FAIRFAX, Va. — Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, is pleased to announce that Rashid Farrell has taken ownership of Always Best Care of Fairfax, Virginia. Farrell brings nearly two decades of experience in human resources along with a deeply personal connection to senior care that has inspired his journey in the home care industry.

“My journey with home care began with my own father’s battle with cancer,” Farrell shared. “During his final stages of life, I witnessed firsthand the incredible difference that compassionate, skilled caregivers made in our family’s life. I also had the privilege of caring for him myself, and those experiences left a lasting impression on me. I understand the challenges families face when they need support for their loved ones, and I am honored to continue the legacy of care established here in Fairfax.”

Fairfax County is home to a growing senior population:

  • Fairfax County has one of the highest life expectancies in the nation, at 85.2 years.

ALWAYS BEST CARE HIGHLIGHTS SUMMER SKIN CANCER PREVENTION

2024-08-02T03:52:53-04:00August 2nd, 2024|Tags: , , , |

– Leading senior care franchise shares what caregivers need to know to help protect seniors –

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — In these peak summer months, Always Best Care franchise teams nationwide are encouraging seniors and their families to take skin cancer awareness seriously. As leading providers of non-medical in-home care and senior living referral services, Always Best Care professionals know caregivers can play a crucial role in monitoring seniors for any concerning skin changes and helping them get prompt medical attention when needed.

Sonya Meade-Settles, BSHSM, NA is the owner of Always Best Care in Norfolk, Virginia. She believes that caregivers, who often assist with activities of daily living like bathing, are in a unique position to support seniors in maintaining skin health. In fact, a member of her team noticed a discolored spot on a client’s chest that turned out to be skin cancer. “Our professional caregivers at Always Best Care know that small changes in skin condition can evolve quickly, so they are trained to report any changes right away in case a doctor referral is needed. Without this care team member’s careful attention to detail and persistence in reporting what she observed, our client would not have received medical care.”

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, and seniors are particularly at risk due to past sun exposure and fragile skin that can be easily overexposed to damaging UV rays. Caregivers can help by encouraging them to wear sunscreen, stay in the shade as much as possible, wear UV-protective clothing and use accessories such as wide-brimmed hats and umbrellas to shield themselves when they are outside.

“Early detection is critical in improving the outcome of skin cancer treatment, and Always Best Care in-home care teams have an important role to play in helping clients with their routine skin checks and overall sun-safe behaviors,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care. “Our franchise owners across 29 states and Canada have built a network of referral partners in their local territories to offer their clients a continuum of care when specialists or additional consultations are needed. We urge all seniors and their families to focus on their skin health this summer and throughout the year to reduce the risk and impact of skin cancer.”

Meade-Settles also wants people to know that skin cancer does not discriminate. “Skin cancer can affect anyone regardless of skin color, age, or gender,” she said. “That is why it’s so important to schedule routine skin checks with a dermatologist, in addition to watching for any changes in the skin at home. We tell our caregivers to monitor the skin for any new or changing moles, lesions, or patches, including something that may just look like a scratch or sore. If they see discoloration, bleeding, crusting or any type of change, they know how important it is to speak up so that senior can be evaluated. Early detection really does save lives!”

Always Best Care recommends the following tips for seniors and their caregivers to promote skin safety:

  1. Educate seniors about how important it is for them to have regular skin examinations and protect themselves from the sun.
  2. Encourage them to wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, stay in the shade and wear protective clothing like wide-brimmed hats and long-sleeve shirts. Caregivers may also need to help with application of sunscreen and reminders to reapply.
  3. Perform Regular Skin Checks: Assist seniors in monitoring their skin for any changes and reporting any suspicious findings to their healthcare provider in a timely manner.
  4. Schedule routine dermatology appointments for seniors, especially for those who have a history of sun exposure or skin cancer.

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care and senior living referral services, with skilled home health care in limited markets. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 250 independently owned and operated franchise territories throughout the United States and Canada.

ALWAYS BEST CARE SHARES TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH SENIORS THIS SUMMER

2024-06-06T19:45:53-04:00June 6th, 2024|Tags: , , , |

– Leading senior care franchise encourages families to plan ahead for trips with aging relatives –

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — The summer travel season has arrived, and the caregivers at Always Best Care Senior Services are sharing tips to help seniors and their families plan an enjoyable, memorable trip for everyone. Experts with the leading in-home senior care franchise system in the United States know that traveling with aging loved ones can require special considerations.

“Always Best Care currently serves seniors in 29 states and Canada, and demand is only increasing with new territories under development or opening this year in AlabamaMarylandNorth CarolinaTexas and Canada. Our caregiving teams work every day with seniors, and additionally, our teams can prepare seniors planning to visit with family, or travel to new or favorite places to experience a change of scenery,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care. “With summer upon us, they know it will be important for families to plan ahead for travel with their senior members to reduce stress, enhance safety and make the most of the trip. Just as we help seniors make their day-to-day more comfortable at home, our caregiving teams can assist seniors to be prepared for travel as well.”

If you are planning a family getaway with seniors, the following are a few tips to keep in mind that can make the process run more smoothly:

  • Mind their mobility. Seniors in wheelchairs or who use a cane or walker may need special assistance with air or car travel, including entry/exit and stowing their equipment. Research ahead of time when booking activities to ensure the places you plan to visit are accessible, especially for those who have trouble navigating stairs or narrow places. Large crowds, excessive noise and stimulation can also be tough to handle, so think about their vision and hearing capabilities and plan activities that everyone can enjoy and access.
  • Build in breaks. Riding in the car can be hard on seniors’ backs and hips. Plan on periodic stops – including bathroom visits – and break up the travel as much as possible. Plenty of water and snacks will help as well. While travelers typically want to see as many sights and activities as they can, be realistic about your group’s time and abilities. Seniors most likely require a slower pace that won’t overwhelm them with too much walking or activity.
  • Give packing assistance. Seniors may have difficulty picking weather-appropriate clothing or remembering everything that should be on their list. Make that list together and help them choose outfits that are both appropriate and comfortable. Layers are always a good idea in case they get cold or hot.
  • Remember the medications. Bring enough medication for the trip and a few days extra in case of delays, and pack in a carry-on rather than checked luggage. To avoid confusion, it’s best to leave medications in their original packaging. It is also a good idea to keep a list of important medical information, including proper documentation for medication and any health conditions your loved one may have. If they need to go to an urgent care or hospital, you want to have necessary information readily available.
  • Ask for their input in planning. Ask your senior what they want to do and what they think they can reasonably handle. Cruises and tours have a lot of appeal because they offer many pre-planned options for all ages. You can work out any accessibility needs or special considerations ahead of time, and you may also be able to pick and choose from different activities to create a schedule that works for everyone.

“In-home caregivers have experience helping seniors with planning and packing to make sure they have everything they need,” said Sheila Davis, senior vice president of area operations for Always Best Care. “A caregiver can also take them on errands and outings around town and help them think of activities they might like to do this summer.”

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care and senior living referral services, with skilled home health care in limited markets. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 250 independently owned and operated franchise territories throughout the United States and Canada.

One service that has become increasingly popular since its launch over 12 years ago is Always Best Care’s complimentary telephone reassurance program, which gives the companionship of a friendly voice to seniors and disabled adults and helps combat the isolation and loneliness that can take a toll on physical, mental and emotional health.

Always in Touch offers daily check-ins or weekly socialization calls to Always Best Care clients, providing a sense of security that the senior is not alone. This may be temporary while recuperating from an illness or surgery, or it may be a more permanent situation for someone who is isolated, living alone, or in need of daily contact. Always Best Care is one of the few senior care organizations to provide this kind of program to its clients.

“Independence and the ability to age in place is a goal for many seniors, and Always Best Care provides the in-home care solutions that can help them do that. The older adults our franchise offices work with are more likely to live alone, have a chronic illness or hearing loss, or to be experiencing the loss of family and friends. All of these factors increase their risk for loneliness and social isolation, which is why it is so important to offer them opportunities for companionship,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care.

In-home caregivers provide companionship in addition to helping with activities of daily living and tasks around the house. During a caregiver visit, seniors have someone to discuss current events with them, listen to stories about grandkids or happy family memories and play games or cards. A caregiver is also able to escort seniors on errands, to the movies, or out to lunch.

In addition to hiring an in-home caregiver, other tips Always Best Care recommends for seniors to explore more social interaction and a healthier mental state include:

  • Seek out a relationship with neighbors who may be interested in going for a walk, taking a coffee break together or checking in on each other from time to time.
  • Get family visits or regular phone/video calls on the calendar so you have them to look forward to.
  • Volunteer for an important cause in the community. You’ll have the opportunity to socialize and meet new people while helping an organization that needs your time and talent.
  • Join a club, attend exercise classes or pick up a new/old hobby. Mental and physical activity is key.
  • Arrange transportation to remove the stress or obstacle of driving where you want to go. Some senior agencies offer pick-up and drop-off services, or there may be carpool options with friends.
