Home Care In Long Valley, NJ

Home Care Long Valley, 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 Old Stone Union Church 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 Long Valley, 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 Long Valley, 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 Long Valley, 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 Chesapeake Tavern or visit Washington Township 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 Long Valley, 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 Long Valley, 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 Long Valley, 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 Long Valley, 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 Long Valley, 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:

  • Washington Senior Citizen Center
  • Heath Village Retirement Community
  • LINS Group LLC
  • Riverwalk Village at The House of The Good Shepherd
  • Rem New Jersey Inc
  • Colonial Manor At Panther Valley
Home Care Long Valley, 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.

LONG VALLEY, NJ — The Morris County Board of County Commissioners recently unveiled a comprehensive capital spending plan for Morris County, which includes funding for multiple projects in Long Valley.

The Capital Budget Committee of the board, comprised of Commissioners Tayfun Selen, Stephen H. Shaw and Deborah Smith, outlined the plan during a public meeting last month in Morristown.

The 2024 Capital Spending Plan, minus state grants and ongoing legacy commitments, invests nearly $35 million into educational facilities, human services support, public safety, health, county parks and upgrades to roads, intersections and bridges.

“The capital budget process began several months ago with the administration getting requests and back-up from the various county departments. We like to get our capital plan completed early so we can be among the first public entities to send projects out to bid,” said Shaw, chairman of the county budget committee.

In addition to education, the plan prioritizes public safety, health, "and the needs of our veterans and vulnerable residents," according to the commissioner's spending plan statement.

The county government is in charge of funding the county courts, sheriff's office, penitentiary facility, public safety training academy, and mosquito control. It also supervises the largest county park system in the state.

The spending plan continues the county's policy of using federal COVID-19 relief money from the American Rescue Plan Act to offset future capital project borrowing needs, according to the commissioners.

Allocations from those funds to meet capital expenses will continue until 2025.

In Long Valley, the spending plan includes $300,000 in funds for construction work on the Columbia Trail Crossings, specifically to add in rapid flashing beacons.

The county will also be separating a portion of $16.5 million to fund 1.6 miles of road resurfacing on Schooley’s Mountain Road, specifically from Mill Road to Springtown Road.

“We will continue to lead the state in bridge upgrades with the addition of $5.4 million to our 2024 Capital Plan. By the end of next year, we will have replaced 43 bridges and rehabilitated six others over the past eight years,” Selen said.

Last year, Morris County provided funding for construction on the 150-year-old Schooley's Mountain Road bridge.

The county funded the million-dollar project, which included rebuilding the downstream wall and removing all material above the stone arches.

The plans also included the installation of lightweight concrete and a new waterproof membrane on top of the arches, which has extended the bridge's life by 30 to 40 years, according to county engineers.

"When you have historic structures, like we have, especially ones that everybody drives over 12 times a day, eventually it has to be replaced. It's better to do it proactively than to have it fall down," Washington Township Mayor Matt Murello said.

Blood Donations Fall To Emergency Levels: Donate In Long Valley

LONG VALLEY, NJ — American Red Cross officials are asking Long Valley residents to roll up their sleeves and give blood or platelets to address a nationwide blood shortage exacerbated by severe winter weather that forced hundreds of blood drive cancellations across the country.

Since early January, about 265 blood drives across 27 states were canceled due to weather, leaving more than 8,000 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected and potentially leaving hospitals in short supply of blood, the Red Cross said in an emergency appeal this week.

Blood was already in short supply before millions of people from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast and the Deep South were placed under some kind of weather alert, including those for blizzards and life-threatening cold air. More bad weather predicted this week could cause even more cancellations.

Donations from 16- to 18-year-olds dropped by 60 percent from 2019 to 2021, and donations from 19- to 24-year-olds went down by almost a third, according to that report.

Experts said the decline is partly, but not entirely, due to the pandemic. Turning that around is paramount to ensuring the nation has a reliable blood supply.

“If that trend continues, we’re going to be in a very difficult situation,” said Dr. Claudia Cohn, chief medical officer for the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies, told NBC News. “Blood centers often depend upon high schools for their blood drives.”

Cohn said Baby Boomers are the most reliable blood donors and, “unfortunately, younger people are not getting out and replacing those numbers as we need them.”

Washington Township voters weighed in on a public question centered on combining the local Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment.

LONG VALLEY, NJ — The 2023 unofficial general election votes show that Washington Township's referendum, looking to combine the local planning board and zoning board of adjustment, is likely to pass, according to unofficial results.

Washington Township voters were asked to decide on the creation of a Joint Land Use Board, which would act as a combination of the current Zoning and Planning Boards.

The results of the election do not become official until they are certified by the Morris County Clerk's office no later than Nov. 22.

Here are the unofficial tallies, according to the Morris County Clerk:

The idea was first raised to the public at the Township Committee work session meeting on April 12 and has since been discussed at subsequent meetings.

"The township committee is always looking for ways to make our local government more efficient. Each of these two boards has different responsibilities, but both have a mission to approve the development and redevelopment in the town. The idea to consolidate the Planning and Zoning Boards was discussed before the COVID lockdowns but never got past discussions," Mayor Matt Murello said.

The referendum question asked voters whether the Township of Washington should amend the code to allow the planning board to exercise all of the powers and duties of a board of adjustment, in addition to the planning board's duties.

The Joint Land Use Board would be in charge of creating and amending the township's master plan, as well as approving conditional use petitions as needed. The board would include nine sitting members and four alternates, according to the proposed ordinance modification.

Long Valley, according to officials, does not have many sites that can be developed in accordance with the Township's master plan. This has lessened the need for the Planning Board, causing them to consider applications at less than half of their scheduled meetings during the last few years, whereas the Zoning Board has convened on a regular basis.

"This will reduce the number of boards and the paid professionals in town and streamline the process for residents and businesses. Appointments will be made by the Township Committee, the same way that they are done now for all boards. The Committee is asking the public only to help reduce the size, and increase the efficiency, of our local government’s land use process," Murello said.

LONG VALLEY, NJ — Sharpen your skates and grab your coats; Palmer Park's outdoor ice skating rink is getting ready to open.

New Jersey got a small taste of winter weather last week after a storm swept over the region. While the majority of the state received a few inches of rain, a surge of cold air arrived at the tail end of the storm, changing the rain into snowfall in northwest New Jersey.

However, the temperatures have not yet been cold enough to permanently freeze the skating area. Last year, warmer temperatures accounted for most of the winter months, meaning that the rink was only able to be used a handful of times, according to township officials.

When the ice is fully frozen, the municipality will put the "Skating Rink Closed/Open Sign" in Palmer's driveway, indicating that the rink is open to the public.

Palmer Park, which is located on Bartley Road and Palmer Place in Long Valley, is currently home to three softball fields, one Babe Ruth field, four little league fields, and three all-purpose fields, along with a walking trail and a community garden.

The new rink has been installed on the infield of one of Palmer Park's baseball fields.

Last year, township officials clarified that no fields were dug up or damaged in any way to create the rink, which was a source of concern for some residents, and the township intends to keep it that way.

Once the ice is completely frozen, the rink will be open from dawn to dusk for everyone to enjoy.

The rink will only be open for general ice skating, with no hockey allowed, officials said.

Residents are also asked to park only in the lower lot and access the rink via the dugout and fencing.

"Let's all take care of the area, have fun, skate safely and maybe we can get more than a handful of skating days in this year," Washington Township Mayor Matt Murello said on Facebook.

Here is the upcoming forecast for Long Valley:
