Home Care Burlington, NJ

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.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Burlington, NJ?

lm-check

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.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

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.

lm-check

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.

Respite Care Services

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.

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.

Benefits of Home Care in Burlington, 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 - 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.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

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.

 Elderly Care Burlington, NJ

Affordable 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:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your NJ's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.

Assisted Living Referral Services

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.


Respite Care Burlington, NJ

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:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Burlington, NJ

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:

  • Granville Place
  • Masonic Village at Burlington
  • Complete Care at Burlington Woods
  • Resources For Independent Living
  • Complete Care at Marcella
  • Brookdale Westampton
Home Care Burlington, NJ

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 former chief financial officer for a not-for-profit that serves adults with disabilities in New Jersey has been charged with stealing $2.5 million from the company.

BUENA, N.J. (WPVI) -- The former chief financial officer for a not-for-profit agency that serves adults with disabilities in New Jersey has been charged with stealing $2.5 million from the company.

Colleen Witten of Buena, N.J., is accused of funneling some of it through a family business and using the funds for personal expenses.

Witten was the CFO and comptroller for OTC Services in Burlington County.

Authorities say she misappropriated company funds, transferring money into sham bank accounts.

According to court documents, Witten altered the company's board meeting minutes in 2023 to give her the authority to open a sham bank account in the company's name, with herself as the sole authorized signatory.

She allegedly took just over $2.5 million, using the money for personal credit card expenses, home renovations, the purchase of homes in Newfield, New Jersey and in Tennessee, plus a motorcycle, an RV and a Corvette.

There was no answer when Action News tried to talk to Colleen Witten and her husband Allan at their Buena home Wednesday.

Allan Witten faces a charge of receiving stolen property, accused of accepting nearly $200,000 that he knew was stolen. That money was allegedly funneled through a landscaping business owned by the couple.

OTC's Executive Director Isaac Manning said in a statement:

"I am grateful that our internal controls led to the discovery of this alleged theft, but we have implemented additional changes to strengthen our internal procedures even more, for the betterment of those we serve."

OTC officials say the incident has not impacted their services or financial stability.

She has since been terminated from the company.

Witten is also charged with tax evasion.

Her attorney, Brendan Kavanagh said in a statement Wednesday: "Ms. Witten has been very transparent and cooperative with the authorities from the start of this investigation. She is aware of the serious nature of the charges that have been filed against her. But like all persons who are charged criminally, she enjoys the presumption of innocence and we will leave the State to its proofs."

Burlington County has launched a new program to recycle unwanted books as part of its waste reduction efforts.

A book recycling bin has been added to the Burlington County Resource Complex in Florence. The bin allows residents to repurpose unwanted books rather than throw them in the trash, according to a county statement.

Hardback and paperback books in good condition will be accepted. All donated books will either be sold or recycled into new products by Phoenix-based recycler, BookDrop.

County residents can also bring unwanted books in good condition to the Burlington County Library’s Main Branch in Westampton.

“Bringing unwanted books to either our libraries or the Resource Recovery Complex is a great service that allows them to be sold or developed into new products,” Tom Pullion, a Burlington County commissioner, said. “It’s a simple step that prevents reusable materials from taking up space in our landfill.”

Textbooks will be accepted at the Resource Recovery Complex in Florence, but will not be accepted at the Burlington County Library. Neither site will accept books in poor condition.

The county also operates an e-waste drop-off in Florence for residents, which includes old televisions, computers, monitors, printers, cell phones and other small electronics.

“The more materials we can recycle, the less that ends up in the landfill,” Pullion said. “When our residents recycle, it helps the environment and saves towns on landfill disposal fees. Last year, more than 80 million pounds of recyclables were collected, saving Burlington County towns over $3.9 million in landfill tipping fees.”

The Resource Recovery Complex is open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon.

Local officials praise Burlington as a leader in starting county-wide services and hope their book recycling will continue to lead the way.

Book recycling efforts are also active in Mercer and Ocean counties.

Occupational Training Center Strengthens Financial Safeguards After Alleged Theft of $2.5M by Former CFO

BURLINGTON, NJ — A Burlington County not-for-profit organization is strengthening its internal procedures following alleged financial misconduct by its former Chief Financial Officer (CFO).New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J.

BURLINGTON, NJ — A Burlington County not-for-profit organization is strengthening its internal procedures following alleged financial misconduct by its former Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin announced on February 28 that Colleen Witten, the former CFO of the Occupational Training Center of Burlington County (OTC), had been charged with stealing millions of dollars from the agency. Witten, 55, of Buena, NJ, allegedly stole over $2.5 million from the company while also engaging in money laundering and tax evasion. Her husband, Allen, is accused of receiving property stolen from the agency.

The Occupational Training Center works with adults with disabilities to provide employment services, day services, and access to residential homes, helping them to reach their maximum potential.

The Attorney General's Office alleges that between May 2019 and March 2024, while Witten was OTC's Comptroller, and later, Chief Financial Officer, she used her positions to misappropriate approximately $2.58 million directly from the company’s legitimate bank accounts.

Witten allegedly transferred more than $500,000 to a landscaping company she controlled from June 2023 to March 2024, knowing that the transactions were designed to conceal the source of the money. Witten also allegedly failed to pay income taxes totaling $174,480 between July 2020 and April 2024. The AG's office further says that her husband, Allen, knowingly received $189,000 on March 7, 2024, knowing or believing the money had been stolen.

According to a statement released by OTC, the organization launched its own investigation after identifying a violation of internal procedures, finding that Witten had allegedly misappropriated money. OTC then immediately turned the information over to authorities and fired Witten and says that a “significant amount of the funds have been recovered” due to the non-profit’s “swift actions and full cooperation with law enforcement.”

While crediting its “robust existing internal controls” for discovering Witten’s alleged theft, OTC is now implementing enhanced oversight measures and stronger financial safeguards following an in-depth review of its protocols and procedures.

“Maintaining our clients’ trust and ensuring the integrity of our operations is paramount,” said Executive Director of OTC Services Isaac Manning. “While we were shocked by the alleged actions of our former CFO, we are steadfast in our commitment to learn from this experience. I am grateful that our internal controls led to the discovery of this alleged theft, but we have implemented additional changes to strengthen our internal procedures even more, for the betterment of those we serve.”

“The Board fully supports the leadership team’s swift response and strengthened safeguards,” added Franklin Gomez, President of the OTC Services Board of Directors. “Our priority is ensuring transparency and protecting the organization’s mission and those we serve.”

OTC officials say they are grateful to law enforcement and investigative agencies for their swift response to the incident, noting that their efforts have been instrumental in the recovery of a portion of the stolen funds.

If convicted, the Wittens both face both jail time and heavy fines.

Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure." - Abraham Lincoln

As many of you may have noticed all the very large trucks running through the cemetery, it is due to our latest expansion. The Department of Veterans affairs has issued us a Grant in the amount of $11,961,040.00 to have installed an additional 7520 preplaced crypts to continue to provide another service to all our deserving service members and their dependents. The construction will last up to this coming December (weather permitting). We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Respectively,

Kenneth Smith Jr Superintendent B.G. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery

On May 30, 1986, Governor Thomas H. Kean dedicated New Jersey's first state-operated veterans' cemetery as "a lasting memorial to those men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country's honor and freedom." On January 3, 1989, the cemetery was named for the principal guiding force behind its development U.S. Army Brigadier General William C. Doyle.

The facility was funded jointly by the state and federal governments and is managed by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. It is open to eligible Veterans; members of the Armed Forces or reserve units on active duty at the time of death; certain dependents and certain merchant marines and civilians who have been awarded veteran's status. Rules and eligibility requirements were established within the guidelines of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Washington, D.C.

The cemetery is located in Arneytown, North Hanover Township, Burlington County on Province Line Road, which intersects Route 664 to the north of the cemetery and Routes 537 and 528 to the south. Its central location, 15 miles southeast of Trenton, makes it easily accessible from the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway and Interstates 195 and 295.

The cemetery is a contemporary memorial type with all grave markers flush with ground level. It covers 225 acres and was designed to accommodate 171,000 veterans and their family members.

To provide privacy and protection from the elements for the bereaved, a chapel and committal service shelter are provided. The United States and New Jersey State flags are flown in the front court of the chapel in tribute to all veterans buried in the cemetery.

Professional, compassionate service to the bereaved is the concern of the experienced staff who are ready to provide assistance and comfort to the family in their time of need.

There is no finer tribute or more appropriate final resting-place for our valiant heroes than in a cemetery dedicated to them.

As a state shrine, Doyle Cemetery honors the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces. Approximately 13 burials occur each business day and the cemetery is visited by thousands of visitors each year.
