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.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Phoenix, AZ?

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.

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 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.

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. 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 Phoenix, AZ

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. 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:

Age in Place

According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.

Peace of Mind

If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.

Socialization

Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.

Personalized Care Plan

No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.

Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

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 Phoenix, AZ, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your AZ's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.

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

Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.

Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.

Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Phoenix, AZ 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.

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

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.

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

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

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider

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 Phoenix, AZ 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

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.

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Homeowners at a Phoenix condo complex say they’re dealing with another sinkhole months after another one opened up in February.

They added they are frustrated with how the HOA and property managers handle repairs.

The latest sinkhole has been covered with metal plates but one homeowner said it was big enough for someone to stand in.

They added they still haven’t heard from the complex when the problem will be fixed and are now feeling trapped and unsafe in their own homes.

“It’s just a complete and utter negligence. I never imagined that something like this could ever happen,” said Steven Kwiat.

Kwiat has been a homeowner at the Parkside Condominiums on Bell Road in Phoenix for about seven years. He spoke with Arizona’s Family while standing just feet away from where a sinkhole appeared Monday morning.

“I’m worried about the safety of others, of people driving by or walking children and pets. I’m also worried about the community’s buildings,” he said.

Kwiat and his neighbor, Samuel Ybarra, said the water main under the road broke and flooded the streets. Then, a sinkhole popped up.

“Now, there’s a larger sinkhole that just showed up. And that’s sinkhole No. 3 now and sinkhole No. 2 is falling and collapsing again,” said Ybarra.

Ybarra said the first sinkhole opened up in 2022. However, he said the property managers and the HOA had it covered with metal plates, just like they did it for the others.

“I feel they treated this as if it’s just an eyesore and not a safety hazard or a loss of property hazard,” said Ybarra.

In February, residents reached out to Arizona’s Family for help. Our team emailed and called the City Property management company but didn’t hear back.

On Monday, we walked into the office and were told they’ve been advised not to talk to us.

We also sent an email to the property managers before arriving at the office. We received one automatic reply stating the receiver was out of the office and would address their emails on 2/1/24.

“If they haven’t been talking to us homeowners for two years, they’re not going to talk to the news. They’re just not,” said Ybarra.

All the residents we spoke with want answers on how the sinkhole will be fixed and how soon it will be done.

The unknown brought Kwiat to tears. He worries the buildings will start falling into each other.

“It’s my home. I love my home and everything is just a mess right now. The community is not where it was,” said Kwiat.

There's a little secret at Little Miss BBQ, the Phoenix, Arizona eatery that's generated long lines and rave reviews since it began serving pecan- and oak-smoked beef, pork and poultry 10 years ago.

The not-so-secret is a sandwich called El Jefe, or "The Boss" in Spanish.

The dish demands devotion from anyone who dares to take on the job of eating it.

CELEBRITY CHEF MANEET CHAUHAN SERVES CULINARY HARMONY IN NASHVILLE WITH ‘TURDUCKEN OF DESSERTS’

The humongous El Jefe comes with a choice of brisket, pulled pork or turkey — paired with, of course, more meat. The second option is sliced smoked housemade sausage, with either mild or jalapeño cheddar.

The duet of deliciousness is piled onto a Hawaiian-style roll from Phoenix bakery Noble Bread and served with chilled coleslaw, pickles, onions and a choice of one of Little Miss BBQ's signature sauces.

"It's my personal favorite," Little Miss BBQ co-boss Bekke Holmes told Fox News Digital. "I love the tender meat with the house sausage that gives it that nice crispiness."

She took a deep breath and blurted out, "And then you got the warm meats contrasted by the cold coleslaw and then the crunch of the pickles, and then the sauce on top. It's like all your senses and taste buds get excited at the same time."

"I can say with certainty that when you come here, you will eat southwest BBQ at its best."

El Jefe is so boss it's not even listed on Little Miss BBQ's online takeout, delivery or catering menus.

"It's not real obvious we have it," admitted Holmes.

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO MAPPED THE US-MEXICO BORDER, GEN. WILLIAM EMORY, SHAPED NATION IN WAR AND IN PEACE

Raised in the pork band of America's barbecue belt in North Carolina, Holmes and her Arizona native husband, Scott, opened the original Little Miss BBQ on East University Drive in 2014.

It was an instant hit in the Phoenix food scene.

"I can say with certainty that when you come here, you will eat southwest BBQ at its best," national food guru and author Michael Stern of RoadFood.com fame wrote in an early review.

KANSAS CITY IS CHIEF AMONG BARBECUE CITIES: HERE'S WHY TAILGATE TOWN CROWNS CULINARY CHAMPS

Little Miss BBQ's national profile rose in early 2015, when food-loving football fans from around the United States descended on Phoenix for Super Bowl XLIX.

They stood in line outside the hottest new spot in the Valley of the Sun all week and declared it one of the game's biggest winners.

Jalapeño peppers are sprinkled generously throughout the menu, beyond just use as a spicy garnish.

The husband-and-wife team have since opened a second location in the Sunnyslope section of Phoenix.

The smoked meats are spectacular. But added allure comes from the southwestern flair that flavors Carolina-quality pork and Texas-worthy beef.

Cilantro offers a classic Mexican/southwestern herbal aromatic to Little Miss BBQ's coleslaw. Jalapeño peppers are sprinkled generously throughout the menu, beyond just use as a spicy garnish.

Little Miss BBQ also offers an array of barbecue burritos.

The chili in the green chile burritos is made with each of the eatery's smoked meats.

The burrito was "inspired by the amazing Sonoran food in Arizona's mining towns," according to the Little Miss BBQ website.

"Bekke's smoked pecan pie" headlines the dessert menu.

The 5-inch pies are made in house from an old family recipe handed down to Holmes by her North Carolina great-grandmother, Ethel Hitchcock, she said.
