Home Care In Parsippany, NJ

Home Care Parsippany, 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 Parsippany Rock 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 Parsippany, 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 Parsippany, 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.

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 The Capital Grille or visit Parsippany Historical and Preservation 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 Parsippany, 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 Parsippany, 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.
 Senior Care Parsippany, NJ

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 Parsippany, 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 Parsippany, 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

Sinkhole closes two lanes on I-287 in Parsippany-Troy Hills

There is yet another sinkhole on a Morris County interstate.

A sinkhole has developed on Interstate 287 north in Parsippany-Troy Hills on Friday afternoon, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation's 511nj.org site.

As of 4:15 p.m., the NJDOT said that two left northbound lanes are closed north of Exit 41.

"The two left lanes on I-287 northbound are closed after Exit 41B in Parsippany-Troy Hills due to a sinkhole in the shoulder. NJDOT is investigating the situation," said an NJDOT spokesperson in an email.

The sinkhole appears be located in the left shoulder of northbound lanes of I-287 just before Route 46 and north of Interstate 80, according to the NJDOT 511nj.org map and photo of the scene.

“Located near a drain, hole full of water so that’s why initially it is thought to be a water pipe issue, not related to the Route 80 problems. I will feel comfortable when the DOT confirms," State Senator Joseph Pennacchio told NorthJersey.com

The NJDOT is already dealing with a two active sinkholes on Interstate 80 in Wharton - another sinkhole was repaired back in December.

"This is getting ridiculous and it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or dies as a result of one of these sink holes," state Assemblyman Brian Bergen told NorthJersey.com. "We need swift action by the DOT to fix these issues. Going forward, NJ should spend less money on wackadoodle liberal initiatives and more money on shoring up our vital infrastructure"

The latest sinkhole on a Morris County interstate, based on preliminary inspections, looks to be caused by an abandoned pipe ? and is not connected to the mine collapses that have crippled Route 80 for the better part of the last month.

The sinkhole developed during rush hour on Route 287 north in Parsippany-Troy Hills on March 21, forcing the closure of the middle and left northbound lanes just past Exit 41B.

The sinkhole is located in the left shoulder of northbound lanes of I-287 between routes 46 and 80, according to a map on the state Transportation Department's 511nj.org and photo of the scene.

"The two left lanes on I-287 northbound are closed after Exit 41B in Parsippany-Troy Hills due to a sinkhole in the shoulder. NJDOT is investigating the situation," said a spokesperson for the state Transportation Department in an email shortly after the void was discovered.

Plans in the area showed an abandoned pipe in front of the inlet, state Senator Joseph Pennacchio said.

Gov. Phil Murphy said it was a water pipe that collapsed and he expected the road to be repaired by Monday, March 24.

A video found a long section of collapsed pipe, about 80-feet long and 15-feet deep. Workers must dig a trench to remove the pipe and repair the roadway. Crews will also be checking a nearby box culvert for any damage.

The job is estimated to take three days, Pennacchio said.

That's a blink of the eye compared to how long repairs are expected to take on Route 80 in Wharton, where crews are already dealing with fixing two active sinkholes ? and that follows the repair of another sinkhole in December 2024 in the same location.

The Route 80 sinkholes are located on both the westbound and eastbound sides of the highway were created by abandoned mines ? many of which dot the landscape in Wharton, Dover and the aptly-named Mine Hill.

As sinkholes continue to open up Route 80 and now Route 287, getting around North Jersey, and in particular Morris County, is becoming more challenging each day.

On Route 80, the voids on both the westbound and eastbound sides of the highway were created by abandoned mines ? many of which dot the landscape in Wharton, Dover and the aptly-named Mine Hill.

On 287, where a sinkhole opened on March 21, the cause has yet to be determined.

What's for sure is the problems are likely to continue for weeks, if not months, as engineers and construction crews work around the clock to fill the voids and repair the roads.

"This is getting ridiculous and it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or dies as a result of one of these sink holes," state Assemblyman Brian Bergen told NorthJersey.com. "We need swift action by the DOT to fix these issues. Going forward, NJ should spend less money on wackadoodle liberal initiatives and more money on shoring up our vital infrastructure."

Here's a look at what we know and how we got here:

Detours and road closures

The location of the sinkholes could not be much worse.

The voids on Route 80 are located near the junction of Route 15 (there is also a massive bridge repair on Route 15 south underway in Jefferson). The one on Route 287 sits between Routes 80 and 46, just south of the Boonton Reservoir. The two sinkhole sites are less than 20 miles from one another by vehicle, less as the crow flies.

All the roads are heavily trafficked, used by commuters, truckers, buses and residents just moving around North Jersey.

Now, all that traffic is being funneled through the downtowns and side streets of Boonton, Denville, Wharton, Dover, Randolph, Parsippany and other highway towns. Already, local business owners are taking a hit as the traffic-clogged main streets choke out shoppers. And residents in normally quiet neighborhoods are being subjected to the rumble and stumble of vehicles navigating detours 24 hours a day.

Mines, voids and sinkholes

NJDOT is aware the sinkholes are likely caused by a failing network of mineral mines that once fueled the economy of the region, but were mostly closed and abandoned long before highway construction began in the 1960s.

The underbelly of Morris County and its roads are filled with more than 100 abandoned underground mines, most located in the northwestern half of the county, according to a 2020 geographical report of Morris County.

Sinkhole ‘Whack-a-Mole?’

The latest sinkhole to shut down all eastbound lanes of Route 80 in Morris County apparently has plenty of company.

As repairs continue at the site, testing conducted by the New Jersey Department of Transportation has "identified 90 locations to be assessed and mitigate potential instability or possible voids."

"Our investigation identified additional subsurface movement, leading to proactive drilling and grouting operations to stabilize the roadway," NJDOT spokesperson Steve Schapiro said.

What causes sinkholes?

Timothy Bechtel, the director of science outreach and a senior professor of geosciences at Franklin & Marshall College, said sinkholes like the gaping cavity that opened this week in an Interstate 80 work zone are “usually related” to precipitation or in more developed areas, leaking underground pipes.

Every sinkhole starts, Bechtel said, with a manmade void or a natural cave. In this case, the state Department of Transportation has already identified 90 locations along the interstate that need to be assessed due to potential instability and the presence of abandoned mine shafts.

How did we get here? A timeline

Contrary to what it may feel like to North Jersey commuters, the most recent sinkhole issues impacting a stretch of Route 80 in Morris County has only been going on for just over a month.

But the problems in the area, which include another hole in the roadway spotted in late December, can be traced back to mining activity more than two centuries ago.

Only in Jersey: Sinkhole ice cream

While many are frustrated with detours and traffic caused by the sinkhole on Route 80 in Wharton, one local ice cream shop found a way to sweeten the situation.

Parsippany, NJ (March 21, 2025) – A crash involving injuries caused significant disruptions late Friday night on I-80 eastbound local lanes near Exit 43 for I-287 in Parsippany. The incident was reported at approximately 11:27 p.m. and resulted in blocked lanes and extensive traffic congestion stretching back to Exit 42 at US-202.

Emergency medical services and local responders arrived on the scene to assist the injured. At least one person sustained injuries in the collision, though the extent of those injuries has not yet been confirmed. Authorities worked to provide immediate aid, secure the area, and manage traffic flow during the peak of the response.

Traffic conditions remained stop-and-go for an extended period as lane closures persisted, creating substantial delays for late-night drivers. The crash remains under investigation, with officials working to determine what caused the incident and whether speed, driver distraction, or another factor played a role.

We extend our best wishes to those injured and hope for a full and swift recovery.

Interstate Accidents in New Jersey

Late-night crashes like the one on I-80 East near Exit 43 are not uncommon along New Jersey’s major highway corridors, where speed, fatigue, and merging traffic can increase the likelihood of collisions. The local lanes of I-80 near the I-287 interchange are known for complex navigation and congestion, especially near major exits that see both local and long-distance traffic.

In this incident, lane closures and injuries created delays and hazards for other drivers, underscoring the importance of caution and preparedness—even during non-peak hours. Similar collisions in the area often stem from lane changes, tailgating, or reduced visibility during nighttime driving. When crashes occur on multi-lane interstates, the impact can be widespread, affecting both emergency response and commuter safety.

For the injured, recovery typically involves not only medical care but also coordination with insurance providers, time away from work, and sometimes legal guidance. Accessing trusted resources quickly can help victims take control of the situation and focus on healing.

Transportation officials continue to monitor stretches like I-80 through Morris County for safety improvements, including updated signage, road surface enhancements, and increased enforcement near high-risk zones. Still, driver attentiveness remains one of the most critical factors in preventing highway accidents.

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education approved a tentative budget proposing 14 cuts to staff positions for the 2025-2026 school year on Thursday.

Board members and attendees discussed the impact of staffing decisions and budget constraints on educational programming and staff positions, including concerns about rising costs.

In particular, a 21 percent increase is attributed to charter schools, which are not bound by the same funding caps as traditional schools.

"We've heard from the township during all these PILOT agreements [that] the school district gets every penny that we ask for," a board member said in the meeting, "which I agree with, however, we are obviously very limited in the dollars we can ask for, and those dollars do not cover - they cover just barely the health increase, let alone the increase in everything else."

"Nobody wants increased taxes," the board member added, "that's never an easy decision either."

The administration proposed using the below sources of revenue to help balance the budget:

The budget includes an anticipated revenue for the upcoming school year of $25,644,350, which will come from state aid and local revenues. The amount estimated to be raised through taxes is $161,985,350.

The average home property in Parsippany valued at $314,365 will pay $6,859.42 in 2025, which is a tax rate increase of $163.43.

The board is proposing budget cuts by eliminating the following positions:

"We made what we think it is the best of the worst decisions that we could make," said Superintendent Robert Sutter. "And it's just unfortunate but we cannot continue down this path with a 2 percent tax levy. It's just not sustainable"

The next step before the budget hearing scheduled for April 24 will be to submit the proposed budget to the Executive County Superintendent for approval.

The April 24 budget meeting will be held at Parsippany Hills High School, at 20 Rita Drive, Morris Plains.
