Identity theft is something that people of all ages should be wary of, but seniors can be especially vulnerable. Thieves often target older adults because they have higher amounts of retirement savings, are not as savvy when it comes to technology, and tend to be more trusting of others. This can make it easier to … Continue reading Protecting Seniors from Identity Theft

Seniors and small children face a harder time during the flu season. At times, seniors can be hospitalized when flu symptoms get out of hand.

I am sending you some of my thoughts about Always Best Care now that I have had time to reflect. Mom?s move to Assisted Living has gone very well and I?d like you to know:--From the initial home meeting and throughout my mother?s care, Lois was extremely personable, professional and knowledgeable of the home care industry. She is flexible and always available to answer questions, offer support or concerns either by phone or email. It was not unusual to have Lois respond to an email even on a weekend! --ABC matched caregivers to my Mother?s needs and personality and we (and my Mother) were very happy with the care received and with the communication between caregivers and family.--Although my Mother is in Memory Care now, she still remembers ?her ladies? that not only assisted in her care, but more importantly, offered friendship.We would be very happy to be used as a reference if needed!

Hi Lois, It was nice meeting you last Friday. I just wanted to shoot you a quick email expressing our thoughts about Mary, whowas the caregiver for the weekend. We all thought she was wonderful!! I think her biggest strength is that she “sees thework”, needs little/to no direction, offers to take things out of our hands, is a true-go-getter. For Billie, this type of helpis great since she feels like she can take some time to rest and trust all is okay. Mary works hard and is also very patient. I really think Mary is a natural dealing with elderly. She is patient and kind! Anyway, what I wanted to ask is if Marycan be the consistent caregiver for the weekends. The other 4 caregivers that I have met are also very nice. We wouldlike Mary as much as possible as she is punctual, and as I mentioned before, ‘sees what needs doing”. She is focusedon what she can do to help. She doesn’t just sit there next to Bill, she has eyes in the back of her head and goes the extramile. Anything that needs to get done, she says “no wait, let me do it’—if she hasn’t already initiated it herself. She seemsto have endless energy and never complained. I just felt compelled to drop you a this note to let you know how impressedwe were with her. Thanks

Dear Lois and Bob: On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you both for the wonderful care our mother received from your organization during her last days. Your Peggy in particular was simply a true God-send in helping us manage her special needs due to her frailty and dementia while we were dealing with the loss of our father. My parents had been married almost 70 years, so my Dad’s death was of course very unsettling to my mother, even though she could not quite process it fully. It takes a very special person to have the communication skills and social intuition needed to relate to a person as elderly and frail as my mother was, and Peggy embodied these in spades! We felt so fortunate to have her. She helped make our mother’s last days as good as they could have been. The care has been exemplary. Thank you both so much for all you do to provide such loving and beautiful care.

Dear Lois and Bob- I am writing on behalf of my family to tell you how appreciative we are of Always Best Care and your services. These have not been the best of times for my family and especially hard on my Mom but we take great comfort knowing you are there to help. Our caretaker Judy has been wonderful since my Dad was sent to River Glen in Southbury and from the very beginning of our ordeal. My Mom is extremely protective of my Dad and has always requested for Judy to help out with my Dad. To me that is the biggest proof of our confidence that has been my Mom's faith in her. Anything we have asked of her she has delivered and shown what most can't - that she really cares. Your Professional staff is a pleasure to work with - adapting schedules, applying payments quickly, and always courteous.

Lois- I wanted to share my thought regarding you and Always Best Care--- As a busy wife, mother, grandmother and 8th grade algebra teacher living appox. 1200 miles away from my parents, I was quite distraught when phone calls from my 78 year old mother made it clear that I HAD to help for her and my 87 year old step-dad….. IMMEDIATELY. I started doing the searching and researching long distance and found Always Best Care to stand out from the choices. After meeting with Lois Nelson I was sure that ABC was THE choice agency. Lois seemed to read our minds and anticipated needs we had not even realized we needed to consider. We knew we were talking to the right person. When I had to leave to get back to my home and career, Lois began—and continues to do so---staying in regular contact with me via texting. By keeping me connected, she provides me a sense of security and confidence that is absolutely invaluable. I most highly recommend Always Best Care. You will be in good hands with Lois and Bob Nelson. Melanie Bowles

A good friend of mine recommended Always Best Care to me a few years ago but it wasn't until caregiving for my uncle (now 93) for 18 years that I finally "gave in"... Reaching out to Lois was the best decision I have made for my uncle and for me, as well. Lois found the perfect spot for him and guided me through his move there...all in less than 2 weeks. She has continued to look after ME since then and I am deeply grateful to her for everything that she has done for us. Sincerely, Mary Elizabeth Peck

You not only live up to your name, you go way beyond any reasonable request. Who would answer the phone at 3AM? Who would "brave" a snow storm to bring our help? One can only say a most sincere Thank You!!!! Fondly- Elliott R.
