Home Care In Lakeview, AB

Home Care Lakeview, AB

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 TheurerWrigley 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 Lakeview, AB is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Lakeview, AB?

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.

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 Ella Elli or visit Alta Vista Terrace Historic District, 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 Lakeview, AB, 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 Lakeview, AB

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 AB'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 Lakeview, AB

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 Lakeview, AB 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 Lakeview, AB

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 Lakeview, AB

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:

  • Artis Senior Living of Lakeview
  • Brookdale Lake View
  • Brookdale Lake Shore Drive
  • Lakeview Terrace Assisted Living
  • Peristyle Residences Lakeview House
  • New Haven Assisted Living
Home Care Lakeview, AB

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.

In-Home Care Lakeview, AB

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

lm-right-arrow

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

lm-right-arrow
02

Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider

lm-right-arrow
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.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Lakeview, AB 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.

Many first-year coaches have steep learning curves, but Anchor Bay’s new soccer leader has already done his homework.

Nathan Williams takes over the varsity program, but he is familiar with the entire roster since he coached the school’s junior varsity team the last nine seasons.

Williams, who also coached the girls’ JV team the last seven seasons, has been impressed with his squad’s mental approach.

“I am excited about the team this year because of our cohesion and desire to get better as a team,” Williams said. “If we work together, play hard, and play the right way, I believe we could have a successful season.”

Senior Zach Johnson and junior Ian Haskin are third-year varsity players who co-captain the Tars. Johnson is a physical midfielder, while Haskin excels in every aspect of the game, according to Williams.

Junior Devon Butler is a speedy, hard-working forward, while junior Mikele Melone anchors the backline.

Senior Matt Vang is new to the program, but Williams praised him for his skill and team-first attitude.

Senior Justin Hamlin and sophomore Matt Dennis each gained varsity experience last season and will vie for time in goal.

Crusaders promising

Elmir Sabanovic thought he had a pretty solid team coming into his first season as the varsity soccer coach at L’Anse Creuse North. The Crusaders seemed to confirm that notion by blanking L’Anse Creuse 4-0 in their season opener.

It was more than just a guess for Sabanovic, as he was the junior varsity coach at LCN and is familiar with the varsity players.

“We have a great group of players with tremendous potential,” Sabanovic said. “Only time will tell how great we can be as we are still making adjustments.”

Robert Longo and Dylan Dorley paced the Crusaders in their opener with two goals each. Sabanovic praised the defensive effort of Alex Masakowski, Trevor Kerr and Colton Oakie. Chris Nowak posted the shutout in goal.

Sabonovic said there are no secrets to success for the Crusaders.

“If we can consistently play fundamental, simple soccer, along with hard work, we’ll have a successful season,” he said.

“There are a few key returning players and some standout newcomers, but it’s going to take the whole team working collectively to be successful.”

New Haven progressing

Lance Whitney got off to a nice start in his first season as New Haven’s coach. The Rockets finished 10-9 and advanced to the district final. New Haven placed third in the MAC Silver division.

Whitney believes the Rockets will build off of their success.

“I feel that although our team is young, we have the talent to compete for a league and district championship,” he said.

Three of the Rockets’ top players are sophomores: Marquis Perkins, Tristan Castiglione and Dolan Bonkowski, who was first-team all-district. Junior sweeper Sychar Sterling also earned all-district honors a year ago.

“The sophomore class on this team is very talented and driven,” Whitney said. “They can compete now with anyone and have the commitment to make the team very good for quite some time.”

Juniors Altin Shuti and Connor Bauman and seniors Tedaro France and Rayshawn Griffin will play key roles, while newcomers Rico Cook and Brandon Gonzales should add some spark.

The best way to enjoy Nourish Bistro is to come here with company. The menu was modeled to encourage sharing and turn the quotidien act of feeding oneself into a communal, fun experience. Of your friends, choose vegetarians or those who don’t mind an entirely meat-free meal: Nourish was designed to cater to vegetarians and vegans with a menu of delicious and wholesome dishes, like the gourmet falafels mixed with garlic, cucumber, tomatoes and red roasted peppers, or the wicked wedge pizza pie topped with coconut flakes and fresh herbs. Boasting an unusual venue with many quirky fixtures and an upbeat atmosphere, Nourish Bistro is recommended for a delectable lunch in the company of friends.

7. Storm Mountain Lodge

Immersed amidst the park’s pristine nature, the restaurant offers an all-Canadian menu of local delicacies prepared with organic ingredients, naturally raised meat and fish and home-made breads and pastries. The cabin-like venue is completely built from wood, and provides the perfect backdrop for a wholesome meal on Alberta’s mountains. The restaurant’s lounge is particularly charming — take a seat on one of the leather couches and enjoy a drink while gazing at the roaring fire in the stone fireplace.

8. Tapas

Restaurant, Spanish, Tapas

A jewel of an eatery in the middle of the scenic Canadian Rocky Mountains, and more precisely in the small, enchanting town of Canmore, restaurant Tapas offers a tantalising array of both hot and cold tapas for dinner. The restaurant is located in a charming house, its walls painted floor to ceiling with stunning murals inspired by Spanish culture. Small tables, high-back leather chairs and discreet lighting make for an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere, a recommended choice for a romantic dinner.

In addition to the delicious dogs, WoW keeps sausage lovers coming back with a range of other finger-licking bites, like its glorious gelato and potato chips; however, this spot may find its true WoW factor in the arresting views of forests and glaciers further down the horizon.

Residents in Calgary’s Lakeview neighbourhood are concerned about increased traffic that could flow into their community following the construction of a new development on the Tsuut’ina First Nation.

A letter from the Lakeview Community Association to the province and City of Calgary requests a meeting with the province to “re-engage discussion about the proposed design of the transportation projects that will affect the Lakeview community.”

Some residents are concerned with possible increased traffic that would come with the new $4.5-billion development planned on the Tsuut’ina First Nation.

The development would include retail, residential and entertainment developments and at least one access point at the 56 hundred block of 37 Street S.W.

Geoffrey Vanderburg resigned as president of the Lakeview Community Association after 15 years in March over what he calls the “caustic tone of the board and its change in direction.”

At the March meeting, the majority of residents voted in favour of “pursuing alternative options” to the long-term plan for 37 Street. But Vanderburg is disappointed the board used that result to push for cutting off access to the First Nation.

“We’ve now asked the province to rescind an agreement that was struck in 2015 with respect to the intersection at the 5600 block of 37th Sreet and we’ve told the province we want no access from Lakeview into the reserve whatsoever. Block off all access. That was not a question that we asked the community,” Vanderburg said.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

Concerns have been raised about more access points built along 37 Street in the future. Vanderburg says what is needed now is a traffic study to determine the actual implications of the new Tsuut’ina development.

“I think the traffic concerns are fair. The anxiety and the stress, that’s maybe not justified. Because we’ve only within the past few weeks been given the plans from the Tsuut’ina,” Vanderburg said.

Other Lakeview residents are worried about how the letter is making their community appear.

“This letter makes us look like we are entitled and elitist and that we are not willing to play with different groups of folks,” said area resident Steve Jobidon.

“Every change is scary but we need to embrace change. Change can bring positive things.”

Earlier this month, the Tsuut’ina First Nation hosted a tour with Calgary area business leaders showcasing the nation’s current and future development plans.

Vanderburg hopes the letter doesn’t damage the relationship between the First Nation and the divided Lakeview community.

“It is a community divided. There are people that would like to see walls and there are people who would like to build bridges. And that’s fair to recognize there are both sides,” Vanderburg said. He also questions why the letter was not sent to members of the Tsuut’ina First Nation as well.

“Why would a letter that talks about closing all access to the nation not be copied to the nation?”

Vanderburg says it’s too late to the change the plans with respect to the access point at the 5600 block of 37th Street.

“And it’s too early to modify plans for the development on the reserve because that is five to 10 years away. So we’re in the middle of the two issues. If we can have a healthy discussion about what does development look like on the reserve and what is the potential impact of that development on the community of Lakeview, we will come out of this better,” Vanderburg said.

In a statement to Global News, Alberta’s Department of Transportation wrote:

“The initial plans put in place for the access between the community of Lakeview and the Southwest Calgary Ring Road (SWCRR) change the traditional access between the community and Glenmore Trail SW. By routing this traffic to Tsuut’ina Parkway rather than directly to 37 Street SW, the design accommodates the access needs of both the community and of the Tsuut’ina Nation.

More on Calgary

“Recently, plans were announced by the Tsuut’ina Nation for the Taza development. It is the understanding of Alberta Transportation that the Tsuut’ina Nation will be providing a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) as part of their request for three additional access routes directly from the this development to 37 Street SW,” the Statement said. “In addition to the Community of Lakeview, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the City of Calgary are stakeholders in the development of the SWCRR. Any conversation regarding changes to the access for all parties should wait until more details are known about these additional impacts.”

In a statement to Global News on Monday, Tsuut’ina First Nation chief Lee Crowchild said he urges “sober reflection” regarding the request to restrict access.

“Taza is a beautiful development that will provide services, jobs and increased value to Lakeview, in addition to the benefits it will bring to Tsuut’ina. The development partnership is working very closely with City of Calgary transportation planners to ensure ease of access to residents and minimal traffic interruption. One can recall that the same concerns over traffic impact were expressed during the construction of our casino and entertainment centre, and none of those concerns were justified,” read the statement.

“Tsuut’ina is and will remain committed to the protection and improvement of our shared natural and human environment. Tsuut’ina enjoys an excellent relationship with our neighbours in Lakeview. The tenor of the recent correspondence does not, I believe, reflect the feelings of most Lakeview residents,” Crowchild continued.

“Finally, at a time when Tsuut’ina is working so hard to build bridges with Calgary, the fact that some Calgarians want to literally close roads is unproductive, and regressive.”
