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 Burlington County Historical Society in Burlington, 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 Burlington, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I am a current client of this provider My brother is getting service from Always Best Care of Jersey South. So far, they've been good and responsive. The way that we have the care set up, they come two hours in the morning and two hours at night. There aren't many care providers that do the split hours, but it's necessary for our situation and they've done that. The cost is comparable, they all seem to be charging the same amount. In the three weeks, there were two times that the provider came at the last minute. There was a car accident, it happened twice, and in both situations, they found a replacement to come out.”

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 in Burlington, NJ 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.

More than 52,000 VBM ballots will be sent to voters ahead of the November 3 General Election. Most voters who requested a VBM ballot can expect it to arrive within two to three weeks. However, Mount Holly voters may receive their ballots later due to ongoing litigation involving a municipal candidate.
Voters can also request and pickup a VBM ballot in-person at the Burlington County Clerk’s Office (50 Rancocas Road, Mount Holly) and at the Burlington County Elections Building (301 Harper Drive, Moorestown)
If a ballot is lost, damaged, or contains an error, voters should contact the Burlington County Clerk's Election Section at 609-265-5229 or email [email protected].
Voters who do not receive their vote-by-mail ballot by October 5 should contact the County Clerk’s Office to request a duplicate.
“Voting by mail is a simple and secure method for voters to exercise their most fundamental right, and it continues to be a legal option for all registered voters,” said Burlington County Clerk Joanne Schwartz. “Voters may have heard about litigation involving vote by mail and the U.S. Postal Service, but at this time there are no impacts to New Jersey procedures; Burlington County voters can cast their VBM ballots as they always have, by mail, drop box, or by bringing their ballot directly to the Burlington County Board of Elections Office. If that changes, my office will immediately notify voters directly.”
Multiple ways to cast vote-by-mail ballots
Completed vote-by-mail ballots can be returned in person or by mail to the Burlington County Board of Elections office (301 Harper Drive, Moorestown) during regular hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays) before Election Day. On Election Day, November 3, ballots will be accepted at this location until the polls close at 8 p.m.
VBM ballots can also be submitted at any of the 29 secure ballot drop boxes across Burlington County by 8 p.m. on Election Day. A full list of drop box locations is available at https://www.burlingtoncountynj.gov/2102/Secure-Ballot-Drop-Boxes.
VBM ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by Election Day and be received within six days after the election. Election officials encourage all vote-by-mail voters to use secure drop boxes throughout the election period. Those returning ballots within two weeks of the election are strongly encouraged to use a drop box or deliver them in person rather than mail.
Vote-by-mail ballots may not be dropped off at an early voting location or Election Day polling place, but registered voters who received a VBM ballot may vote in-person with a provisional ballot at the polls.
Voters currently signed up to receive a vote-by-mail ballot who wish to opt out should contact the Clerk’s Office immediately at 609-265-5229.
Requesting a vote-by-mail ballot
Registered voters interested in voting with a VBM ballot can still request one in person, by mail, or online.

BURLINGTON, NJ — "Burlington," formerly known as "Burlington Coat Factory," is leaving its corporate headquarters along Route 130 after 50 years in the Garden State.
The home goods and clothing retailer will make a $370 million move to Philadelphia in what the business said was motivated by the need for more space.
The city is also contributing $30 million to Burlington's shift to the new West Philadelphia Schuylkill Yards development center that the business will call home at 3151 Market St.
According to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, 2,000 jobs will also come to the city over the next five years as a result of Burlington's relocation.
"Pennsylvania is competing to win," said Shapiro "...and were going to keep showing the world that Pennsylvania is open for business."
According to Burlington, their move across the Delaware River does not signify an abandonment of their roots or future endeavors in the Garden State.
"We continue to open stores in the state," Burlington said in a statement to NBC. "This is in no way a reflection of the current business climate in New Jersey and Burlington looks forward to continued warm relations with New Jersey State Government."
A spokesperson added that of the 8,000 current associates in the Garden State, a portion will move to the new headquarters, but did not specify on how many.
The New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA) took a critical spin on the move being a result of the unfavorable corporate tax landscape that, they said, continues to push businesses out or away from setting up shop in the state.
"Obviously, New Jersey maintains the highest corporate tax rate in the nation at 11.5%, while Pennsylvania is on a course to lower its top rate down to 4.9%. We have often said that many businesses do have the opportunity to move just across the river for a more competitive business environment, and we can certainly assume that figured into the decision here," said NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka.
Burlington will begin to move their teams to the new space no earlier than the end of 2028 through a phased-in approach.
The popular chain first opened in 1972 and operates more than 1,300 stores across the United States and Puerto Rico, including 57 throughout New Jersey.

Burlington County voters who requested mail-in ballots should begin checking their mailboxes. The Burlington County Clerk's Office began mailing more than 52,000 vote-by-mail (VBM) ballots this week ahead of the November 3 General Election, according to Insider NJ.
Most recipients can expect their ballot within two to three weeks.
Mount Holly voters may receive their ballots later than others because of ongoing litigation involving a municipal candidate, the Clerk's Office noted.
Burlington County Clerk Joanne Schwartz acknowledged that national news about mail-voting litigation and U.S. Postal Service operations may have concerned some residents.
She said those concerns have not affected New Jersey procedures, and that Burlington County voters retain all their usual return options.
Voters have several ways to submit finished ballots.
Completed VBM ballots can be dropped off at the Burlington County Board of Elections office at 301 Harper Drive in Moorestown during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays), or by 8 p.m. on Election Day itself.
Alternatively, any of the 29 secure ballot drop boxes spread across the county are available until polls close at 8 p.m. on November 3. A full list of drop box locations is posted at burlingtoncountynj.gov.
Ballots returned through the postal service must carry a postmark no later than Election Day and arrive within six days after the election.
The Clerk's Office strongly encourages voters returning ballots in the final two weeks before Election Day to use a drop box or deliver in person rather than relying on the mail.
The national backdrop is worth noting.
An Associated Press report published by the Daily Camera found that ballot rejections for late postmarks surged in Washington and Oregon following U.S. Postal Service operational changes, with some rural counties seeing rejection rates above 4% of all ballots cast in this year's primaries.
Clerk Schwartz said that, as of now, none of those federal-level changes have altered how Burlington County processes or accepts VBM ballots, and her office will notify voters directly if that changes.
The Burlington County Superintendent of Elections is hosting outreach events in September and October to help residents register, ask questions about the process, and practice on county voting machines before Election Day.
Superintendent of Elections Dawn Marie Addiego said her office is bringing registration forms, information, and equipment directly into communities so voters can feel comfortable with the process, whether they are first-time registrants or simply want a refresher on the machines.
Events run through public libraries, farmers markets, and community gatherings across the county, according to burlingtoncountynj.gov.
Voters who have not yet received their VBM ballot by October 5 should contact the Clerk's Election Section at 609-265-5229 or email [email protected]. Applications for a mail-in ballot submitted online or by mail must reach the Clerk's Office by October 27.
After that date, voters must apply in person at either 50 Rancocas Road in Mount Holly or 301 Harper Drive in Moorestown.
Registered voters who no longer want a VBM ballot should contact the Clerk's Office immediately at the same number to opt out.

“Burlington County has one of the best park systems in the region, and the Arts After Dark festival helps us showcase traditional and cutting-edge art forms in one of our county’s most scenic destinations,” added Commissioner Randy Brolo. “Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy this unique celebration and help support the arts in Burlington County.”
Creative Spark Art Challenge exhibit
Among the featured attractions at this year’s Arts After Dark is a special exhibit of artwork created during the Burlington County Creative Spark Art Challenge. The County-sponsored event invited artists to one of two August workshops where they were given just three hours to create an original work of art based on a “mystery theme” provided when they arrived.
The event was the brainchild of Tiffany Case, a museum attendant and art class instructor with the Burlington County Parks System. Twenty-four artists participated, and Emilie Holms’ acrylic painting was selected as the winner. Three others were selected for Honorable Mention, and all 24 works of art created during the challenge will be on display in the festival’s Pop-Up Gallery.
Other featured attractions
Another showpiece attraction is the 4th Annual Crankie Festival where renowned artists, puppeteers, musicians, and performers will bring stories to life on hand-illustrated scrolling canvases.
There will also be exhibits of photography and glass art in the Smithville Mansion Annex and Workers House galleries, plus a projection light show, a “yarn storm” fiber art installation on Smithville Park grounds, mural paintings, live music, food trucks, a wine and cheese tasting, and more.
A special photography exhibit showcasing images from classic and modern rock concerts will be on display in the Smithville Mansion Annex Gallery, and works from glass artist Michael Rearden will be exhibited in the Workers House Gallery.
