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 Toms River, NJ

How does In-home Senior Care in Toms River, 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 Toms River, 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 Toms River, 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 Toms River, 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 Toms River, 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 Toms River,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 Toms River, 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.

The Board of Education introduced an updated policy to strike a balance between academics and the activities students have beyond school.

TOMS RIVER, NJ — It's been a debate for several years: Is homework beneficial, and if so, how much is too much?

In the Toms River Regional Schools, an update to the district's homework policy aims to bring balance to the debate. While it does not eliminate homework entirely, it does aim to deter excessive assignments and busywork.

The policy introduced Wednesday night on first reading sets guidelines for the amount of homework teachers should assign based on the age and grade level of students. It also bans assignments given out before a break with a due date of the return to school.

The update, the first to the policy since 2006, explicitly acknowledges the demands on students' time in an era where high school students in particular are expected to build a resume of activities in addition to their academics for their college applications.

It sets general guidelines of 10 minutes per day for each grade level reached, with the time allotted taking into account "all aspects of homework assignments — outside reading, research, drill work, etc." That would mean 10 minutes of homework daily for a first grader, while a high school senior should expect about two hours of homework, according to the policy.

Find out what's happening in Toms Riverwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

The "10-minute rule" has become the standard for homework, based on dozens of research studies that have looked at the value and effectiveness of homework.

"Every child should be doing homework, but the amount and type that they're doing should be appropriate for their developmental level," Harris Cooper, a neuroscience researcher at Duke University, told US News & World Report in March 2022. Cooper reviewed more than 60 studies on the effectiveness of homework in his book "The Battle Over Homework". "For teachers, it's a balancing act. Doing away with homework completely is not in the best interest of children and families. But overburdening families with homework is also not in the child's or a family's best interest."

In 2023, high school students in particular have significant demands on their time — demands they are expected to carry if they are planning to apply to colleges, particularly the most competitive colleges. Straight As and top-flight SAT scores alone aren't sufficient; most universities want to see students who are "well-rounded," which for many translates to students who are participating in at least one club or sport, and frequently more, along with compiling significant hours volunteering in their communities. Many also work part-time.

That is explicitly acknowledged in the updated policy, as it relates to homework assignments.

"In some circumstances larger projects or assignments expected to exceed the accepted time limitations described in this policy may be appropriate," the update says. "The Board of Education has determined these should only be assigned after strong consideration of the varied demands on students' time and attention, (Co-Curricular, Athletic, Enrichment, Work, Family, Religious Obligations, Volunteering, etc). "

"This leaves room to mandate assignments teachers feel strongly about," the update says. "All students should be strongly encouraged by teachers to participate in as many voluntary enrichment activities as their time, activity level, and family situation allow."

The updated policy, which will be up for final approval at the October board meeting, emphasizes homework as a way of students practicing what they have learned in school, board member Michele Williams said.

Ready or not, spooky season is in full swing, ya'll! By now, the decorations have been hung, the skeletons have been erected on the front lawn, and you've probably moved on to picking out the candy bars you'll be giving out to the trick-or-treaters before too long.

Halloween is almost here! Can you believe it? We get pretty into the spirit here in the Garden State. After all, the town of Haddonfield in the "Halloween" movies with Michael Myers was inspired by the Haddonfield in Camden County, South Jersey. Also Netflix's new series "The Watcher" is based on a house within the town of Westfield, NJ. So, aside from Salem, Massachusetts, not sure you need any more proof that New Jersey is THE PLACE to be for Halloween-lovers.

One of the most Halloween-obsessed towns in all o the Garden State is one nestled in the heart of Ocean County. Toms River goes ALL OUT for Halloween year-in and year-out. If their annual Halloween parade is any indication of their love for the holiday, that's all the proof you need.

People flock from all over to attend the Halloween parade sponsored by the Toms River Fire Company. Now, before we continue, we do have to specify that it's Company 1 who is responsible for the parade every year. Yes, there's more than one fire company in that town because the town itself is HUGE.

The parade dates all the way back to 1919 and has been a staple community event ever since. It was devastating to so many when they cancelled the parade during the pandemic. Obviously, they don't have to worry about having to cancel anything this year.

The town did, however, choose to move a very important Halloween activity: trick-or-treating. They decided they didn't want children to trick-or-treat the same night of the parade. So, what did the powers-that-be do? Well, they switched the trick-or-treating day to Monday, October 30th rather than holding it on Tuesday. The parade is Tuesday night (October 31st), so they'd rather the children go from house to house the day before the parade.

How do you feel about that? Does trick-or-treating on any other day besides Halloween feel the same? Halloween is a VIBE. If you plan on attending the parade, then you're probably happy about the switch. Still, don't you think it's weird not to have the kids trick-or-treat on the actual day of Halloween?
