Home Care In Asbury Park, NJ

Home Care Asbury Park, NJ

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 Asbury Park Casino in Asbury Park, NJ 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 Asbury Park, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Mom developed an infection in the afternoon that left her too weak and disoriented to care for herself for that night. I called Always Best Care Senior Services (ABC) at the very end of the business day, asking if they could find someone for one night of 12-hour private duty care on pretty much an emergency basis. The ABC team went to work and secured a caregiver for mom within a matter of hours for an 8pm-to-8am care shift at mom's senior living community. We had worked with ABC in the past on a scheduled basis, but this experience was above and beyond the call of regular duty and it truly helped us get through a difficult and stressful episode. We would recommend ABC for any and all of your senior care needs.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Asbury Park, NJ?

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 Asbury Park, NJ
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 Pascal Sabine or visit Stephen Crane House, 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.

Benefits of Home Care in Asbury Park, NJ

Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide.

Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:

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 Asbury Park, NJ, 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 Asbury Park, NJ

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 NJ'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 Asbury Park, NJ

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 Asbury Park, NJ 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 Asbury Park, NJ

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 Asbury Park, NJ

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:

  • Seaton Ocean Grove
  • Asbury Tower
  • All American Assisted Living at Tinton Falls
  • Sunnyside Manor
  • Sunrise of Wall
  • Millennium Memory Care at Ocean
Home Care Asbury Park, NJ

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.

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:

A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

03

Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.

If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Asbury Park, NJ 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation.

Even though it may be cold outside, it’s never too early to start planning for summer. Guests can stop by the summer camp table to learn about the Y’s numerous camp offerings. Registration for summer camp is already open.

“Those interested in having an even bigger impact as part of the Y team won’t want to miss the hiring fair taking place during the open house. Lifeguards, fitness instructors, counselors and other team members benefit from more than just a job,” Darrow said. “They provide the smiles, encouragement and assistance that make the Y one of a kind.”

In addition to the open house, the Y is also offering a special “Pay the Day” promotion through January 31. New members can take advantage of a reduced joiner’s fee, paying an amount equal to the date of signup. People considering joining the Y are encouraged to stop in soon to maximize savings. Non-member guests will be entered into a membership drawing at the open house.

Feel Good While Doing Good

“What sets the Y apart from other health and wellness facilities is that members have a tangible and positive impact on the community,” noted Goganzer. Membership fees combined with donations to the annual campaign launching in January help support the Y’s many free programs dedicated to prevention and care for those in need. Programs include:

The Y also offers opportunities for members to play a more active role in the Y’s mission of strengthening our community through the Togetherhood® volunteer program. Monthly events include activities like food and baby pantry drives, as well as holiday gift and meal drives. Togetherhood® members also assist with events such as the Red Bank Classic 5K, which benefits the Red Bank Y’s third grade swim program.

“Every person who belongs to the Y is more than just a member,” said Goganzer. “They’re a friend, an inspiration, a support network. We’ve created a community that carries out our mission of hope by giving back to each other and to those in need.”

The Y will also host open houses on the same day and time at the Freehold Family YMCA, 470 East Freehold Road, Freehold, 07728, the Old Bridge Family YMCA, 1 Mannino Drive, Old Bridge, 08857, and the Ocean County YMCA, 1088 W Whitty Road, Toms River, 08755.

From Asbury Park to the American Canon, Bruce Springsteen’s First Album and a Legacy That Still Speaks

On this day in history, American rock legend Bruce Springsteen released his debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., marking the beginning of a career that would grow into one of the most enduring and influential in modern American music.

On this day in history, American rock legend Bruce Springsteen released his debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., marking the beginning of a career that would grow into one of the most enduring and influential in modern American music. The album’s arrival introduced a distinctive voice shaped by boardwalk towns, working class neighborhoods, and the restless energy of youth, themes that would come to define Springsteen’s work and connect him to generations of listeners across the country.

Born in 1949 and raised in New Jersey, Springsteen emerged from a postwar America defined by industrial labor, close knit communities, and shifting economic realities. Those early experiences became the foundation of his songwriting, which focused less on celebrity or excess and more on ordinary people searching for dignity, freedom, and purpose. His debut album reflected that perspective, blending poetic storytelling with folk and rock influences, and signaling the arrival of an artist intent on capturing American life as it was lived rather than imagined.

While Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. did not initially dominate the charts, it established Springsteen as a serious songwriter with an uncommon narrative depth. Over time, that foundation allowed him to build a catalog that mirrored the nation’s changing moods, from optimism and rebellion to hardship and reflection. Albums that followed expanded his reach and refined his sound, ultimately positioning him as a chronicler of American aspirations and anxieties.

Springsteen’s status as an icon rests not only on commercial success but on his ability to articulate the experiences of working families, veterans, factory workers, and dreamers navigating uncertain futures. His music consistently addressed themes of labor, loyalty, sacrifice, and community, topics that resonated deeply during periods of economic upheaval and cultural change. In doing so, he became a symbolic voice for the average American, someone who spoke with empathy rather than detachment.

One of the most widely recognized chapters of his career came with Born in the U.S.A., an album whose bold sound and stark imagery captured global attention. Often misunderstood as a simple anthem of national pride, the record instead reflected on the costs of war, economic displacement, and the struggles faced by returning veterans. Its widespread popularity demonstrated Springsteen’s rare ability to combine mass appeal with substantive social commentary, a balance few artists have maintained so effectively.

Across decades, Springsteen has remained committed to live performance, known for marathon concerts that emphasize connection between artist and audience. These performances reinforced his reputation as a musician who values authenticity and shared experience over spectacle. Beyond music, his influence extended into literature, film, and civic discourse, where his reflections on identity, responsibility, and resilience continued to shape national conversations.

Today, as America looks back on the release of Springsteen’s first album, the moment stands as more than a musical milestone. It represents the emergence of a storyteller whose work has accompanied the country through triumphs and trials alike. From small town beginnings to international stages, Springsteen’s career illustrates how art rooted in everyday life can achieve lasting cultural significance.

The anniversary of his debut underscores the enduring relevance of music that speaks honestly about work, hope, and perseverance. More than five decades after that first release, Bruce Springsteen remains a defining figure in American culture, not because he chased trends, but because he stayed true to the stories of the people he has always represented.

ASBURY PARK, NJ — For those ready to rock out this summer, you can see former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth when he visits Monmouth County in June.

On Friday, June 5, Roth will perform at the Stone Pony Summer Stage as part of his David Lee Roth: Live In Concert tour, which will make a total of 30 stops across the country.

The tour will kick off at Airway Heights, WA, in April and conclude at Sturgis, SD, in August. Following Roth’s performance in New Jersey, he’ll head to The Paramount in Huntington, NY.

Roth’s “Live in Concert” tour marks his latest return to the stage after announcing his retirement in 2021, where he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “I am throwing in the shoes. I’m retiring.”

Following this announcement, Roth stayed away from the stage for about five years before breaking his retirement with a performance at the M3 Rock Festival in May 2025 and a performance at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in August 2025.

As the lead singer of Van Halen, he's contributed to hit songs such as “Jump,” “Panama,” “Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love” and more over the years.

In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and today has one Grammy award and multiple Grammy nominations.

When Roth performs at the Stone Pony Summer Stage in June, gates will open at 6 p.m. with the show set to begin at 7 p.m.
