“We hired Always Best Care two weeks ago for my mom. The woman comes in”

We hired Always Best Care two weeks ago for my mom. The woman comes in three days a week to assist my mother with doing the wash, keeping the house picked up, and just talking to her. She’s wonderful. We interviewed several people, and there was just something about the way they were organized in their presentation and their follow up. that impressed us. They were a level above the other ones that we spoke to. They really listen to you about your needs and work very hard to match the caregiver up with what you’re looking for. We were very impressed with them.

In-Home Care Oakhurst, NJ

How does In-home Senior Care in Oakhurst, NJ work?

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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. When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

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.

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 ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Senior Care Oakhurst, NJ

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.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, 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:

Comfort
Comfort

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, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old. With the help of elderly care in Oakhurst, 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.

Healthy Living
Healthy Living

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.

Independence
Independence

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 an assisted living community. 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.

Cost and Convenience
Cost and Convenience

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 to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, can be 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 in Oakhurst, NJ 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.

Empowers Seniors

Affordable Care Plans

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:

Veteran's Benefits
Veteran's Benefits

Aid and Attendance benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance

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.

Private Insurance
Private Insurance

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.

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

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.

Respite Care Oakhurst, NJ

During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.

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 Oakhurst,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.

Caregivers Oakhurst, NJ

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 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:

An assessment of your senior loved one

01

An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one to remain in their own home

02

Reviewing a detailed Care Plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs

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.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital delivers in a big way

OAKHURST, NJ -- Many of my readers have been following my posts in regards to the Howell hoarding victims recovering at Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital.

I have donated my time rehabilitating many of these dogs -- and so has the incredible staff. From veterinarians to cleaning crew, every single member of this hospital has spent innumerable hours caring for these dogs.

Dr. Scott Delaney, DVM, owner of the hospital, felt it necessary to take these

dogs in and provide them with surgeries, spaying and neutering, medications, and other healthcare and humane services they so desperately needed -- without asking for any compensation at all.

The public has been outstanding -- donating blankets, towels, food, toys and treats, which has been such a tremendous help. Thank you to everyone who has donated.

With the exception of a few dogs, almost every Howell dog has been adopted to new families, and many by staff members.

Recently, a client of mine who lives in Northern New Jersey (and adopted one of these dogs from St. Hubert's) was invited to bring their new dog to the hospital for a complete wellness exam -- at no cost. After their visit I got an email from them thanking me for the referral. Despite a 45-minute drive they plan on making Oakhurst their official veterinary hospital. This was due to the exceptional care and attention they and their dog received during their visit.

Who wouldn't? Despite the expansiveness of the facility and staff, this very large hospital delivers intimacy and one-on-one care that goes well beyond anything I -- or any of my clients -- have experienced. One leaves the facility feeling as though they are the only client they have.

If you have a dog or cat who has vet phobias, this is one hospital you can visit and not worry about pets becoming stressed. This is because the entire veterinary staff -- unlike others in the field -- have an incredible expanse of knowledge in animal behavior. Every measure is taken to ensure that each pet who visits their facility does so stress-free.

I discovered this gem of a hospital a couple of years ago when I had to bring my sister's vet-aggressive German Shepherd there for an emergency visit. I've never seen a dog more calm and relaxed, nor experienced staff so kind and patient. Honestly, I don't even think the dog knew he was at a vet's office!

Normally I don't blatantly promote businesses in my column. But, I have to say that this hospital is one of the most unique, and offers such tremendously relaxing exams I have yet to witness to date. From the beautiful lobby with soft, warm lighting and flat screen televisions, on-site pharmacy, to its many hi-tech surgical and treatment rooms, this place never ceases to blow me away every time I walk through the door.

It's certainly worth the ride, especially if you are looking for the intimacy of a small town vet, but want the brightest, most experienced vets in the industry taking care of your pets.

I'd like to thank Dr. Delaney and staff at Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital for their tireless care of the Howell hoarding victims. They have made many dogs who had no future happy ... and their new owners happy as well.

Rebecca Fleming, now a client of the hospital sought Karen's help several years ago when she and her husband Marc Dembling rescued a male Mountain Feist and discovered he had serious human- and dog-aggression issues, as well as intense resource guarding problems. "Karen Fazio is a wonderful, loving, kind trainer and behaviorist. She significantly helped Marc Dembling and I with our rescue, Jackie Chan," says Rebecca.

Kathryn Miller rescued her young Cattle Dog mix, Delphine, several years ago from a rescue while visiting friends while on vacation in California. Delphine suffered from generalized anxiety, dog-related aggression, human-directed aggression, excessive barking and separation anxiety. "Delphine is a different dog from 2 years ago. She is such a good girl. She is more trusting of people these days. She now knows neighbors and I can even stop and chat with them while she calmly hangs out or lies in the grass until I'm finished ... or she'll even go up to them to greet them. Ever so grateful that you are in our lives," Kathryn said.

Since many of her cases involve complex behavior issues, she works closely alongside the hospital's team of ten exceptionally talented veterinarians for ancillary support. This combination of veterinarian-behavioral care provides patients with a global support system available all in one convenient location.

Beloved Jersey Shore Eatery Opens New Location In Monmouth County, NJ

Not long ago, I read an article by Adam Horvath who writes for Jersey Bites.

Not long ago, I read an article by Adam Horvath who writes for Jersey Bites. He was writing about three popular food brands that originated at the Jersey Shore, specifically in Point Pleasant.

The companies are now nationally known, and you can probably guess, he was writing about Jersey Mike's Subs, Bubbakoo's Burritos, and Surf Taco Coastal Cuisine.

They are multimillion-dollar companies that only hope to continue to grow in the future. So, I started thinking, "what's the next big food chain to come out of the Jersey Shore?"

Get our free mobile app

I immediately think about Hoagitos in Belmar! I really enjoy highlighting this Jersey Shore eatery, and guess what? They are opening a new location! Details and pictures below...

Hoagitos has been a Belmar staple for a handful of years. Random story, many years ago, I remember working at the Asbury Park Boardwalk studio as an intern with 94.3 The Point. Right across from our boardwalk studio was a new sandwich place called "Hoagitos". I wasn't making money as an intern so I was pretty much-losing money because I would eat multiple pork-roll sandwiches from Hoagitos every morning. I couldn't resist!

Anyway, I am happy to be getting the word out about their brand-new location in Monmouth County. The new spot is at the Towne Center Plaza in Oakhurst. Located at 2005 Route 35 Unit 6. This is their second Jersey Shore location. One day, I can see Hoagitos having hundreds of locations throughout the country, just like Jersey Mike's.

The menu is unique and the food is always so fresh. From the Hoagitos website:

Hoagitos is the latest restaurant to develop out of the flourishing trend of mixing fast food convenience with high quality fare. Priding ourselves on our home roasted meats and fresh ingredients, Hoagitos strives to provide a deliciously new and fresh alternative to Belmar & Oakhurst residents, beachgoers and visitors, serving cooked to order "Hoagitos", or mini-subs, sliders and sides with speed and care. We are committed to bringing Belmar & Oakhurst a high quality semi-gourmet meal option that maintains the speed and easy eating factor expected from casual fare at a price that keeps the wallet happy.

Take a look inside the new Hoagitos in Oakhurst:

In March, I came across an article by Adam Horvath who writes for Jersey Bites. He was writing about three popular food brands that originated at the Jersey Shore, specifically in Point Pleasant. The companies are now nationally known and as you probably know he was going into detail about Jersey Mike's Subs, Bubbakoo's Burritos, and Surf Taco Coastal Cuisine. They are multimillion-dollar companies that plan to keep growing. So I started thinking, "what's the next big food chain to come out of the Jersey Shore?"

After reading Adam's article, that same week, I posted a piece that was titled "The Future! The Next Big Jersey Shore Food Chain Is From Belmar". The feedback was tremendous and many people agreed that Hoagitos could easily be the next big food chain to come out of the Jersey Shore. With only one location in the Belmar Plaza, at the time, my opinion might have been far-fetched but with the recent news of Hoagitos adding a new location, my random thought could become a reality.

Listen to Jimmy G nights on 94.3 The Point and download our free 94.3 The Point app.

With that, a huge congratulations to Hoagitos! The delicious sandwich shop will be adding a new location in the Oakhurst Towne Center, which is located on Route 35 North. The Oakhurst Towne Center also is home to Rook Coffee, Broad Street Dough Co, and Playa Bowls. The new storefront is currently being built and according to NJ.com, Hoagitos plans to build an open-air front design with a dining area featuring a ledge that doubles as seating for customers. Hoagitos hopes to open the new Oakhurst location sometime in July. (KEEP SCROLLING FOR MOUTHWATERING PICTURES)
