How does In-home Senior Care in Florham Park, NJ work?

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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 ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

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.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, 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:

Comfort
Comfort

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, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old. With the help of elderly care in Florham Park, 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.

Healthy Living
Healthy Living

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.

Independence
Independence

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 an assisted living community. 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.

Cost and Convenience
Cost and Convenience

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 to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, can be 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 in Florham Park, NJ 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.

Empowers Seniors

Affordable Care Plans

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:

Veteran's Benefits
Veteran's Benefits

Aid and Attendance benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance

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.

Private Insurance
Private Insurance

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.

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

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.


Respite Care Florham Park, NJ

During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.

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 Florham Park,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.

 Caregivers Florham Park, NJ

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced 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:

An assessment of your senior loved one

01

An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one to remain in their own home

02

Reviewing a detailed Care Plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs

03

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.

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.

Recently signed Dalvin Cook practices for the first time with the Jets

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Dalvin Cook stepped into the practice huddle for the New York Jets for the first time and finally settled into his new backfield.

“Now I feel like I’m part of the Jets,” a smiling Cook said Tuesday. “Now I feel like I’m part of the team.”

It has been a whirlwind past several months for the star running back, who had offseason shoulder surgery, was released by Minnesota for salary cap reasons, visited the Jets during training camp, considered his options before signing with New York and then recently witnessed the birth of his first child.

“It was just a lot going on,” Cook said. “Now I get to dig deep into the playbook, get familiar with the guys in the huddle and just have fun with this, with the guys I’ve got in the locker room. I’m ready to go. It’s a lot of fun.”

Other news

The 28-year-old running back signed a one-year deal with the Jets two weeks ago, a contract that could be worth up to $8.6 million including incentives. Cook is expected to complement Breece Hall, who was a frontrunner for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year honors until he tore a knee ligament in Week 7 last season.

Cook is healthy, but will be limited at first — he said he did every drill Tuesday — and so will Hall, who was recently activated from the physically unable to perform list.

“We feel really confident about him and his ability to just hit the ground running,” coach Robert Saleh said of Cook. “It’s just a matter of getting his legs underneath him. But at the same time, he hasn’t had a camp, hasn’t had OTAs, he’s been working, he’s been traveling a lot with the baby, so we just have to be smart with him.”

But having Cook and Hall in the backfield could mean double trouble for defenses, and that doesn’t even count the versatile and shifty Michael Carter mixing in, too.

“A lot of people are going to put us at the top, but we’ve just got to go put the work in,” Cook said. “We’ve got to go put it on the grass. ... The talent that Breece has, the young talent he has, I think we’re going to be something special together. We’ve just got to go do it.”

Cook is used to being a No. 1 running back, having rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of the past four seasons and being selected for the past four Pro Bowl teams. He said he has no problem sharing the carries with the Jets in whatever role coordinator Nathaniel Hackett devises for him in his offense.

“I’m kind of excited to see,” Cook said. “I’ve got a great skill set and I come with a unique skill set, which I can catch the ball out of the backfield. I could be explosive from any position around the offense, so I’m just looking forward to how they use me. I’m available, man, for anything.”

The opportunity to join quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a big factor in making the Jets an attractive option for Cook, who wanted to be with a team that had its sights set on making a deep playoff run.

And Cook can call Rodgers a teammate now after six years of seeing him twice a season in the NFC North as an opponent.

“Just being in the huddle with him, it’s like, ‘All right, I’m in the huddle with A-Rod,’” Cook said with a big grin. “I’m on the other side. It’s cool, man, just being around a legend, just soaking up the game and seeing his point of view. You know, when you’re in the backfield with a great quarterback, I think communication is key. And I think he’s the best communicator to have been in the huddle from Day One.”

NOTES: DE Carl Lawson (back) returned to practice after missing a few weeks. Saleh is optimistic Lawson will be ready for the opener. ... P Thomas Morstead was among the Jets’ final cuts, but it’s likely just a procedural move and he’ll be brought back after the team places other players on IR. As a vested veteran, Morstead isn’t subject to waivers. Same for FB Nick Bawden. ... RB Zonovan “Bam” Knight was waived after being the odd man out in a crowded backfield. ... “Hard Knocks” star WR Jerome Kapp, whose performance of Eminem’s freestyle in “8 Mile” went viral, was also among the Jets’ players waived.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers has been the primary attraction at New York Jets camp this summer.

Fans and media — and the “Hard Knocks” film crew — have flocked to the team’s facility during the past month to watch the four-time NFL MVP work with his new wide receivers, tight ends and running backs. And things have gone rather smoothly.

Except for the big boys up front.

The Jets’ offensive line has struggled with consistency and injuries during camp, to the point it’s still mostly uncertain who’ll be blocking in front of Rodgers when the regular season kicks off against Buffalo on Sept. 11 in front of a national audience.

“It’s a work in progress,” Rodgers said this week.

That’s putting it lightly.

Heading into the Jets’ third preseason game Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are question marks at almost every spot on the offensive line.

“It’s just becoming a unit,” coach Robert Saleh said. “I don’t think anyone in here is panicked.”

But Saleh was shown on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” after the team’s joint practice with the Carolina Panthers last week expressing frustration with the up-and-mostly down play of the unit that also struggled mightily last season.

“We’re going to continue to work to find our best five,” Saleh said. “It would have been great to have it done by the end of last week, but it’s not the case and we’re just going to keep working until we find the best five.”

During the team’s joint practice Wednesday with the Buccaneers, Rodgers would have been sacked at least six times and faced constant pressure. Still, he insisted his concern about the offensive line is “pretty low.”

He pointed out it’s still only mid-August. So there’s time — but not a lot.

“I was thinking maybe we’d start to figure some stuff out,” Rodgers said. “Obviously, it hasn’t happened yet. There are jobs up for grabs, so that’s the beauty of camp, but also the struggle. In talking with a couple of guys, we just need some continuity, I think at some point, so guys can feel comfortable playing together.

“Maybe that’s the end of next week, maybe it’s the week that we have in between the season and the last preseason game, but jobs are up for grabs.”

Laken Tomlinson would appear to have the gig at left guard for the second straight year, but he has missed a few days with a leg ailment.

Connor McGovern seems to have a slight edge over rookie Joe Tippmann and vet Wes Schweitzer at center — but that’s still a competition.

Alijah Vera-Tucker is slated in at right guard, but he’s dealing with an ankle injury that has sidelined him a few practices. There has also been talk he could slide over to one of the tackle spots if needed because of his versatility.

Duane Brown is expected to be the left tackle, but the 37-year-old O-lineman remains on the physically unable to perform list while continuing to recover from offseason shoulder surgery.

“He’s getting a lot closer,” Saleh said.

Then, there’s right tackle, where Max Mitchell, Billy Turner and others have worked this summer. Even Mekhi Becton, who has been mostly a left tackle but missed most of the last two seasons with knee injuries, has started to see some snaps there. And Becton, who’s still building confidence in his surgically repaired right knee, could ultimately be the answer there.

“We’re not necessarily telling him the job’s his,” offensive line coach Keith Carter said, “but we are definitely encouraging him like, ‘Hey, man, let’s go. When you’re ready to put the pedal to the metal, man, go compete.’”

Again, no panic yet. But Rodgers and the Jets want to know as soon as possible who the starters will be.

While New York has become a fashionable Super Bowl pick for some, the Jets’ offensive line will play a big factor in whether that even comes close to being a possibility.

“I don’t get concerned heavily about things that I don’t have a huge role in yet,” Rodgers said. “Now that might change at some point. I might say, ‘Hey, I need the five who are going to be in there, to be in there with me for a solid week.’

“But I don’t think we’re at that point yet because I don’t think there’s five guys that have earned those spots.”
