Always Best Care Senior Services Salutes National Assisted Living Week

Senior services business recognizes awareness campaign, offers helpful advice on
how to choose the right care provider
ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Always Best Care Senior Services will join America as it recognizes the work of
the country's assisted living community during National Assisted Living Week,
September 13 - 19.

According to the Assisted Living Federation of America, there are 36,000
assisted living communities nationwide, which serve more than one million
seniors. "A relatively new concept twenty-five years ago, today assisted living
is the most preferred and fastest growing long-term care option for seniors,"
the Federation notes on its Web site.

"Assisted living bridges the gap between independent living and nursing homes,"
said Michael Newman, president of Always Best Care Senior Services. "Many senior
assisted care providers, like Always Best Care Senior Centers, help clients with
eating, bathing, dressing, doing laundry and housekeeping, and assisting with
medication - all of which are a necessity for day-to-day living."

In recognition of National Assisted Living Week, Always Best Care Senior
Services is offering helping advice on how to choose the right assisted care
provider.

Newman recommends families and seniors consider the following:

* Are You Making the Right Choice? Be sure to make an assessment of the
physical, financial, mental, and lifestyle needs of the individual needing the
care before thinking about hiring an assisted care provider.
* Do Your Homework. Doing a little research will allow you to understand the
most recent legal requirements for assisted living providers; this information
will set your mind at ease when it comes time to choose a provider. Also,
research the services of various providers to help you match the right program
with the needs of the assisted care recipient's specific requirements.
* Ask Questions. When speaking with assisted care providers, make sure you are
knowledgeable of their credentials. Ask the following questions:

* How long have you been providing these services?
* How are you accredited? Are you licensed by the state?
* Can you give me references?
