It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
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 Revolutionary War Historic Marker 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 Montville, NJ is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

I recommend them to everybody.”
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.
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 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.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Montville Parks & Recreation with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
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 Locanda Vecchia or visit Morris Canal Historic Marker, 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.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

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.
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 Montville, 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.
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:
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 Montville, 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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care 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:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
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.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Montville, NJ 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

It’s always a shame when we see a beloved local business have to close its doors, and sadly, we see it pretty often in the Garden State.
A few months ago, we learned that Smokies Craft BBQ closed both its Bayville and downtown Toms River locations.
More on that here.
TGI Fridays in Toms River has also closed its doors. Although it’s not a local business, it was a popular chain right off Hooper Avenue.
Although rumor has it that old TGI Fridays is going to reopen as a Tommy’s Tavern, more on that here.
Even beloved family businesses like Barlows Nursery in Sea Girt have had to close their doors in recent months, a devastating loss to the community.
It now appears as though another local nursery is getting ready to close its doors, after nearly 100 years of serving the local community.
There’s nothing better, by the way, than stopping by a local nursery to pick up fresh flowers, produce, or some fun yard decorations.
According to NJ.com, it looks like Condursos Garden Center in Montville is getting ready to close its doors after nearly 100 years in business.
Condursos started back in the late 1920s and has been a staple in Montville ever since, becoming a one-stop shop for all things gardening and outdoors.
Condursos’ last day in business will be October 31st, and as of now, everything appears to be 50 percent off as part of a going-out-of-business sale.
With so many trends of the 1990's back in style, it's a great time to look back at a strong foundation of 80's and 90's culture — New Jersey mall shopping. Some stores were a highlight, every trip. Gallery Credit: Erin Vogt
Of course, Disney as a company is alive and well — but this is that old-school Disney store experience. A mound of plush dolls under a video screen, where Disney movies ran on repeat. In 2021, Disney closed nearly all its non-theme park retail stores, after a pandemic-prompted shift in fiscal priorities.
Around the same time that the Disney store offered its own movie screen and mound of plush characters — shoppers could also browse Warner Brothers superhero and Looney Tunes merchandise, with Marvin the Martian and Taz as statues in-store. In 2001, AOL Time Warner Inc. announced it would close its U.S.-based Warner Bros. Studio Stores.
There was actually still a Suncoast video store open in 2021 in Monmouth County, as seen on video shared to Youtube. It has since closed down.The chain was founded in 1986 — by the early 2000's there were roughly 170 stores nationwide.
Years before the demise of NJ-based Bed, Bath and Beyond — another NJ-based home retailer also saw its long-time popularity fade. The company was founded in 1975 and headquartered in Clifton. It closed its remaining physical stores in 2008, though it did launch as an online brand the following year.
In 2020, Lord & Taylor announced all of its 38 remaining stores would close - including the final 9 in NJ (Livingston, Rockaway, Wayne, Bridgewater, Freehold Township, Lawrenceville, Westfield and two in Paramus).
Music fans used to flock to Sam Goody for the newest albums or cassingles, in the 90's. The chain was bought by the same company that purchase Suncoast Motion Picture Company — Musicland Holding Corp.Most of the company's stores at NJ malls were closed in 2006, as part of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
In 2009, Fortunoff filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, for a second time in two years. The home furnishings and jewelry retailer cited debt exceeding $100 million.
The company closed all its physical stores in 2008 — forcing mall goers to have to eventually pay to use massage chairs, once those were a thing. The brand has lived on its its gadgets, still offered online and in a brief, pop-up store experience in 2017.
Much like Sam Goody, The Wall was another music lover's paradise — with a "lifetime guarantee" on purchases, as advertised with a trademark blue, square sticker. Some of those stores eventually were rebranded as FYE, which still exists at NJ malls, today.
The department store with New York roots had locations in Paramus, Wayne, and Woodbridge, opened from 1957 to 1971. Stern’s also moved its corporate headquarters to Paramus after closing their New York flagship store in 1969.After several years of consolidations and buyouts — Federated Department Stores closed down the Stern’s line in 2001.
Another case of a brand outlasting most of its retail stores. Brookstone did opt to keep its airport locations open, when it announced most stores would be shuttered in 2018 (amid a second bankruptcy filing).
The department store, formerly Strawbridge & Clothier, was a favorite in parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.In the mid-90's, the chain's remaining locations were sold to Macy's.By 2006, remaining stores were then closed, some of them rebranded.
Following the trends of rock and pop stars paid off for this national clothing retail chain, which rose in popularity from the 1970s through most of the 80's. It fell into bankruptcy by 1994 and its stores were closed soon after.
There was a good stretch when Radio Shack was the place to go for the latest electronics, and even batteries. But as online shopping increased in popularity, sales faltered. In 2015, amid a filing for bankruptcy protection, many stores quickly closed. This year there's been buzz, according to Retail Insight Network, that the brand could stage a comeback of sorts.

Condursos Garden Center, a family business with deep roots in Morris County, is headed for the auction block.
The 28-acre farm in Montville has been producing flowers, plants, trees, shrubs and vegetables since 1929. But the family farm plunged into bankruptcy and the property is scheduled to be sold at auction on Sept. 17.
Through their staff, the owners of Condursos Garden Center declined comment on Thursday. But many of the customers who came by had heard the news.
“I read it on my news feed and stopped by to verify it,” said Bonnie Cintron, a Mountain Lakes resident who said she’s been coming to Condursos for 40 years. After speaking to staff, “They said it’s true,” she said.
Cintron, a member of the Mountain Lakes Garden Club, said Condurso’s offered high quality, a large selection, and a knowledgeable staff. She doesn’t want to see it close down.
“A lot of our members purchased things here,” she said. “I would bring my friends, and we would load up on flats and ground covers. So it’s the passing of an era.”
That era lasted nearly 100 years. Bartholomew and Rose Condurso came over from Avellino, Italy, and bought the farm in 1929, according to the company website.
They initially raised vegetables, but as suburbia grew up around them, the Condursos grew with it. The garden center became a one-stop shop for flowers, plants, shrubs and decorations.
Condursos became one of the biggest area suppliers of chrysanthemums, the late-blooming autumn flower. But it appears this fall season will be its last.
A banner hung over the sign at main entrance offers “50 Percent Off Everything” and the smaller print below says “Thru October 31.”
Next to that, a smaller sign planted in the grass advertises the auction to be conducted onsite by Tranzon Auction Properties.
The property consists of two lots totaling 28.79 acres, and contains a single-family home, greenhouses, storage sheds, barns, and garages, according to a post on the Tranzon website.
Condursos Garden Center is in a commercial zone known as a B-5, which prohibits construction of residential structures. Among the permitted uses in the B-5 zone are farms, greenhouses, public parks, municipal buildings, and self-storage facilities, according to Montville’s land use code.
Montville Mayor Matthew Kayne did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. But in a statement to the Daily Record, which first reported the auction, the mayor sought to allay fears that the farm would one day be housing.
“The Condurso property is not included in the township affordable housing plan and the property is not zoned for residential development,” the statement said. “The township and the administration will be monitoring the outcome of the potential auction later this month.”

MONTVILLE − Montville knows how important it is to start a season off on the right foot.
Since 2021, the Mustangs have secured wins in their opening games. They've made deep playoff runs each of the last two years..
Montville kept its streak alive and picked up where it left off a year ago with a convincing 38-22 win over Sparta on Aug. 28 at Montville High School.
Clement Hofbauer scored three touchdowns − two rushing and one receiving − and the Mustangs defense stepped up and did the rest as the Mustangs notched their third straight win over the Spartans dating back to last season.
“Right away coming at Sparta you know it’s going to be a burner. In terms of down the line and the playoffs, you know Sparta is a good team and they’re going to win football games,” Montville coach Rick DeBonta said. “So that opening win is a huge start and a huge way to get yourself going in the right direction.”
Play the USA TODAY Quick Cross now.Sparta scored on the opening drive of the game when Brady Shagawat raced 14 yards to cap a six-play, 72-yard drive less than two minutes in. Quarterback Shane Hoover got the Spartans in a groove when he connected on five straight passes before handing it off to Shagawat.
Montville countered on the ensuing drive off a broken field-goal attempt. Backup quarterback and placeholder Ricky Beyer handled a bad snap, ran to his right, looked to his left, and saw Hofbauer all alone in the end zone.
“We practice the fire drill and Ricky [Beyer] executed it well. He’s our backup and has been a quarterback most of his life,” DeBonta said. “He saw the field and saw Clement on the outside. It was a nice play. It was huge.”
The Mustangs scored on their next possession and took their first lead when quarterback Jackson Gering connected with receiver Brett Kunkel from 30 yards with 4:44 left in the opening quarter.
Sparta tied the game at 14-14 early in the second quarter when Shagawat ran in from seven yards.
Montville’s defense was stellar and did an outstanding job limiting Sparta’s offense and containing standout quarterback Shane Hoover. Though Hoover managed to throw for a game-high 275 yards, the Mustangs were able to prevent the big plays.
“We’ve bonded together as a family over the years. No one was selfish. We did our jobs and we know what’s at stake,” Montville defensive end Dante Palladino said. “When you start a season hot and keep rolling, you build confidence.”
Montville retook the lead midway through the first half when kicker Dominick Grunke nailed a 43-yard field goal with 7:23 left. The Mustangs extended their lead when Hofbauer barreled in from the four-yard line to give the home team a 24-14 lead with 2:14 left in the second quarter.
Montville has won five straight season opening games.
In last year’s opener, the Mustangs stunned Sparta, 33-9 in Sussex County. Eight weeks later they handled the Spartans a 20-6 setback at home in the opening round of the playoffs.
? Gering was 14-for-24 for 196 yards and one touchdown.
? Hofbauer ran for 111 yards on 18 carries.
? Montville back Tyler Goldman picked up 93 yards on eight carries and one touchdown.
? Montville receiver Brett Kunkel caught six balls for 86 yards and a touchdown.
? Hoover threw for 275 yards on 30-of-40 passing and two touchdowns and two interceptions.
“The offensive line made big holes. We’ve put in a lot of work over the summer. It was important that we got off to a fast start. Sparta’s a good team and this is a big win for us.” – Hofbauer.
“Hoover does a great job moving. We knew that coming in. Our two edge rushers, Zion [Cyler] and Dante [Palladino] are tough kids. Dante has been playing for me the last three years. Zion had two big sacks. It’s his first time playing varsity football. We talked about caging them in and keeping them in the box and we did a nice job.” – DeBonta.
? Montville (1-0) travels to Warren Hills on September 5.
? Sparta (0-1) hosts Lakeland on September 5.
