Home Care In Montclair, NJ

Home Care Montclair, 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 Bond House 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 Montclair, 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. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Montclair, 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 Montclair, 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 Faubourg Restaurant and Bar or visit Montclair History Center (Montclair 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 Montclair, 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 Montclair, 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 Montclair, 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 Montclair, 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

'American Idol' hopeful Conall Gorman from Montclair, NJ auditions with two songs for the judges

NEW YORK (WABC) -- This weekend, New Jerseyans and "American Idol" fans from around the world will watch Montclair's own Conall Gorman audition for the judges.

Conall is a 19-year-old student at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. In fact, he did this interview from his dorm room!

"I was born in New York City but I grew up just outside in Montclair, New Jersey," he said. "My mom's family is from Ireland and I feel like that's had a pretty big influence on my music, growing up hearing Irish folk music in the house and things of that nature."

He says that his style of singing is mostly folk.

"I don't have a lot of classical training, but it's indie-folk," he said.

While he auditioned with one of his original songs, it didn't go as he planned and he ended up performing a second song for Lionel Ritchie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan at their request.

"I chose 'Freebird' of all songs, and I sang a folkier, more slowed down version of it, I was so incredibly nervous, I was sleep deprived, I was like shaking, I'm kind of scared to watch it if I'm being honest with you, but it was surreal for sure," Conall said.

When asked if he connected with any one of the judges more than the other, he stayed neutral.

"I'm just incredibly grateful to have performed for all three of them. They're each profusely talented in their own right, and I'm just glad to have gotten to have met them and gone through that experience," he said.

Conall said that the best part of the audition process was hearing what the judges had to say.

"Getting advice from them and getting feedback from them was the best part of the audition for me," he said.

In the end, he just hopes to make a difference. "I hope that my song can resonate with people in the same way that my heroes' songs have resonated with me."

To find out if Conall advances to the next round, watch "American Idol" this Sunday, March 17 starting at 8 p.m. on ABC and the following day on Hulu.

MONTCLAIR, NJ — For nearly three years, a “little slice of Italy” has thrived in Montclair. But for now, the crew at Palato Caffe & Cucina at 377 Bloomfield Avenue will be taking a hiatus – and preparing for their final week in business.

Since 2021, co-owners Massimo Apicella Owner (originally from Puglia, now Bloomfield) and Stefano Bosetti Chef (from Trento, now Montclair) combined northern and southern Italian cuisines in a “simple, authentic and highly delicious way” at their eatery on Bloomfield Avenue.

On Sunday, the restaurant announced that it will be celebrating its culinary journey in Montclair one last time this week.

Here’s the social media post from Palato Caffe & Cucina that was shared along with the message, Grazie Mille (“a thousand thanks”):

“For nearly three years. our little slice of Italy has thrived thanks to the warmth and loyalty of our Montclair community. We've cherished the laughter filling our cozy space, the familiar faces. and the countless conversations shared over steaming plates of pasta. However, it’s time for us to take a pause and re-evaluate our future. With dreams of maybe one day opening a larger space to better serve you, we've decided to close our doors for the time being. This coming week, from March 13th to March 17th, will be our last week. We invite you to join us for one last celebration as we close this chapter. Come raise a glass and enjoy your favorite dishes! This is also the perfect time to use any remaining gift certificates you might have. From the depths of our hearts. we express our immense gratitude for your unwavering support, Montclair. You've made our journey incredibly special. We look forward to celebrating with you all one last time this week. Thank you again for your friendship and loyalty. With heartfelt appreciation, Massimo & Stefano and The Team at Palato Caffe & Cucina.”

Montclair President joins leadership of New Jersey higher education nonprofit

Posted in: President, Press Releases

Montclair State University President Jonathan Koppell has been named to the Board of Directors of Engage NJ, a nonprofit higher education presidents’ coalition focused on civic engagement in New Jersey.

Established in 2011 and based on the Montclair campus, Engage NJ represents all sectors of New Jersey higher education. It operates as a collaborative force in empowering campuses to foster competencies that advance democracy and enable students to thrive in 21st-century life and work.

Koppell will serve a three-year term as a member of the board, joining presidents from both two-year and four-year public institutions.

“The missions of Montclair State University and Engage NJ are closely aligned,” says Koppell. “To ensure a sustainable, vibrant New Jersey that will thrive for generations to come, we must cultivate an ethic of public service while preparing students with hands-on learning experiences so that they have the skills to solve the state’s current and future challenges. I am pleased to join the Board of Directors of Engage NJ, and serve alongside leaders who share this important commitment.”

Engage NJ holds true that when higher education is both an ecosystem for equality and an engine of economic opportunity for each and every student, they will persist and graduate with the competencies and commitments to contribute positively to a resilient democracy and to lead fulfilling lives.

As part of its latest Strategic Plan, Engage NJ will work toward the goal of a minimum of 5,000 students per year completing an educational and experiential pathway that enables them to advance democracy and develop transferable competencies for life and work. The coalition will strive to equip each public and private higher education institution with comprehensive resources and tools that collectively and over time will show a measurable spread of a culture of engagement throughout New Jersey higher education.

“This is such a pivotal moment for higher education in New Jersey – in the coming decade we must ensure all students see an engaged and meaningful role for themselves in society as well as in their careers,” says Engage NJ Executive Director Saul Peterson. “Dr. Koppell’s leadership on the board will ensure that Engage NJ operates as the public service backbone for all of higher education and its students in New Jersey.”
