About Susan Oderwald

Susan now owns Always Best Care Senior Services of Lower Fairfield County and Greater Milford At Always Best Care, we offer two types of services to individuals and families. First, we offer a wide range of services provided by caring individuals to help seniors remain safe and independent in their homes. Examples include: help around the house, help with pets, meal planning and cooking, driving to and from appointments, standby assistance for fall prevention, help with personal care such as bathing, grooming, medication reminders, toileting, hospice support care, etc. Second we help individuals and their families find assisted living communities in the area. This service is provided at NO cost to the senior. We work with our clients to understand their health and social needs, lifestyle preferences and budget, as well as their geographic preferences. We then narrow the search down to 2-3 communities we feel best meets their specific criteria. We arrange and accompany them on tours to the selected communities, and provide ongoing support while they think through their choices. Once they make their selection, we can also offer support services to help them as they move and get settled into their new community.
