Keeping holiday celebrations simple, familiar, and calm can make a big difference when celebrating with loved ones living with dementia. Try sticking to familiar routines, playing favorite music, sharing old photos, or enjoying smaller gatherings instead of large events.

Be patient and flexible—what matters most isn’t perfection, but comfort and togetherness. Creating a peaceful environment helps reduce stress and allows your loved one to feel safe, included, and valued during the season.

If your family could use extra support during the holidays, give us a call at 860-533-9343 or visit us at www.ABCCentralCT.com to learn how Always Best Care can help through the season. Whether it be companionship, assistance with daily routines, or relief for family caregivers—our goal is being a resource so everyone can focus on what truly matters, FAMILY.

The Always Best Care team celebrated the 2025 holiday season with our annual Office Party yesterday! Starting with we all had the opportunity to get to know one another better through likes and interests depending on who Santa’s elf assigned us for Secret Santa. This was followed by a stop at Cafe Aura in giving us the opportunity to laugh and learn about each other’s holiday traditions over a great meal. We want to thank the team managing everything behind the scenes with clients, families and caregivers. Ensuring they receive continual support through their journey with our agency!

It’s Device Appreciation Day, a reminder to thank the everyday devices like Always Best Care's Remote Patient Monitoring systems that help make care safer and more efficient.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) tools allow healthcare teams to track vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, and oxygen levels in real time—helping identify changes early, reduce hospitalizations, and better manage chronic conditions.

When used in conjunction with home care, these technologies are even more effective. Professional caregivers can help ensure devices are used correctly, monitor trends and changes during visits, reinforce care plans, and communicate concerns promptly with families and healthcare providers.

Together, home care and technology create a strong support system that promotes independence, improves health outcomes, and provides greater peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones. For more information on how RPM tools can keep your loved one happy, healthy, and at home, give us a call at 860-533-9343 or visit us at https://alwaysbestcare.com/manchester/special-services/ today!

The safety and well-being of our employees is always a top priority. Our Caregiver Safety Committee plays a vital role in creating a safe, supportive workplace by identifying potential risks, reviewing safety practices, and promoting a culture where everyone looks out for one another.

Today we met to discuss winter hazards in home care. Having a "mobile workplace" like a caregiver poses some unconventional safety issues compared to those working in an office. We spent the meeting discussing hypothermia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and defensive winter driving as well as safety concerns while working in a client's home during snowy and icy weather.

Thank you to our Safety Committee members for making a difference!

For many seniors, holiday traditions are more than festive moments… they’re cherished memories, cultural roots, and reminders of family history. Taking time to honor these traditions helps bring comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging.

We asked our internal support staff about their favorite holiday traditions and loved hearing a little more about each of them!

🎄John, Kristine, and Taylor brought back the tradition of making Pizzelles with John's mom's Pizzelle maker this year.

🎄Stevi's favorite holiday tradition was waking her sister up before the sunrise to open their stockings together before waking their dad up to enjoy the Christmas morning.

🎄Heather's favorite holiday tradition was going to her grandmother's and getting hand-knitted stuffed animals every year.

🎄Anika's favorite tradition was celebrating Kwanzaa each year and the fond memories with her mom before her passing.

🎄Kim's favorite tradition was going to church on Christmas Day to help feed the community and the memories she has with her mom before her passing as well.

No matter how you celebrate, the holidays are a chance to slow down, connect, and make meaningful memories across generations.

Wreaths Across America is a nationwide initiative to remember, honor, and teach about our veterans by placing wreaths at their resting places during the holiday season. 🇺🇸 This meaningful tradition ensures that the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our veterans are never forgotten.

For veterans living at home, home care services can provide support with daily tasks, companionship, and specialized care—helping them maintain independence and comfort. Many veterans may also be eligible for additional support through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Community Care Program, which helps connect veterans with care in their communities, including in-home assistance. 💙❤️

Let’s come together as a community to remember, honor, and teach the next generation about the heroes who made our freedom possible. For information on how Always Best Care can provide care for your through the Community Care Program, give us a call at 860-533-9343 or visit us at https://alwaysbestcare.com/manchester/veterans-assistance-program/ today!

At Always Best Care Senior Services, our mission is to provide veterans with the most outstanding care possible, and also to assist them in obtaining the funds to pay for the care they need.
