It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always
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 the historic Burlington County Historical Society 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 Burlington, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

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.
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 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.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Green Acres Park with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
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 Hen of the Wood - Burlington or visit Grant 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.
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. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

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.
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 Burlington, 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.
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:
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 Burlington, 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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
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
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
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 Burlington, 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. 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.

From Camden and Cherry Hill to Trenton and the Jersey Shore, what about life in New Jersey do you want WHYY News to cover? Let us know.
Burlington County officials said the county has needed an emergency shelter for decades. According to them, it is the only county in New Jersey of its size that doesn’t have a dedicated shelter.
The first steps toward erecting the county’s first emergency shelter were taken Wednesday, with officials breaking ground at the Human Service complex in Westampton.
The shelter will be a standalone two-story building that is more than 33,000 square feet. It will provide sleeping accommodations, warm meals, showers, laundry facilities and bathrooms for adult men and women experiencing a housing emergency. It will also have 24-hour security and a medical triage that is not expected to impact local emergency services.
County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson, who has championed the emergency shelter since taking office in 2019, said she was watching the national trend on homelessness and wanted to address the issue in the county.
“We have a huge socioeconomic gap in Burlington County, so we’ve got to figure out a way to close the gap,” she said. “This homeless shelter is just one of the things that will help close that socioeconomic gap.”
According to the 2024 Point in Time Count conducted by Monarch Housing earlier this year, 1,005 people in the county were experiencing homelessness, an increase of 7% over the previous year and nearly double the count from 2022. According to the latest census figures, Burlington County’s population was 469,167. The count also identified that Black people were overrepresented in the homeless count at 55.8%, when compared to the county population of 19.3%.
Burlington County, New Jersey, distributes $290,000 to fight food insecurity
The county is fighting food insecurity by giving grants to food assistance organizations.

The county previously launched its “Housing Hub” in 2019 to assist residents who have emergency housing needs or are experiencing homelessness. More than 2,800 people were served by the hub in 2023. Currently, a network of agencies and providers collaborate to get people experiencing homelessness or a housing emergency temporary shelter, according to Pastor Darlene Trappier, founder and executive director of Mt. Holly-based Beacon of Hope.
“We do have contracts where we’re able to put them in motel placements,” she said. “We’re able to provide the motel placements throughout the year until cold blue season starts.”
Trappier herself experienced homelessness when she was living in Los Angeles as a 19-year-old with a 5-month-old baby. Her mother took her public assistance check and gave her a half-hour to leave the house.
“I had a choice, I either could go to the park with him … or I go down to Skid Row,” she said.
She chose to go to the park, but said she appealed to God to take her out of her situation and “put me in a position where I can help others not feel what I can feel.”
For Trappier, the new county-run shelter is “a haven of hope” that she likens to one-stop shopping because of its proximity to the county’s Human Services building, which is across the parking lot from the site of the shelter.
“They can go there to get the services that they need, and come back over here,” she added. “It’s all encompassed together to meet not just a part of one person’s needs.”
The shelter is expected to be complete in approximately 16 to 20 months. It will cost more than $18 million. Nearly $6.5 million in federal and state grants will pay for the building.
Some residents have opposed the shelter, saying it will worsen homelessness. Hopson said that the shelter will help people and give them easy access to services that will help them.
“The reality is most homeless people are the ones at risk, not our residents,” she said. “It is my hope that they will find it in their hearts to understand why this is such a need and why we’ve selected this location.”

Burlington County is celebrating the arrival of autumn with the Autumn Lands festival at Historic Smithville Park in Eastampton on Saturday, Nov. 2. The free festival, running from 1 to 7 p.m., will feature a wide array of seasonal foods, music, entertainment, and activities for all ages.
Headlining this year’s event are the Axe Women Loggers of Maine, an all-female team of competitive logging sports athletes who will showcase their skills in log chopping, sawing, axe throwing, and log rolling. Visitors can also explore a Viking encampment, enjoy performances by the Autumn Winds Circus, and participate in a hunt for classic movie monsters. Keep an eye out for Beetlejuice and other ghostly characters roaming the Smithville grounds, and brave the haunted maze in the boxwoods of Smithville Mansion.
The festival offers a variety of fall activities, including pumpkin painting, leaf pressing, and bonfire s’mores. Attendees can vote for their favorite scarecrow on display along Park Avenue and enjoy a magic lantern show, live music, a beer garden, and food trucks.
As part of the ongoing Burlington County Troll Trek public art exhibition, visitors can also spot two of the 19 trolls placed around the county during the festival.
Burlington County Commissioner Director Felicia Hopson praised the festival as a “fantastic way” to experience the natural beauty, art, and history of Smithville, the county’s first park and the crown jewel of their parks system. Commissioner Allison Eckel, liaison to the Department of Resource Conservation and Parks, described the event as a fun, family-friendly occasion that celebrates the season with a diverse mix of art, entertainment, music, and foods.

A Passaic County Burlington store is making a move this fall.
The discount department store’s Wayne Hills Mall location is relocating across the parking lot to replace a former Toys ”R” Us.
The shop previously located at 24 Wayne Hills Mall will be situated at 7 Wayne Hills Mall and officially open on Nov. 8.
Wayne’s Burlington location will feature a revamped store layout. Shoppers will be able to find discounts on Burlington’s usual items, including ladies’ apparel and accessories, menswear with an assortment of big and tall sizes, kidswear, baby gear, home décor and petcare products.
As Burlington moves to the new location, it is also looking to hire employees for several open positions. Those who are interested in applying can do so here.
Its grand opening weekend will run from Nov. 8-10 with deals and giveaways for customers. From Friday, Nov. 8 to Saturday, Nov. 9, the retailer will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the first 100 customers, who are 18 and older, will receive a $10 Bonus Card to use toward their purchase. On Sunday, Nov. 10, customers will receive a free Burlington umbrella when they visit the store.
Burlington Wayne Hills Mall will be open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday to Saturday from 9-12 a.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.
This recent relocation follows the opening of a Burlington at the River Front Center in Clifton on April 26, occupying a space that previously housed Bed Bath & Beyond. New Jersey now has 51 Burlington stores across the state.
Three more stores are planned to open on Nov. 1 in Bridgewater at 155 Promenade Blvd., Eatontown at 92 State Route 36 and Vauxhall at 2255 Springfield Ave.
The discount chain operates more than 1,057 stores nationwide, as of June 2024.

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ — Sample ballots for the 2024 General Election are on their way to the mailboxes of thousands of Burlington County voters, and election officials are advising those voters to keep and bring them to their polling spots — as it should save them time checking-in on Election Day.
“For the first time, we are printing a unique bar code on voters’ sample ballots. When they arrive at the polls, workers will scan the code to quickly verify the information to ensure the voter accesses the correct ballot,” said Burlington County Clerk Joanne Schwartz. “While it’s not a requirement, bringing your sample ballot is a simple and secure way for voters to easily check in at the polls.”
Voters who arrive at the polls without their sample ballot will still be permitted to vote with machines. Poll workers will look up their name and address to confirm their registration and ensure they vote with the correct ballot.

More than 300,000 sample ballots are being mailed to all registered voters who have not yet returned a vote-by-mail ballot. Voters who believe they did not receive one in error should contact the Burlington County Clerk’s Office at 609-265-5122.
In addition to the bar code for check-in, the sample ballot contains a voter’s polling location and an image of what their ballot looks like, including the candidates for elected offices and any special questions up for vote.
Copies of all towns’ sample ballots are available online at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/1172/Sample-Ballots .
The sample ballots also contain a web address for an online How to Vote video that explains the process of voting with new machines being deployed to all polling locations during the early voting period and on Election Day. The video can also be viewed on the Burlington County Election Services located here: https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/593/Election-Voter-Services .
“The new machines are easy to use, and many Burlington County voters are already familiar with them from this year’s primary or from early voting in prior elections,” said Burlington County Superintendent of Elections Dawn Marie Addiego. “For voters who didn’t participate in this year’s primary election or early voting, the machines will be new and different. We’re strongly encouraging voters to watch the video to learn how the new machines work so it’s not brand new on Election Day.”
Voters with questions can also call the Burlington County Elections hotline at 609-265-VOTE (8683).
