How does In-home Senior Care in Norwood Young America, MN 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 Norwood Young America, MN, 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 Norwood Young America, MN 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

Aid and Attendance 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 Norwood Young America, MN

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 Norwood Young America,MN 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 Norwood Young America, MN

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.

Friday night I got a little too invested in a new Netflix series, Pepsi, Where's My Jet? which in and of itself is pretty interesting, at least for me. But there is a Minnesota connection to the story, that is brief but a small Minnesota town was playing a big part in the Pepsi Points/Harrier Jet story.

Get our free mobile app

Before letting you know what the Minnesota connection is, you have to understand what happened. Back in the mid-90s Pepsi began a promotion where you could accumulate points by purchasing Pepsi products, and then turn those points in for some Pepsi SWAG. It was a pretty awesome promotion that was heavily advertised. One commercial for the promotion listed some of the standard Pepsi swag that you could get in exchange for your points, like a leather jacket, sunglasses, and a t-shirt.

ADVERTISEMENT

Well, at the end of the commercial it listed a Harrier Jet, for 7 million Pepsi points. (that number was then changed to a larger amount later on) The entire time the ad was played early on, there was NO fine print, so one person, a 20-year-old from Washington purchased 7,000,000 Pepsi points for $700,000 and called Pepsi to the carpet, wanting his jet.

This is where the Minnesota connection comes in. The fulfillment center for the promotion had a PO Box in Young America, Minnesota.

TVShowTranscripts.com has a direct quote from the documentary when they reference Young America.

In the Pepsi Points catalog, there was an address for a PO box in Young America, Minnesota. Young America, Minnesota is the fulfillment house for a lot of these different competitions, whether it's Camel Bucks, the Marlboro Man, or Pepsi Points. - John in the Netflix Documentary Pepsi, Where's My Jet

Ultimately John went and hand-delivered the $700,000 check to the PO Box in Young America as he didn't want it to get lost in the mail.

Not wanting to spoil the ending, if you don't know how this saga ends, I won't get into that, but it is only 4 episodes, about 40-50 minutes each in length, and I thought it was pretty cool Minnesota played a small part in the real-life story and got a 'shout-out' during the series.

Family and baseball go hand in hand for Young America Cardinals

NORWOOD YOUNG AMERICA, Minn. (KMSP) - The Young America Cardinals is a team with deep roots in the community, making it quite the family affair for many of the players - some with relatives spanning decades of past team rosters.“That’s one thing about my boys, when they were young I never had to look for them because I knew where they were at – that was right here,” said Virgil Zellman.Eighty-year-old Virgil Zellman embodies Young America baseball.

NORWOOD YOUNG AMERICA, Minn. (KMSP) - The Young America Cardinals is a team with deep roots in the community, making it quite the family affair for many of the players - some with relatives spanning decades of past team rosters.

“That’s one thing about my boys, when they were young I never had to look for them because I knew where they were at – that was right here,” said Virgil Zellman.

Eighty-year-old Virgil Zellman embodies Young America baseball. A former Cardinals player and manager, he’s not only in the Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame, he and his family are woven into the fabric of the Cardinals.

“Well, I played a lot of sandlot baseball and the town team was looking for ball players in ’53. The Korean War came in and they were short on ballplayers, so I joined the team and I played every game since,” Zellman said.

It’s a love he passed on to his son, Terry.

“I was a bat boy and used to hang the canvas out here,” said Terry Zellman, a former Cardinals player and current team board member. “I was short enough to do the outfield lower fence and I hung canvas and I’ve been out here ever since, too.”

The Stender family is also intertwined. In the 1970s, Doug Stender bought the house across the street to be close to the field - and you have to wonder what his wife thought of that.

“Well, it was easy for her to say goodbye because she knows she could get ahold of me,” laughed Doug Stender, who is the team’s assistant manager. “I played until I was 44, 45. I started in ’69, so that’s quite a few years. My favorite, most cherished moment was when [my son] Brandon pitched and I got to catch him. I would say that’s my favorite. I think I was 41 and he was 17.”

“It’s an opportunity that I cherish and will always love,” said Brandon Stender, Doug’s son and current Cardinals player. “Can’t imagine a life without [town ball] to be honest with you. It’s so intertwined with everything I’ve always done that I can’t imagine life without it.”

“Having the opportunity to have two of my cousins co-managing, having three or four other cousins on the team,” said Jeremy Stender, a Cardinals board member. “We’ve got a lot of those family connections. On this team when you look up and down the roster, you’ll see a lot of the same names. That’s just kind of what makes this fun. It’s a family kind of deal.”

“That’s why I keep playing just to kind of pass it on to [my kids] and to know that this is a fun place to be, where families can grow,” said Matt Mann, a Cardinals player.

The next generation not only embraces the game, but this town and the rich history and they love their place in it with all their heart.

“It’s pretty incredible,” said Isaac Hormann, Cardinals catcher and Concordia catcher. “I’ve been part of the team since I was four. I was the bat boy when my dad played. So I live a block away from the park, so basically it’s where I grew up. I used to come up here every summer night and play wiffle ball in center field... now I get to wear the jersey and actually play for the Cardinals.”

MINNESOTA, USA — Minnesotans have had lots of chances to see the Northern Lights this year, with the most recent show appearing across the state Monday night.

If you didn't stay awake or live too close to city lights and missed the latest aurora experience, there's another chance to catch the lights Tuesday night. According to KARE 11 Meteorologist Jamie Kagol, less cloud cover will lend itself to a better viewing experience, though the Northern Lights might be less brilliant.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Northern Lights are the result of "electrons colliding with the upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere." At night, rays from the Aurora Borealis can create an arc that stretches from horizon to horizon. Close to midnight, those arcs sway and sometimes can expand to fill the entire sky.

Darker skies make for better viewing conditions.

Parishioners of a Norwood Young America church are outraged by vandals' damage and destruction to more than 100 century-old tombstones.

And they may have to foot the $30,000 clean-up bill.

In a secluded cemetery underneath towering cedar and pine trees, vandals toppled a majority of the granite headstones in St. John's Lutheran Church's cemetery. Most of the graves date to the late 1800s.

"This is disgusting, this is downright disgusting," said LaVonne Byer, 71, who surveyed the damage Friday after making 13 dozen cookies for the church's Sunday service. "For anyone to have done this and to have had fun doing it ... It makes you mad."

Reviewing the damage for the first time on Friday, the Rev. David Winter said those responsible toppled the tombstones in late August, likely over several nights. The exurban community of 3,600 residents is on the southwest fringe of the metro area.

The incident wasn't initially reported, he said, with hopes they'd catch the vandals if they returned. Authorities suspect more than one person was involved because of the size of the damaged stones.

Now, the Carver County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information on the incident to call 952-361-1231.

Winter said he guesses it was likely bored kids.

"We've had from time to time, one or two pushed over, but never to this extent," he said. "We'd hope they'd make it right ... by stepping forward and doing the right thing."

Winter said that amid the damaged tombstones, the vandals left behind evidence of a fort and a fire along with a hatchet and other tools.

The cemetery is more hidden than the church's two other nearby cemeteries, but it also has the oldest graves, between 1865 and 1920, during the church's earliest years.

"One like this one, you'll never be able to put back together," Winter said, pointing to a grave dating to 1885, crumbled into pieces.

Stopping by the cemetery on Friday, Marlaine Gnan found the large headstone of her husband's grandfather to be one of the few graves still intact. The vandalism of headstones, she said, takes a piece of families' history.

"If somebody's working on genealogy, they can't find anything," the 75-year-old said. "I'm sorry to see it's this bad."

Winter said he hopes that damaged tombstones can be pieced together in the next two or three weeks with skid-loaders and other machinery.

It will cost an estimated $30,000 but the church's insurance won't cover nearly half of it, he said. Instead of the church footing the rest, he said, he hopes volunteers step up to do some of the work.

Several people already have contacted the church to volunteer and Winter said nearby towns have offered to help.

"Maybe a lot of good can come out of this -- getting the community together and educating kids about what needs to be done," Winter said.

Of the vandals, he added, "There is forgiveness."

BLUE EARTH — The Blue Earth Area Bucs took Wilson Field on Friday night as the Class 2A, No. 10-ranked football squad, according to the Minnesota Associated Press.

The Bucs beat the Central of Norwood Young America Raiders 52-21 in Blue Earth to improve their overall record to 6-1.

“We’re pretty fortunate to be in this situation,” Blue Earth Area head coach Randy Kuechenmeister said. “We ran the ball effectively. They’re a good football team with some nice players, but we really came out and played well in the second half.”

Blue Earth Area’s ground game was effective at gaining more than 400 yards and controlling the clock. The Bucs rushed for seven touchdowns and five two-point conversions to dominate the game.

Parker Meyers was a one-man wrecking crew, rushing for 173 yards on 24 carries with five touchdowns, plus all five two-point conversion runs for Blue Earth Area. Meyers scored 40 points on his own in the game.

Quarterback Ashton Lloyd was effective for the Bucs, completing 12 of 15 passes for 114 yards to go with rushing for 100 yards and one touchdown.

Blue Earth Area running back Noah Johnson also was in on the fun, rushing for a 65-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Johnson finished with 119 yards on the ground.

The Bucs trailed 14-12 at the half, but put together a dominant second half by outscoring the Raiders 40-7 to ice the victory.

Norwood Young America scored first when quarterback Noah Strickfaden hit Austin Dent for a 24-yard touchdown pass with 9:33 left in the opening quarter. It was the Raiders’ first drive of the game. Mitchell Druley kicked the extra point.

Blue Earth Area came right back on the ensuing possession, driving 67 yards for a touchdown. Meyers’ 2-yard run ended the drive with a touchdown.

The two-point conversion failed, but the Bucs were on the board.

Norwood Young America ran its lead to 14-6 by scoring a touchdown on its second drive of the game. Once again it was Noah Strickfaden throwing a 10-yard touchdown pass — this time to Hunter Neubarth with 11:54 remaining before halftime. Druley kicked the PAT for a 14-6 lead.

Meyers’ 3-yard touchdown run with 5:20 left in the second quarter tacked on another six points for the Bucs, but their two-point conversion failed again.

The Bucs had a chance to add to their point total right before halftime, driving inside the Raiders’ red zone, but they turned the ball over on downs.

The Bucs received the second-half kickoff and right from that possession they dominated on both sides of the ball.

On defense, they limited Noah Strickfaden’s effectiveness and stuffed nearly all of their possessions. Abram Kokos had an interception to help put the Bucs’ offense in good field position.

Meyers scored on another 3-yard run on the Bucs’ opening possession of the third quarter and ran in the two-point conversion to give the home team its first lead of the game at 20-14.

The Raiders took their final lead of the game after Noah Strickfaden connected with Hunter Neubarth on a 10-yard touchdown pass. Druley’s PAT made it 21-20 with 6:02 left in the third quarter.

It only took Blue Earth Area less than one minute to retake the lead. Meyers rushed 47 yards for a touchdown and once again ran in the two-point conversion.

Lloyd finished off the third-quarter scoring with a 10-yard touchdown run with 1:46 remaining. Meyers ran in the two-point conversion to pad the Bucs’ lead.

In the fourth quarter, Meyers scored on a 10-yard run and ran in another two-point conversion. Johnson capped the scoring with a 65-yard touchdown scamper midway through the final quarter.

Meyers finished the game with his fifth and final two-point conversion run after Johnson’s scoring run.

Blue Earth Area (6-1) travels to Mahoney Field in Fairmont on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. regular-season finale against the rival Cardinals.

“It won’t be an easy game,” Kuechenmeister said. “Fairmont is a good football team.”
