass Road from I-580 to the Alameda County Line

– Schulte Road from Lammers Road to 1000 feet west toward Tracy City Limits

– MacArthur Road from Linne Road to south end of MacArthur Road

– Chrisman Road from West Linne Road to Durham Ferry Road

– Durham Ferry Road from Chrisman Road to Bird Road

– Linne Road from Chrisman Road to Banta Road

– Durham Ferry Road from State Route 33 to Bevis Road

– Kasson Road from Linne Road to 1000 feet east of Mancuso Road

– Blewett Road from Bird Road to I-5 (overpass/California Aqeduct)

WOODBRIDGE, Calif. —

Two very different scenes near Woodbridge paint a picture of the magnitude and impact recent storms are having in and around the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley regions.

A miles-long backup of vehicles could be seen beside the Woodbridge Road bridge overlooking Highway 99.

Some drivers were seemingly frustrated as they tried to cut around the line of traffic.

Portions of the highway were closed due to heavy flooding, making it impossible for any vehicles to roll through. Southbound lanes of Highway 99 reopened early Wednesday morning.

Caltrans officials closed multiple ramps between Turner Road in Lodi and Peltier Road in Acampo over the last few days as the flood expanded.

Just feet away on the highway, multiple maintenance crews raced back and forth wearing hard hats and rain gear as they tried to clear out water from the large pool that formed.

Two large pumps are pumping water out of the affected area, sending it southbound along the roadway through steel pipes to be redeposited into the Mokelumne River.

It’s a difficult task, officials say, but it makes all the difference for the safety of drivers. Just on the end of a bridge, a semi-truck had tipped over on its side at a flooded corner.

Skip Allum, a spokesperson for Caltrans District 10, shared a warning for drivers.

“Know before you go. If you do see some flooded areas on the highways, roadways, turn around, don’t drown,” Allum said. “It’s very difficult to tell how deep that water is, standing water in standing locations.”

Allum says it’s too soon to tell if and how Wednesday’s oncoming rainfall will hinder cleanup efforts, but so far, some progress has been made.

Caltrans workers told KCRA that water levels on the highway are receding at roughly half an inch every two hours. Their early estimates are that it may reopen in a couple of days depending on conditions.

So far, no reopen date has been set, and drivers are being asked to stay clear of the area unless absolutely necessary.

Maintenance crews are to continue monitoring the water levels but are also tasked with vegetation work and clearing drains.

More rain is expected on Wednesday, and Allum says crews still have a lot of work ahead.

But drivers aren’t the only ones struggling with the impacts.

A lifeline

Neighbors laughed with Bruce Lemos on Tuesday as he hauled a large blue inflatable raft around his flooded yard.

Lemos and dozens of other Acampo Road residents found their homes surrounded by knee-deep water.

It’s his first time using the raft, which was originally bought for camping.

His mission with the raft now, he says, is to be prepared to jump into action in case water levels rise and help fellow neighbors in need.

“It got flooded really bad but, I got my raft here for my neighbors,” Lemos said. “This is the last hope. And for the worst-case scenario.”

Next door, his neighbor Saul Lopez treaded through the water that engulfed his property.

A thick layer of water extended from a field across the street to his front and back yards. Lopez could only describe the scene as a “lake.”

Garbage and plastic bottles from unknown locations had washed up onto their front yard and doorway.

Lopez said he and his wife are currently caring for an elderly relative inside the home. Although they are thankful no impact was seen inside their home other than not being able to use their bathroom, their biggest concern was for that relative.

“It’s just a nuisance,” Lopez said. “It can be a pain really, getting emergency services out here when they’re already short, going everywhere, especially the Woodbridge area.”

Just blocks away in the Woodbridge area, emergency crews evacuated residents from their flooded homes by the truckload.

Some said they’d been unable to leave their homes for days because of how deep the surrounding water is.

There to help were law enforcement, Office of Emergency Services teams, and even the San Joaquin Regional Transit District, which helped evacuate more than 60 people who were forced from their homes.

Some were taken to a nearby shelter while others described being low on funds because of the hotel stays they are paying for.

One mother pointed out a local school her child attends, which is now closed due to flooding.

Seeing sunken cars, large garbage bins floating at their doorstep, and treading in leg-deep water to retrieve what little belongings they had left was not the way most of these residents imagined their new year would be.

Residents are unsure what the near future holds for them. Still, many are trying to keep up their good spirits and say they are grateful to have others looking out for them.

“I hope that the people who are having it worse than us can get the help they need,” Lopez said.

Woodbridge High places third, OC students earn honors at the California Academic Decathlon

With months of academic decathlon preparation in the books, Orange County students reached new heights, placing among the top scorers at the 44th annual California Academic Decathlon on March 25.

After winning its sixth Orange County Academic Decathlon championship in seven years, Irvine’s Woodbridge High School clinched yet another third-place title at the state contest, where students showcased their knowledge in subjects like science, art, economics and mathematics. Also earning distinction were teams from Valencia, University, Kennedy and Westminster high schools, as well as Fairmont Preparatory Academy.

This year’s event — themed “The American Revolution and the New Nation” — invited student teams from 59 high school campuses to compete for the best scores in each division and a spot in the national competition. Throughout the 10-event decathlon, students participated individually and with their teammates by completing multiple-choice exams, essays, speeches and interviews.

The nine-student team from Woodbridge took third place in Division 1 with a total of 46,378.4 points, topping its first-place score at the county decathlon in February. Placentia’s Valencia High finished in 11th place in the same division, with University High in Irvine just two spots behind in 13th.

In Division 2, students from Kennedy High in La Palma racked up 44,225.8 points, which placed them first in their division and fifth overall. In fact, their score was more than 10,000 points higher than their total from the county decathlon. Fairmont Preparatory Academy in Anaheim and Westminster High also distinguished themselves as the top two teams in Division 3. A complete list of the decathlon’s winners can be found on the California Academic Decathlon website.

“It was very exciting to see so many of our Orange County students up on the big screens at the state awards ceremony and to see our schools win an impressive total of 84 individual medals and six team award trophies,” said Orange County Department of Education Coordinator Kristin Rigby. “This is one of the most successful competitions our county has ever had.”

Woodbridge’s academic decathlon coach Mike Nakaue said his students were “ecstatic and overjoyed” to be recognized with third place in both overall team scores and the high-energy Super Quiz event.

“The mantras ‘Keep improving’ and ‘Never enough’ kept them driving on to the end,” Nakaue said.

El Camino Real Charter High School in Los Angeles, which finished in second place last year, won the 2023 competition with 52,384.7 points, while last year’s champion, Granada Hills Charter High School, scored just 363 fewer points to place second. As the state champion, El Camino Real will travel to Texas in April to complete in the U.S. Academic Decathlon Nationals.

Hosted in Santa Clara, this year’s event returned to an in-person format that was both fast-paced and high-stakes.

“Like a March Madness basketball game, you see the ups and downs of emotion in students with the in-person academic competition,” Nakaue said. “The journey for this team has come to an end but the work ethic and self-discipline they developed I am certain will carry over into other aspects of their lives.”

The Academic Decathlon was founded and created by former Orange County Superintendent Dr. Robert Peterson in 1968, who envisioned a “decathlon of studies” as a prisoner during World War II. Ever since, high school teams made up of nine students have competed at the county, state and national levels in scholastic competitions based on an annual theme.

Each team must be made up of three “Honor” students (those with GPAs of 3.80 and above), along with three “Scholastic” students (GPAs of 3.20 to 3.79) and three “Varsity” students (GPAs of 3.199 and below).

Thousands of San Joaquin County residents still without power

STOCKTON, Calif. — The series of historic, atmospheric river storms that relentlessly pounded Northern California are still wreaking havoc for thousands of San Joaquin County residents.Inside the Stockton home of Linda Pate, power is out and food in her freezer and refrigerator is going to waste."We stayed here a couple nights, but it was just too cold.

STOCKTON, Calif. — The series of historic, atmospheric river storms that relentlessly pounded Northern California are still wreaking havoc for thousands of San Joaquin County residents.

Inside the Stockton home of Linda Pate, power is out and food in her freezer and refrigerator is going to waste.

"We stayed here a couple nights, but it was just too cold. When you're under the covers it's nice and warm, but when you get up, it's freezing," said Pate, who lives with her son.

Remnants of the storms' wrath can be seen everywhere. Some fallen trees still block some streets or are at rest in yards across Stockton.

In turn, several blocks near the city's historic Oak Park have been without power in some cases since New Year's Eve.

The Gil family has been using a generator, but it can only power two heaters or a heater and refrigerator at once.

"I'm not really too crazy about it. As long as we have food to eat and water to drink, it's all OK," said 15-year-old Jesus Ventura.

Just north of Stockton in Woodbridge, PG&E crews are replacing broken power poles destroyed by fallen trees, wind and rain.

More than 1,300 PG&E workers, along with crews from power company Southern California Edison, are working to reenergize lines to thousands in the Greater Stockton area without power.

"The storm just knocked down a line or something," said Woodbridge resident Robin Lish.

Lish said power to her Woodbridge home went out Monday night. Now, she uses candles for light and her barbecue grill to make coffee.

"I couldn't take a shower, but not so bad," said Lish, who has no hot water.

Her landlord Michelle Christ-Brandt owns nine properties in Woodbridge. She rents to mostly older tenants.

"Many of the tenants don't drive too many places, so they don't go in and out, in and out, but I am going to make a trip to the grocery store later today and make sure I've got something to do around so everybody has something in the cooler," said Christ-Brandt.

PG&E is hoping to have power back on for many residents in San Joaquin County by 8:00 p.m. tonight.

So far, PG&E said the power is back on for more than 468,000 customers.
