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

NJ's State Comptroller Says Parsippany Violated NJ Procurement Laws with Knoll Country Club Renovation

PARSIPPANY, NJ - New Jersey's Office of the State Comptroller says Parsippany-Troy Hills improperly used the “emergency” exception and hired a vendor without seeking competitive bids.

According to the State Comptroller's Office's news release, the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills violated New Jersey procurement laws by paying a contractor nearly $1.3 million for renovations to the municipally owned Knoll Country Club without seeking competitive bids, according to a report from the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller (OSC). The renovations occurred under an improperly used “emergency” exception to bypass the public bidding process during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The investigation by OSC, prompted by an anonymous tip, found that the repairs and renovations conducted in 2020 and 2021 did not qualify as emergencies. Despite claims of mold and water damage, which the Township cited as justifications for the emergency contract, the OSC found no imminent risks to public health and safety, especially since the building was closed to the public.

In one particularly pointed exchange, Parsippany’s then-business Administrator forwarded several new invoices for emergency work in the bar and grill room to the General Manager, and asked, “How does the removal of the Bar constitute an emergency, unless it is slowing up happy hour?”

The OSC report emphasized that procurement laws, such as the Local Public Contracts Law (LCPL), are in place to ensure transparency, foster competition, and safeguard taxpayer funds. Parsippany failed to document the need for emergency contracts, bypassed public bidding requirements and did not secure proper approvals from the Township Council or Business Administrator, as required by law.

Mayor Jamie Barberio's office issued an official response. Although he was not in office then, he acknowledged the OSC’s findings and emphasized that the current administration is taking steps to correct the issues. “The Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) conducted a very thorough investigation into emergency procurements made during a prior Administration at the Knoll West Country Club between 2020 and 2021. The Township fully cooperated and assisted the OSC, and we thank Comptroller Walsh for bringing this incident to our attention,” Barberio said.

He continued, “While I was not in the office at the time, and although remediation and reconstruction of the Knoll West may have been necessary, the Comptroller’s report makes it clear that the use of emergency procurement procedures under the New Jersey Local Public Contracts Law’s fact-specific requirements was not justified.”

Barberio further assured the public that none of the individuals involved in the improper procurement process are currently employed by the Township, adding, “We are correcting these issues by ensuring there is a team in place who understands that public confidence in the integrity of local government is of paramount importance. None of the individuals involved in the Knoll West failure to comply are currently employed by the Township, and we have a different Mayor, Business Administrator, Chief Financial Officer, Purchasing Director, Assistant QPA, Golf General Manager, and Township Attorney.”

To prevent similar incidents in the future, Barberio has directed key township officials to update procurement policies and conduct comprehensive training. “To ensure rules and guidelines are followed in the future, I have instructed the Business Administrator, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Purchasing/QPA to update the Township Purchasing Manual to implement robust policies, procedures, and internal controls. Our Business Administrator, Jamie Cryan, and new Director of Purchasing/QPA, who not only teaches classes at Rutgers University on NJ procurement procedures, but also developed the curriculum for Principles of Public Purchasing I, II, and III, Introduction to Public Purchasing, and Green Product Purchasing, will be conducting comprehensive trainings with Department and Division Heads to ensure that the Township is going beyond the basic steps to safeguard public funds,” Barberio concluded.

In light of the findings in this report, OSC makes the following recommendations to help ensure Parsippany adheres to applicable procurement laws and properly spends taxpayer dollars in the future. These recommendations reflect procurement best practices that should be adhered to by all New Jersey municipalities:

The OSC’s report also pointed out that had the Township followed proper bidding procedures, it might have received more competitive pricing. For two other projects at the golf club that went through public bidding, multiple proposals at varying prices were received, highlighting the benefits of competition.

After 76 years, Cerbo family closes lumber yard that 'helped build Parsippany'

PARSIPPANY − From their vantage point along Route 46, the Cerbo family has not only witnessed the exponential growth of their hometown, but supplied much of the material that transformed it into the largest municipality in Morris County."We helped to build a lot of Parsippany," said Cathy Cerbo, who closed her family business, Cerbo's Lumber and Hardware, on Tuesday after 76 years and three generations.From 1950 - two years after S.

PARSIPPANY − From their vantage point along Route 46, the Cerbo family has not only witnessed the exponential growth of their hometown, but supplied much of the material that transformed it into the largest municipality in Morris County.

"We helped to build a lot of Parsippany," said Cathy Cerbo, who closed her family business, Cerbo's Lumber and Hardware, on Tuesday after 76 years and three generations.

From 1950 - two years after S. Cerbo and Sons opened to the public - to 1970, Parsippany-Troy Hills grew from about 15,000 residents to more than 55,000 and became the crossroads of North Jersey commerce, a home to Fortune 500 corporation headquarters in its many office complexes.

Now, many of those vacant offices are giving way to demolition and redevelopment. And with that transition also comes the conclusion of a business that connected homeowners and contractors with the lumber, hardware and other products they needed to fuel the post-World War II building boom in suburban New Jersey.

"Back then, it was houses," said Pat Cooper, who married into the Cerbo family and worked there for more than 20 years. "A lot of the farms were being sold and made into developments."

Decades later, with little developable land left in town, Cerbo said the business flexed with the times and "found its niche."

"Commercial work, municipal work, apartments, schools, remodeling, additions," Cerbo said.

Why sell now?

The Cerbo family outlasted generations of competition, including a Channel Lumber location right down the road that later became a Rickel Home Center. And despite fierce competition today from big-box retailers like Home Depot, business was still good, Cerbo said.

Cerbo and Cooper chuckled about years of false rumors they were planning to close and sell their 4-acre property with coveted highway frontage. "It is a very good location," Cerbo said. "We always knew we would get an offer worth accepting."

She declined to reveal the terms of the purchase agreement, stating only that the buyer was "a local developer."

"It was the right offer at the right time by the right developer," she said. "The plans are yet to be determined."

Italian immigrants planted roots

Cathy's grandfather, Salvatore Cerbo, came to the United States in 1910, one year after his brother, Antonio, planted his roots in the Parsippany area. A farmer by trade, Antonio started with pushcart produce sales in 1913. Some of the 26 acres of what became known as the Cerbo Greenhouse and Garden Center on Littleton Road were claimed by the construction of Route 80 in the 1970s. But that business is still there, recognized as the town's oldest after 112 years.

"My grandfather worked there for a time, became a citizen first and then went to fight in World War I," Cerbo said.

When he returned, Salvatore turned to the building trade and eventually bought a house on his future business property that is still there. Surrounded by fig trees, the Dutch Colonial house was occupied by Cerbo family members until about 1990. It is used mostly for storage now.

Prior to opening the lumber yard on the property in 1948, Salvatore opened a roadside stand and lodge-style tavern there in the late 1930s.

The Cerbos expanded the lumber business in the 1950s, acquiring additional property and expanding the main building to add the familiar two-story storefront visible to motorists passing by.

Salvatore's sons, Rocco and Cathy's father, Nick, represented the second generation of the family business. So did Cathy's aunt Fil, but "Back then, the women didn't get any credit," Cathy said, nodding to a vintage "S. Cerbo and Sons" sign on the wall.

Nick went on to become a revered elder member of the community, a go-to local historian and champion of heart transplants after receiving his own transplant in 1996, with the surgery performed by Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Pat Cooper has worked both sides of the extended family business, starting in the lumber yard from 1976 to 1982. He married Cathy's cousin, Cindy, on the greenhouse side of the family and went to work there before coming back to the lumber yard in 2007.

At age 68, he plans to retire and work on his golf game, frequently at the municipally owned Knoll Golf Club. Cerbo said her future is still to be determined, but stay tuned. "I plan to be a productive member of society," she said.

She also extended warm wishes to the many people employed there over the years.

"They are like family to us," she said. "They helped to make this business possible."
