We have hired Always Best Care. We have them for 5 to 6 weeks now. My mother practically does everything herself, but sometimes they might fix her her lunch, there might be a little bit of shopping, and they take her to her appointment. My mother is fine. The hours are fine. She got the hours that she requested. I know she is being billed on her credit card. They have been very helpful and very cooperative. The women always call back.

“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 Sea Girt, NJ

How does In-home Senior Care in Sea Girt, 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 Sea Girt, 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 Sea Girt, 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 Sea Girt, 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 Sea Girt, 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 Sea Girt,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 Sea Girt, 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.

Corcoran Baer & McIntosh, a franchisee of Corcoran Group LLC, is proud to announce the acquisition of Ocean Pointe Realtors, located in Sea Girt, NJ. The addition of Ocean Pointe Realtor’s exceptional group of agents and prime Sea Girt office space adds to Corcoran Baer & McIntosh’s established presence in residential markets both north and south of New York City.

“We are thrilled to announce our expansion into Sea Girt by welcoming Ocean Pointe Realtors into our growing Corcoran Baer & McIntosh team,” said Debbie Blankfort, Broker and Owner of Corcoran Baer & McIntosh. “Ocean Pointe Realtors has been a dedicated resource to south Monmouth County residents since 1992, showcasing hard work, integrity, and exceptional client service. These attributes, align not only with the values we commit ourselves to at Corcoran Baer & McIntosh, but also to the values of Corcoran as a whole.”

Founded in 1992 by Joseph Riordan, Ocean Pointe Realtors has grown to become a dominant presence along the Jersey Shore, a community renowned for its small-town charm, impressive beaches, and coveted coastal homes. Riordan, along with Co-Owner Bart Dennin, have grown the brokerage to include 22 experienced agents who are continually recognized for both their best-in-class localized service, and their high-ranking sales volume across key south Monmouth County markets, including Sea Girt, Brielle, Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Wall Township, Spring Lake, and more.

“After meeting with Corcoran Baer & McIntosh and sharing our business philosophy, I instantly knew that our company cultures were a perfect match,” said Riordan. “Corcoran’s far-reaching presence, both within the greater tri-state area and beyond, offers natural connections to our coastal market, while Corcoran’s outstanding technology platform helps guarantee the continued success of our award-winning team.”

Through welcoming Ocean Pointe Realtors’ team of 22 agents and adding their Sea Girt office under their banner, Corcoran Baer & McIntosh’s overall footprint, across Rockland County and Orange County in New York and Monmouth County and Bergen County in New Jersey, will surpass 90 agents and total 6 offices.

In March 2021, Corcoran CEO Pam Liebman announced the affiliate partnership launch of Corcoran Baer & McIntosh, stating, “I respect the dedication that Debbie [Blankfort] and Adam [Blankfort] have for our industry and am confident they will use that enthusiasm to continue to foster the best possible growth environment for all of their agents. I couldn’t be happier to welcome them to the Corcoran family.”

Corcoran’s affiliate network has grown steadily both domestically and abroad since its launch in February 2020. In 2022 alone, Corcoran welcomed and expanded affiliates in Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Washington, Tennessee, New Jersey, the Cayman Islands, and Turks & Caicos. Recently, Corcoran announced its first European affiliate, Corcoran Magri Properties, based in Lake Garda, Italy.

A restaurant in a farmhouse that dates back to the 1800s, rustic ambiance embodied by historic exposed beams, and personal alcoves that'll truly make your date night intimate. What could be more charming?

Lovefood, a London-based platform, recently crowned the most charming eateries in each state. The criteria were "romantic date venues with breathtaking views," and places that are the "sweetest, quirkiest, [and] loveliest."

New Jersey's winner? Sea Girt's romantic Scarborough Fair is New Jersey's "most charming restaurant," in this national list.

The property was an active farm site until the late 1970s. Now, it's the perfect place not only for date night but memorable family dinners.

Around Christmas time, people flock year after year for a reservation to see the restaurant's Christmas Extravaganza, where the staff festoons the building's high ceilings and arches with holiday decor.

Lovefood said "there are countless quirky design touches, from the curved brick staircases to the brass lamps from Turkey," and "the food is eclectic and delicious, with a particular focus on fresh, sustainable seafood."

The restaurant's website reads "we pride ourselves in sourcing humanely-raised organic meats and poultry, wild-caught fish and shellfish — purchased fresh from local cooperatives."

Try appetizers like the Spanakopita (phyllo pastry, spinach, feta cheese and fresh dill, served with Greek salad) and decadent entrees like pan-seared day-boat scallops (with riced cauliflower, baby carrots in a lemon grass butter reduction).

The menu also boasts a massive cocktail and wine list, and the website says the staff are connoisseurs in wine pairing. The bottle selection includes wines from Europe, Australia, Oregon and California.

New Jersey environmental officials issued water quality alerts at 16 ocean and bay beaches on Tuesday, Aug. 8, where high levels of a bacterial found in feces were detected. On Wednesday, 15 of those beaches were considered safe for swimming once again.

The beaches showed high levels of enterococci, a microbe commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. High levels of the bacteria can indicate the presence of other, illness-causing pathogens, viruses and protozoa, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Feces' bacteria typically ends up in creeks and rivers through storm runoff, which flushes pet, livestock or wildlife droppings into waterways. Leaky septic and sewer systems are other common causes of high bacteria levels in water.

Young children, elderly adults and people with compromised immune systems are the most at risk of severe illness from swimming in contaminated water, according to the EPA. Swimming in water tainted with sewage or animal waste can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, headache and fever, as well as ear, nose and throat infections, according to the agency.
