Home Care In Caldwell, NJ

Home Care Caldwell, 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 Caldwell Parsonage 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 Caldwell, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Caldwell, 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.

Home Care Caldwell, NJ
Respite Care

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. 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 Stephanie's Italian Restaurant or visit West Caldwell Historical Society, 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.

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 Caldwell, 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 Caldwell, 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.
 Senior Care Caldwell, NJ

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 Caldwell, 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 Caldwell, 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

By Joshua Burd

Accordia has secured final site plan approval from local officials for a project that will bring 92 luxury apartments to West Caldwell.

The firm, which is based in nearby Fairfield, said it has now closed on the parcel at 780 Passaic Ave. and is on track to break ground in the first quarter of 2026. Its plans at the site call for a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom rentals, with a location directly across from the Mountain Ridge Country Club and minutes from Route 46 and interstates 80 and 280.

The project known as The Vail will also be 16 miles west of New York City.

“West Caldwell has been an amazing town to work with,” said Gregory Wovna, Accordia’s senior vice president for development. “They’ve been supportive and responsive every step of the way, and we are ecstatic to be part of the community.”

Jason R. Bogart, principal with Accordia, added that the project reflects the firm’s broader strategy of expanding its development pipeline in key asset classes and investments in top-tier markets, including New Jersey and the Sunbelt.

“As developers, we aim to deliver long-term value through each thoughtfully designed residential community we undertake,” he said. “The Vail will serve everyone from commuters and professionals to families and those looking to downsize.”

According to the firm, each unit will include high-end appliances and in-unit washers and dryers, while some will have private balconies. Residents will also have access to amenities such as a fully equipped fitness center, a community room and coworking offices, as well as reserved covered parking.

Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners is the project’s architect.

“Their expertise in functional design and attention to detail makes them an ideal partner for this development,” Wovna said. “We’re confident that their work will elevate the living experience and fit well within the community.”

, which is minutes from NJ Transit rail service in Montclair, has a population of around 11,000. Accordia touted the township’s municipal services, school system and proximity to the vibrant downtowns of Caldwell, Montclair and Bloomfield.

CALDWELL, NJ -- The Caldwell Borough Council rescinded a contract to Caravella Demolition for $44,000 for Phase One of the rehabilitation of the old library building.

In its place, the council approved a contract with Jovin Demo New York, Inc. for $52,000 for the interior demolition of the building.

Mayor Garrett Jones thanked former Councilman Rick Alonso for his actions that stopped the demolition of the building that had not been approved by the council when demolition was about to begin.

Also rescinded was a previous resolution that authorized the purchase of a fuel tank from Independence Contractors for $396,900. The borough has since entered into a shared service agreement with West Caldwell to purchase gasoline.

During committee reports, council president Darrin Daniolowicz reminded residents that signups for fall recreation programs are open. Daniolowicz also noted Caldwell’s Porchfest will be Saturday, Sept. 6 with a rain date of Sept. 13.

Councilwoman Barbara Buechner announced that the dedication of the Grover Cleveland Carriage House and Visitor Center will be on Sept. 20 at 1 p.m. Councilman Kris Brown confirmed that on Sept. 20, Caldwell’s Fire Department’s new ladder truck #526 will have a “wet down” from 3-8 p.m.

Jones thanked all departments, including the CPD, Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department and the Department of Public Works, for their part in the recent National Night Out that took place at Caldwell University. Thanks were given to Assemblyman Al Barlas and Tom Tucci for their assistance in securing funding for the new ladder truck and their commitment for additional funding to replace another aging fire truck.

Jones also requested that Palumbo contact Essex County and request that they finish the crosswalks along Bloomfield Avenue, noting that they are “not finished and are a pedestrian hazard.”

Palumbo reported that the sale of 22 Smull Avenue was completed with the property selling for $585,000. An update on 80 Bloomfield Avenue was provided and Palumbo confirmed that sheet rocking is now taking place as well as exterior work.

The council discussed the hazardous usage of e-bikes within the borough, particularly the dangers of usage by minors. Comments included that there are already ordinances and state laws in place and that enforcement needs to be “stepped up.” It was noted that Class 1 and 2 e-bikes were included in the ordinance, but Class 3, 4, and 5 were not. Buechner suggested that the school district also be involved in educating the students about the hazards involved. Another concern was the lack of lights on the e-bikes for those driving them at night.

The next Borough Council meeting will be on Sept. 2.

Japanese cuisine has become a staple dining choice in New Jersey. The range of dishes provides something for everyone’s palate. Soba noodles, tempura, and ramen have a strong following, and every town has its favorite sushi restaurant. Omakase, which means “I leave it up to you,” is a form of Japanese dining that invites guests to surrender to the chef’s inspiration and creativity.

Japanese cuisine has become a staple dining choice in New Jersey. The range of dishes provides something for everyone’s palate. Soba noodles, tempura, and ramen have a strong following, and every town has its favorite sushi restaurant. Omakase, which means “I leave it up to you,” is a form of Japanese dining that invites guests to surrender to the chef’s inspiration and creativity. Diners do not choose what they would like to eat; instead, the chef presents his dishes, inspired by what is fresh, in season, and the mood he wants to create. Typically, this experience is a 10-to 15-course meal that includes sushi and other specialty ingredients, such as Wagyu beef. Ichiryu, located at 691 Bloomfield Avenue in West Caldwell, is a new restaurant that has brought the art of Omakase dining to Essex County. Read more about Ichiryu in West Caldwell, New Jersey, and the owners, Rudy Tan and Nikki Wang.

Ichiryu is located at 691 Bloomfield Avenue, West Caldwell. Rudy Tan and his partner, Nikki Wang, had dreams of opening a restaurant where they could be their own bosses. Rudy wanted to follow his love of Japanese cuisine and his passion to create Omakase, and Nikki wanted to share her love of desserts and bubble teas.

The couple moved to West Orange and began searching throughout Essex County for the perfect space for their restaurant. They found a location at the beginning of 2023, and in April 2024, Rudy started serving an Omakase experience. The restaurant is designed to evoke a speakeasy atmosphere, and Rudy and Nikki’s welcoming personalities further enhance the intimate setting of the Omakase meal.

Rudy, who is from Indonesia, came to the United States in 2001. He began working in restaurants as a busboy, a server, and a manager, but he wanted to change the direction of his future and learn everything about sushi. He worked as an apprentice at various Japanese restaurants in New York, which led him to work at the now-closed Michelin-starred restaurant Three Pillars. He then worked at Sushi by Bou in Jersey City, where he refined his craft and developed his personal style.

Rudy is inspired by traditional Japanese techniques, combined with subtle modern twists that represent his vision. He explained that every dish starts with the rice, which must be of the highest quality. Rudy only uses the freshest ingredients and explained that there is a saying in Japanese that translates to “It has to be more than perfect.” This is his mantra, and his work ethic, which shines through in every dish he prepares.

The Montclair Girl loved the Money Dish, a $100 bill made of rice paper, served with yellowtail and fried Japanese Sweetfish, allowing you to assemble your own sushi roll. The Wagyu beef, accompanied by a soy-marinated quail egg, was stunning and unforgettable. Rudy’s menu changes on a weekly to bi-weekly basis, allowing for a different experience every time.

Nikki, who spent a considerable amount of time traveling through Asia, loved discovering exotic flavors and wanted to share her unique culinary experiences with the United States. Bubble Tea became the vessel she chose to share all of the flavors from home and her travels. She is happy to customize drinks for customers based on their favorite flavors.

The Montclair Girl recommends the Dirty Brown Sugar Hojicha Latte, made with Hojicha tea. Nikki also makes dessert for the last course of the Omakase meal. We tried a dessert inspired by a Japanese parfait, which featured Ube and Rose ice cream with whipped cream cheese and toasted macadamia and coconut.

When customers make reservations, the restaurant always asks if there are any allergies or dietary restrictions, allowing everyone to enjoy this unique experience.

Ichiryu is open from 5PM-8PM Tuesday through Thursday, and 5PM-8:30PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Dining is by reservation only. Please call 973-567-5372 for reservations. Omakase time slots are 5PM and 7PM. Eight seats are available for each time slot — $ 120 per person for fifteen courses.

There is a parking lot behind the restaurant, allowing for easy parking amidst the high traffic of Bloomfield Avenue.
