Home Care In Mount Pleasant, SC

Home Care Mount Pleasant, SC

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 Princes Ferry One Hand Sanders Historical Markets in Mount Pleasant, SC 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 Mount Pleasant, SC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Our family has been using the services of Always Best Care for the past six months and are grateful for the assistance provided to my elderly parents. Initially Rick, one of the owners, met with us along with my parents to closely assess their needs. His warm, friendly manner was helpful in persuading my father to give the assistance a try for two days per week. Rick listened carefully to choose the best match in caregivers, and we could not be more satisfied than we are with our parents' caregiver. She has quickly become essential in their lives and makes a huge difference in whether or not they can remain in their home. Her manner with my parents is professional, but loving, always--- always--- going the extra mile to meet their needs. She is knowledgeable, hard-working, caring, and trusted to do what is in their best interest. We are thankful that someone told us about Always Best Care and ever grateful for our caregiver.”

“Like most I was not prepared for the transition to being the responsible one for my Mom. Looking back there were signs of memory decline but after emergency surgery and move to rehab the combative paranoid person my sweet, witty, well read , soft spoken Mom became was shocking. Medication and skilled care were prescribed. Several missteps were made with both. Mom’s dark side resulted in first skilled care company dropping us which I totally understood. I was very straight with Christine and Rick regarding Mom’s recent ‘trips out on the ledge’. Rather than politely taking a pass on us...they spent 2 hours in person with us, 3 cumulative hours on the phone asking me questions and strategizing how to avoid the triggers that put Mom ‘on the ledge’, and 2 twelve hour days observing, testing and tweaking strategies. We are approaching 2 months with no major or reportable incidents. I don’t know how long this again found quality of life will last. I am thankful that one of the nurses referred me to ABC. I am tremendously thankful to be their client for the remainder of this journey.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Mount Pleasant, SC?

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 Mount Pleasant, SC
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 Langdon's Restaurant & Wine Bar or visit Old Village 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 Mount Pleasant, SC, 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 Mount Pleasant, SC

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 SC'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 Mount Pleasant, SC

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 Mount Pleasant, SC 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 Mount Pleasant, SC

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 Mount Pleasant, SC

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:

  • Somerby Mount Pleasant
  • Mount Pleasant Gardens
  • The Marsh at Carolina Park
  • The Palms of Mt. Pleasant
  • Revela at Mt. Pleasant Assisted Living (Formerly Sandpiper Courtyard Assisted Living)
  • Merrill Gardens at Carolina Park
Home Care Mount Pleasant, SC

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.

Kelsea Ballerini's new album is called 'Mount Pleasant' and it's likely inspired by her time here

Kelsea Ballerini's new EP is named "Mount Pleasant," and it's almost certainly in reference to the local town where she spent a good amount of her time while dating "Outer Banks" star Chase Stokes.The two reportedly started dating in 2023, making it official at the CMT Music Awards red carpet that April. They then split in September of this year but have since been seen together and are believed to be working things out, according to Us Weekly, Elle, Taste of County, InStyle and other publications.Ballerini'...

Kelsea Ballerini's new EP is named "Mount Pleasant," and it's almost certainly in reference to the local town where she spent a good amount of her time while dating "Outer Banks" star Chase Stokes.

The two reportedly started dating in 2023, making it official at the CMT Music Awards red carpet that April. They then split in September of this year but have since been seen together and are believed to be working things out, according to Us Weekly, Elle, Taste of County, InStyle and other publications.

Ballerini's EP, released on Nov. 14, references some of the struggles in her relationship with Stokes.

In her new song "587," she references Mount Pleasant specifically.

"587, 587 / Baby, that's the distance, path of least resistance / 587, here to Mount Pleasant / Got me reminiscing / It used to be a quick flight / By midnight we were kissing in the harbor / Now you've never felt farther," Ballerini sings.

When Stokes was filming the hit Netflix show in Charleston from 2023 into this year, Ballerini would visit. "The Voice" coach has been spotted around town, including at The Obstinate Daughter on Sullivan's Island, Record Stop in downtown Charleston and the Old Village and True Blues House of Wings in Mount Pleasant.

"One thing you should always know about me is I'm going to find a karaoke bar, and Blues Bar is that go-to spot for me in Charleston," Ballerini is quoted saying via Apple Maps' curated Hyperlocal guide. "It's kind of a hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall, and that's everything you need to know. I'll see you there!"

She also performed at the North Charleston Coliseum in April of this year. The Post and Courier interviewed her before the show.

“It's my second home at this point,” Ballerini said of Charleston at that time. “It's really cool to be able to play shows in cities that have my heart tied to them, whether that be Nashville or Charleston. I have friends there, obviously, because I live there part-time, and I get to go home after the show. It'll be extra special to get to do that.”

Stokes and Ballerini have been spotted holding hands in Scotland and Croatia over the last few weeks. Part of the last season of "Outer Banks" is reportedly being filmed in Croatia, bringing Stokes there for filming. A source told Us Weekly that the two fell back into their romance "very naturally."

Previously, Stokes dated "Outer Banks" co-star and his character's love interest, Madelyn Cline. The two ended things in November 2021.

One of the most iconic images in Charleston, if not the entire Lowcountry, the Ravenel Bridge has been featured in movies, television shows, magazines, books, a record album cover, countless photographs and even a video game.

None of that should be surprising. The majestic structure complements the beauty of the rivers and saltwater marshes, affording a view unlike any other. It’s more than just a way to get from one side to the other; it’s a destination in itself.

The Ravenel Bridge, which turned 20 this year, replaced two aging bridges: the John P. Grace (or the “old Cooper River Bridge”), built in 1929, and the Silas M. Pearman (aka the “new bridge”), built in 1969. Both of those bridges were also icons – the Grace for providing a death-defying (some say thrilling) driving experience and the Pearman for offering a reversible lane whenever needed. But when driving on either, the goal was to get over them as quickly and safely as possible. The experience is forever etched into the memory of anyone who crossed the twin bridges – and still causes some to quake.

When the Ravenel Bridge was completed in 2005, the entire bridge, including the traffic lanes, was open to pedestrians for two days before automobiles were permitted to cross. That gave people a unique opportunity to enjoy the view without the distraction of vehicular traffic, and for many, to confront the fears that still lingered from crossing the two previous bridges. Now, with traffic whizzing by just feet away, pedestrians and bicyclists flock to the special lane on the bridge, made just for them, to enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the harbor. Even commuters can’t help but take a quick glimpse at the breathtaking panorama.

The older bridges shared the limelight in their day, but safety had become an issue on the antiquated and rusting duo. However, there was another consideration in erecting the Ravenel Bridge. With the shipping industry propelling much of the area’s economy and container ships becoming larger, a new bridge had become a necessity. Mega freighters needed to be able to pass underneath on their way to and from the port terminals, but that wasn’t possible with the lower height of the earlier structures. The roadbed of the Ravenel soars 186 feet above the river, providing vessels with safe clearance.

In the 1990s, a new Cooper River bridge was one of a handful of major infrastructure priorities across the state. As is often the case, funding presented a challenge. The State Infrastructure Bank was created to finance the statewide projects, but communities were required to pay a share of those being considered. Residents opposed both a toll and an increase in sales tax to provide the money. Ultimately, Arthur Ravenel Jr., the state senator representing Mount Pleasant at the time (and eventual namesake of the bridge) helped to forge local, state and federal partnerships and bridge the chasm that usually defines politics.
