Home Care In Provo, UT

Home Care Provo, UT

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic The Octagon House gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Provo, UT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

TESTIMONIALS

“I have used the services of Always Best Care since Sept. 2021. I have been very pleased with the attentive care they have given my husband. They have been flexible, accommodating, and gone the extra mile helping with my husband's needs. As an example, I was away for the day and I was called by the caregiver that my husband was not doing well. I came home and we decided to take him to the emergency room. The caregiver came with us and stayed at the hospital for hours. He was released with the medication he needed for his recovery and she helped bring him home and get him settled before she left. This was way into the night and passed her normal working hours. One of my requests before hiring on a Senior Service was that the caregivers enjoyed their job and enjoyed working with challenging patients. I use their service six days a week and every caregiver has been kind, compassionate, and hard working. I really have been pleased.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Provo, UT?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Provo, UT
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Block Restaurant or visit Provo West Coop, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

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 Provo, 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 Elderly Care Provo, UT

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 UT's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Provo, UT

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 Provo, 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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Provo, UT

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Provo, UT

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • Provo Assisted Living PAL Provo's Premier Assisted Living Facility
  • BeeHive Homes of Provo
  • Country View Assisted Living
  • Legacy Village of Provo
  • Courtyard at Jamestown Assisted Senior Living
  • Rocky Mountain Care River Pointe Assisted Living
Home Care Provo, UT

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.

PROVO, Utah (KUTV) — A new $4 million park officially opened on the west side of Provo.

It provides easy access to the Provo River Delta, and officials said it's an investment in the preservation of the area.

The park is 3.4 acres and is an access point for nearly 300 acres of the Provo River Delta.

MORE | Provo:

"I like that it's next to water; the kids have some place to play where it's really hot, so it's nice to actually be able to go to a park during the day," said Savannah Easterling, a Provo resident.

The Delta Gateway Park opened to the public on Wednesday.

"The Delta Gateway Park is a community park for Provo City residents and visitors to come and enjoy a playground, restrooms, a pavilion, a nice lawn space, and a beautiful outdoor classroom space," said John Bunderson, Parks, Planning, and Project Manager for Provo Parks and Recreation.

"In 1992, the legislation was passed in the federal government for the Delta Restoration Project, and the park was named as part of that, but the formalized plans have been going for the last six years," Bunderson said.

14 months ago, they broke ground. As of Friday, people are already reaping the benefits.

The project came with a bill of a little more than $4 million. A mix of federal, state, and local funds covered the tab, including some money from Provo's Recreation, Arts, and Parks Tax.

"The primary funding source was the Utah Lake Mitigation Conservation Commission — little over $3 million in funding from them; $750,000 in funding came from the state of Utah Outdoor recreation grant funding; and about $50,000 from Central Utah Water Conservancy District for the interpretive signage on the site; and then, Provo's Recreation Art and Parks (RAP) tax funding finished up the remainder of the funding on the project," Bunderson said.

This is Provo's 60th park. For comparison, Salt Lake City has roughly 100 parks, and Ogden has 40.

2News asked people at the park Friday if they thought this was a good investment for the city to make.

"Oh, 100%. I would much rather see my tax dollars go towards parks and the schools than putting in stop lights or just where it's like one after another," Easterling said, "Or just paying politicians' paychecks."

"The best thing I can say for those who visit is that this is all free for the users. Amazing preservation of shade trees in the area, lots of walking paths to explore, and you can find contemplative space down here," Bunderson said.

The park is in partnership with the Provo River Delta Restoration Project, whose mission is to restore the natural ecosystem there and help recover the threatened "June Sucker" fish.

Provo exhibit seeks to explore alleged Sasquatch sightings in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — Have you ever seen a larger-than-life figure walking through your neck of the woods? A new Provo exhibit seeks to explore Sasquatch sightings in Utah.

Tales of the mysterious and unexplainable can be found throughout the Beehive State.

“This involves Bigfoot, lake monsters, ghost lore, lost love traditions,” said local folklorist Danny B. Stewart.

Stewart says he collected 400 pieces of original folklore on his own throughout the years.

“I get great satisfaction when I find a new story, because I know I’ve found something that I can preserve,” Stewart said.

It’s what inspired another local, Logan Wolf, to trace the steps of the Sasquatch and create a historical timeline for Bigfoot in Utah.

“I’m not a Bigfoot hunter by any means,” said Wolf. “I mean we’ve got so many great state and national parks, I think you get removed from civilization and your mind just begins to kind of wander,” Wolf said.

The exhibit wanders - from a “See-atch” spirit found by the indigenous.

“I was in contact with the Southern Ute nation, and it’s not Bigfoot or Sasquatch - but it is Bigfoot-esque,” said Wolf.

Dozens of sightings over the past five decades. Wolf tells me there are more stories he’s dug up than he can fit in the Provo library - each tale of the elusive creature captivating Utahn minds.

One such instance in Provo’s foothills in 2019 earned its spot on Wolf’s wall of selected sightings. A FOX 13 News report on the sighting at the time amassed 1.6 million views on YouTube.

Whether they’re real or not is a question that doesn’t concern these experts.

“I don’t care if any of this is true - I mean, I do,” said Stewart. “Of course we’d all love Bigfoot to be true.”

“The idea of reality, I think, lies a lot more squarely in our experiences,” said Andrew Kosorok, who spoke on a panel Friday evening that was tied to the installation.

They say it’s those feelings that stay with someone who sees a sasquatch that connect us as a community.

“We tell these stories over and over again and we pass them down generation to generation,” Stewart said.

Oral history that Logan Wolf put to paper, to help leave a big footprint on our collective culture.

“My posture with this is not to come down hard one way or the other - just let people see the stories and the timeline and come to their own conclusions,” Wolf said.

The Bigfoot in Utah exhibit is only around for this weekend.

If you're interested in seeing Wolf’s exploration of the unknown, you can find it on the second floor of the Provo City Library through Saturday.
