Home Care In East Rutherford, NJ

Home Care East Rutherford, 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 Kip Homestead 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 East Rutherford, 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 East Rutherford, 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 East Rutherford, 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 Vesta Wood-Fired or visit Iviswold, 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 East Rutherford, 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 East Rutherford, 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 East Rutherford, 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 East Rutherford, 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

New Jersey health officials issued a warning about a potential measles exposure during the Shakira concert at MetLife Stadium.

On Tuesday, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) announced that a non-New Jersey resident attended the concert while infected with the disease. The concert took place from Thursday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Anyone who attended the concert and suspects a measles exposure or illness should call a health care provider before going to any medical office or emergency department, officials said. You should not visit a medical facility without calling ahead. Anyone who was exposed at the concert could develop symptoms as late as June 6.

Those who are at risk of being infected by the measles are people who have not been fully vaccinated or have not had measles in the past. The MMR vaccine – which is administered in two doses – is the safest and most effective way to protect yourself against measles, mumps and rubella. The vaccine also prevents complications caused by those three diseases.

Health officials recommend that residents stay up to date on routine vaccinations, including MMR shots. Anyone traveling internationally should also be fully vaccinated before traveling and babies between 6 months and 11 months should get one dose of the MMR vaccine before traveling and two more doses after their first birthday.

Measles symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes and a rash that usually appears between three to five days after symptoms begin. The rash normally begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline and spread downward to the neck, torso, arms, legs and feet. Measles can also cause pneumonia and swelling of the brain. It can also lead to miscarriage in pregnant people, premature birth or a low-birth-weight baby, officials said.

The virus spreads through the air when someone coughs or sneezes and can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area. People can also get sick when they come in contact with mucus or saliva from an infected person.

Queen Bey is about to be the Queen of New Jersey.

That's right. Beyoncé is gearing up for FIVE SOLD-OUT shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ as the Cowboy Carter Tour comes East to the New York City area.

Beyoncé is scheduled to perform at MetLife Stadium on Thursday, May 22; Saturday May 24; Sunday, May 25; Wednesday, May 28; and Thursday, May 29.

We've put together a comprehensive list of everything you'll need to know for the show right here. We've got a peek at the expected setlist, details on parking, baggage policies, and more:

The "show" starts each night at 7:00 pm. The gates to the stadium will open at 5:30 pm nightly. Here's a more detailed time breakdown (keep scrolling for EVEN MORE info):

We'll update this list when we have more information from stadium officials (including the merch tent hours and more).

Nope. There isn't an official opening act for Beyoncé. I mean just imagine having to open the show for her? That seems too difficult for any performer.

Per our best guesstimates, it's likely that Bey will take to the stage between 8:15 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. nightly.

Don’t cut it too close, though. MetLife is a large stadium, though, so you should be safely in your seat by about 8:10 p.m.

The show should end between 11 and 11:20 p.m.

A limited number of tickets are available directly from Ticketmaster (as of press time) for all of the shows. Here's a breakdown of what the prices start at (and how many are left).

Get our free mobile app

Parking lots open at 2:00 pm daily.

Parking is $40 for cars (and $160 for oversized vehicles).

Prepaid parking IS available online. You can click here to learn more.

Though you may want to consider taking NJ Transit from Secaucus Junction to the stadium (we have more info on that posted below). YES, It is running again after last week's strike.

NJ Transit often saves fans time from sitting in extreme traffic delays.

It's sure to be busy in the area every night. On the weekday shows, concert goers will be heading into the stadium during the evening rush hour, and for the weekend shows, it'll be a summer holiday weekend.

Unsure of where to park? All parking lots in the stadium complex are open for the show so you'll have no problem finding a spot.

Rideshare pick-up and drop-off locations are in Lot D and E at MetLife Stadium.

Surge pricing is almost always in effect after an event... and it costs a LOT.

READ MORE: NFL Players Complain About MetLife Stadium?

AND keep in mind that large crowds will likely result in extremely long wait times for a car after the concert. We've heard reports of it taking nearly 1-2 hours after a show to get a car service.

PRO-TIP: make sure your phone is charged and ready to be waiting outside of the venue. Save that cell phone battery!

YES, tailgating is allowed! Parking lots open at 2:00 p.m, officials say.

Stadium officials remind you that one car = one space (don't park like a hog, Jersey!)Be considerate of others around you. You cannot save spaces near each other.

Groups who want to tailgate together should plan in advance and arrive together.

Meaning: if you arrive separately, you will park separately.

You need to keep all tables, chairs, coolers, barbecues, etc. within the area near your vehicle and parking stall.

Oh, and don't blast your music too loud!

New Jersey state law requires that your sound system does not produce a sound in excess of 65 decibels. It must face toward your vehicle (and not in the direction of others). In fact, We've heard this has been enforced at MetLife Stadium in the past.

There are trash receptacles throughout the complex. Though, I always bring my own trash bags so it's easier to clean up.

Please bag and dispose of your trash. You can read more about their policies here.

YES, New Jersey Transit WILL be running for all five Beyoncé concerts.

They've resolved a strike earlier this month with their engineers and service has resumed fully on the rail lines.

Heading to the show on New Jersey Transit? It's a great idea!

We've got a guide to getting to MetLife Stadium on NJ Transit posted for you here.

Post-show train service (AKA: your trip home) runs until AT LEAST 1 am. We'll have more info when NJ Transit puts out the official schedule here.

A modern apartment complex in Rutherford will soon have a twin namesake one town east as The Parker East has officially started construction on a vacant lot in East Rutherford.

Vango Development recently broke ground on the project at 263 Hackensack Street. The five-story, mixed-use building will bring 86 luxury rental residences and approximately 1,100 square feet of street-level retail space to a plot of land just a quick walk from the Rutherford NJ Transit train station.

Vango is moving forward with The Parker East following the successful development and lease-up of The Parker in neighboring Rutherford. Construction of the project is being made possible by a $25 million loan provided by ConnectOne Bank, which closed in January 2025.

“The Parker East reflects our ongoing commitment to thoughtful residential development in well-connected communities,” said Van Golemis, CEO of Vango Development. “We’re excited to begin construction on this project, which continues our investment in Bergen County and builds on the strong response to The Parker mixed-use properties in neighboring Rutherford.”

Designed by MHS Architecture, the building will feature a prominent corner entrance at Hackensack Street and Winter Place that is accented by a decorative trellis structure. A dark brick base and clean contemporary lines will anchor the design, with the architectural palette carefully selected to reflect the scale and texture of neighboring town centers.

The Parker East will consist of one- and two-bedroom residences featuring high ceilings, luxury plank flooring, quartz countertops, and spa-inspired bathrooms. The homes are set to feature energy-efficient central heat and air, full-size in-home washers and dryers, and modern conveniences like Amazon Hub package lockers.

Amenities at the complex will include a state-of-the-art fitness center, a fully furnished lounge and clubroom, a dog spa, and covered garage parking. A second-floor rooftop terrace will serve as an expansive outdoor oasis with BBQ stations, dining areas, and lounges, while a landscaped courtyard at the center of the building will feature additional grills and gathering spaces.

The Taylor Lucyk Group – Christie’s International Real Estate Group NJ will oversee the leasing program for The Parker East. Coli Construction is serving as the project’s general contractor.

“We’re proud to be entrusted by Vango Development to carry out their vision for The Parker East,” said Jeff Hart, Senior Project Manager at Coli Construction. “This is a well-planned, design-forward building, and we’re focused on delivering a high-quality execution that reflects the standards and attention to detail they bring to every project.”

Construction of The Parker East complex is expected to be completed by June 2026.

Across all sports, scouts' obsession with potential and physical gifts can sometimes cloud judgment and overshadow the value of collegiate credentials during draft season. It is crucial to find that sweet spot where natural talent and experience coalesce.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen aimed to do just that in April, emphasizing upside while also bringing in rookies who have the production to back up their promise.

The results look good on paper, so good that multiple analysts believe New York's 2025 NFL Draft class could be one of the best hauls the franchise has ever assembled. But is the group too green?

Given the sense of urgency that is permeating MetLife Stadium, Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll need rookies who can contribute to winning football relatively quickly. While that is admittedly a lot to ask of young players, the organization is confident it has identified prospects who can handle it.

The Giants' 2025 class ranks in the middle of the pack in terms of experience, notes Pro Football Focus. The seven newcomers combined to log 14,492 snaps in college, ranking 16th in the NFL.

Are these incoming Giants players ready to make the jump?

Ole Miss star Jaxson Dart led the way with a 3,125 snap count, illustrating the ample opportunities he received in his three-year run at Oxford (he also started six games for USC as a freshman).

There are concerns that the 22-year-old did not spend enough time operating in a pro-style offense, a byproduct of Lane Kiffin's RPO-heavy system. However, Dart gained plenty of high-level experience.

The No. 25 overall pick competed in the extremely demanding SEC, and although his performance noticeably dipped in league play last season, he gleaned invaluable wisdom.

Dart faced more adversity than people realize. He played behind an offensive line that sometimes struggled against stronger competition and was also forced to weather the month-long absence of No. 1 wide receiver Tre Harris. Perhaps those challenges will better prepare the 6-foot-2 signal-caller for the volatility that awaits him in the NFL.

In addition to Dart, cornerback Korie Black, running back Cam Skattebo, and defensive tackle Darius Alexander all join the Giants with 2,000-plus snaps under their belt. Highly touted pass-usher Abdul Carter comes in at 1,836, but that number should carry far more weight when considering the nature of those snaps.

The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft excelled at both off-ball linebacker and along the edge during his time with Penn State. Versatility arguably takes precedence over longevity, a trait that rookie offensive lineman Marcus Mbow also embodies.

The Purdue alum played both right tackle and right guard and is willing to move all over the offensive line for New York if necessary. He brings vital depth in the short term and has the athleticism to lock down long-term starting duties.

Skattebo and Alexander not only possess ample experience, but they also bring a unique toughness to the Giants. The former flourished with Arizona State after beginning his college career at Sacramento State, and the latter established himself as one of the premier run-stoppers in the country throughout his five-year stint at Toledo.

And tight end Thomas Fidone, despite registering less than 1,000 snaps for Nebraska, possesses a profound level of life experience. He suffered two ACL tears, requiring him to use every fiber of his being to land on an NFL team. If Fidone can make the 53-man roster, Big Blue could maybe benefit from his perseverance.

When assessing what each Giants rookie has accomplished to this point and considering what they can achieve in the pros, this roster could contain a crucial balance. It is no exaggeration to say that this incoming class will be instrumental in propelling the franchise forward.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New York Giants went from running plays to squaring off, ready to rumble in the middle of the field.

Punches were thrown and helmets — and players — tossed aside.

And they haven’t even made it to minicamp yet.

“The heat got to us,” edge rusher Brian Burns said Thursday after the Giants’ sixth practice of organized team activities.

On a day when temperatures reached around 90 degrees with high humidity, tempers flared toward the end of a voluntary practice session.

First, Burns and left tackle James Hudson started pushing and shoving each other before the two took off their helmets and squared up as if they were going to fight.

“I would say it was just a conversation that we had,” Burns said with a grin. “Same old (stuff).”

Players intervened and Burns and Hudson were sent to their sidelines by coaches.

But on the next play, edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor got into it and Thibodeaux took a swing at his teammate. That led to more pushing and Hudson charged off the sideline and tackled Thibodeaux — and Burns joined in as he and a few players ended up on the ground.

“I mean, it’s just, it’s a violent sport we play,” Burns said. “You know, guys trying to get better. Tensions raised a little high. The heat is getting a little hotter, so guys get a little more agitated. But it ain’t that deep. We squashed it.”

But it also ended practice.

After the skirmishes, coach Brian Daboll huddled the team and the on-field activities were done for the day.

“I feel like it’s healthy, at times,” Burns said. “I feel like it’s healthy to a certain extent, though. You still want to get your work done at the end of the day, but that competition and that dog, that edge, that we need to have is needed. Got to keep it up.”

And it wasn’t necessarily the first time tempers have flared. Sort of.

“Yeah, this happens all the time,” Burns said, making light of the situation. “We fight over food, we fight over ping-pong, pool, whatever it is. It happens all the time. This ain’t nothing but a little brotherhood.”

Burns insisted teams need to have an edge, but it can’t get in the way of the work that has to be done.

“The only thing I’m mad about is we had to go ahead and call it up,” he said. “But, I mean, we got most of our work done today. But I just want to stay away from that and I’m going to let it be known to the team, like, that’s not what we’re doing. We’ve got to keep our minds set on the main thing, which is football. All that horseplay and all that stuff is cool or whatever, a nice edge and everything like that, but we do have to get to the details and get our work done.”

Quarterback Russell Wilson, who’s in his 14th NFL season and first with the Giants, downplayed the heated ending.

“I think we’re all competing and trying to be the best version of us and everything else,” Wilson said. “A lot of times when you have a long practice like the way we did, the way we’re working, things happen. Every great team I’ve been on, there’s been a couple of those. … Nothing to worry about.”
