How does In-home Senior Care in Succasunna, NJ work?

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it's 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 ages, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

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.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a unfamiliar assisted living community, 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:

Comfort
Comfort

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, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old. With the help of elderly care in Succasunna, 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.

Healthy Living
Healthy Living

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.

Independence
Independence

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 an assisted living community. 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.

Cost and Convenience
Cost and Convenience

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 to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, can be 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 in Succasunna, NJ 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.

Empowers Seniors

Affordable Care Plans

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:

Veteran's Benefits
Veteran's Benefits

Aid and Attendance benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.

Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-Term Care Insurance

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.

Private Insurance
Private Insurance

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.

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

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.


Respite Care Succasunna, NJ

During your Care Plan consultation with Always Best Care, your Care Coordinator will speak with you about in-home care costs and what options there may be to help meet your budget needs.

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 Succasunna,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.

 Caregivers Succasunna, NJ

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced 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:

An assessment of your senior loved one

01

An in-depth discussion of the needs of your senior loved one to remain in their own home

02

Reviewing a detailed Care Plan that will meet your senior loved one's needs

03

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.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

ROXBURY, NJ – Members of the Weiss family of Ledgewood, left homeless by an April house fire, expressed gratitude Sunday for the way people in Roxbury and beyond have come to their aid.

Their expressions of appreciation came at a fundraiser by the Roxbury High School Interact Club and the Roxbury Rotary Club, an event that raised about $4,000 in money and donated goods.

"I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the town and how so many people we didn't even know gave their time and money to help our family," said Claire Weiss. The home she and her husband, Joe, own on Emmans Road was ruined by an April 6 fire caused by an early-morning power surge due to windy and rainy weather.

Her mother, Jean Neilson, said she was touched by the way the high school students displayed so much benevolence and generosity at Sunday’s fundraiser. "Seeing all these young people from the Interact Club show up today gives me such hope for the future," she said.

Many volunteers flooded the Horseshoe Lake Pavilion in Succasunna to show support for the Weiss family. Lawn games from the Roxbury Library were packed with participants. The Rotary grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and sold cases of water for $25.

"The event for the Weiss family surpassed what i hoped it would be," said Roxbury Rotarian Steve Alford. "So many Rotarians giving their time to cook and so many Interact students in their pink staff T-shirts giving up their Sunday to support a cause for complete strangers was emotionally overwhelming. As I try and teach my Interact kids every day, sometimes in life half the battle is just showing up and show up they did. I am so proud to live here."

A highlight of the day: The Roxbury Fire Company 1 firefighters who responded to the Weiss house fire competed in a whipped cream pie eating contest.

The Weiss family said they were extremely thankful with the way the firefighters tried to limit the damage to their property by covering furniture, saving precious photos and protecting so many of their possessions.

Attending the fundraiser was Roxbury Deputy Mayor Jaki Albrecht, herself a victim of a house fire. "Our town is like no other,” she said. “When there is trouble, we are here."

ROXBURY, NJ – The members of the North Jersey Street Rod Association spend countless hours polishing their beautiful cars, vehicles that tend to be kept garaged on rainy days.

But that’s not stopping the club from stressing that the annual Father’s Day Rod Run charity event, at Horseshoe Lake Park in Succasunna, will take place rain or shine.

There’s a good reason: The June 18 event is the club's biggest charity fundraiser each year. This one will raise money to help Gabriel Latimer, a Parsippany 18-year-old fighting leukemia.

“Last year we had nice weather,” said North Jersey Street Rod Association President Tom Harvey. “We had a little over 300 cars and about 3,000 people came.”

Although the annual show in Roxbury is the club’s main fundraiser of the year, the car enthusiasts also raise money from several other shows and at their weekly summertime “cruise nights” at Roxbury Mall.

Last year, the club raised $22,500 for Jonas Carvalho, a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with Wilms Tumor, a childhood cancer.

Harvey noted he helped Latimer’s sister, Mercedes, create a GoFundMe page to help her brother. As of today, the page was getting close to the $5,000 goal that was set.

The Father’s Day Rod Run will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $5 per spectator with children under 12 allowed to enter for free.

Car owners who want to show off their vehicles can enter the show for $20 per vehicle.

All who attend are asked to bring canned goods to support the Roxbury Food Pantry.

Activities will include valve cover racing for children, 50/50 and door prizes, gift card raffle, NSRA Inspection, pin striping, auction at noon "and lots of beautiful cars and trucks to check out," promised the club.

Food and beverages are also available. Alcoholic beverages and pets are not permitted.

SUCCASUNNA STARBUCKS WORKERS VOTE TO UNIONIZE

SUCCASUNNA STARBUCKS WORKERS VOTE TO UNIONIZE Fifth Store in New Jersey

Succasunna, New Jersey – With a 17-4 vote, workers at the Succasunna Starbucks store, located in Morris County at 401 Route 10, in the Succasunna and Ledgewood sections of Roxbury, voted to unionize, making it the fifth store in the State to do so.

Under the leadership of Starbucks Workers United, four other locations in New Jersey have also unionized, including: Hopewell, Hamilton, Summit and Montclair.

“Congratulations to the Succasunna Starbucks workers and partners, we commend their efforts in calling the Starbucks company to begin bargaining in good faith,” said Albert Arroyo, Co-Manager of Laundry, Distribution and Food Service Joint Board, Workers United, SEIU. “We support their cause and encourage the public and legislators to join us in the unionizing of Starbucks workers.”

Starbucks partners at unionized New Jersey shops request quality training and quality health care benefits, consistent scheduling and protection of benefits.

“As a partner who has worked at Succasunna for over 2 years, I can say that management has undermined our needs, solely focusing on corporate demands,” said Rouen Nelson, Succasunna Starbucks worker. “We have survived understaffing and illegal union busting practices form our ever-changing managers, our success this week ensures that our voices will be heard, and our workplace environment will be a welcoming one. Can not wait to see what we can accomplish in the future.”

Background The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is currently prosecuting the company for failing to bargain in good faith with workers. So far, in 15 favorable decisions out of 16, NLRB judges have found that Starbucks committed 161 federal labor law violations, including 19 unlawful discharges. The federal government is currently prosecuting Starbucks for approximately 75 complaints, encompassing over 200 charges and alleging over 1300 violations, including 77 discharges. This makes the Coffee Giant the worst violator of labor law in modern U.S. history.

Starbucks Workers United, formed by Starbuck workers, has taken the labor movement by storm. Since December 2021, over 8,000 workers in 320 Starbucks stores in 38 states and the District of Columbia have successfully unionized, making it the company with more new unions than any in the 21st century.

###

Starbucks Workers United represents over 320 locations accounting for nearly 8,000 workers in the country. The LDFS Joint Board Workers United is a proud member of the SEIU NJ State Council, composed of unions representing around 15,000 service workers in the state.

ROXBURY, NJ – Several names come up repeatedly when people talk about the businesses they’d like to see at the Ledgewood Commons shopping center. A Whole Foods Market is on many wish lists. So is a Trader Joe’s grocery store and Chick-fil-A eatery.

Few, if any, people are likely to have an Optimum store on their wish-list.

Nevertheless, Optimum is the newest tenant at the 450,000-square-foot outdoor mall on Route 10. The Internet, cable television and phone company is opening a new retail store at Ledgewood Commons in the building that also houses the America’s Best Contacts and Eyewear store.

“The store is currently under construction and is expected to open this year,” said Altice USA Communications Manager Raffaella Mazzella.

She said the store will allow people “to explore the complete line of Optimum connectivity offerings, register for service, pay bills and receive assistance from a retail associate.”

The Ledgewood Commons presence will bring convenience to Roxbury's Optimum customers, who now must drive to Randolph to return equipment and conduct other in-person business with the company.

Mazzella said there are “no plans to sunset” the Randolph store, situated on Route 10 about five miles east of Ledgewood Commons. She said the company has 21 retail stores in New Jersey and is continuing to expand its number of storefronts in the state.

Mazzella did not say how many employees will be working at the new Ledgewood store, but she promised “the store will offer a modern and interactive in-store experience where customers will be able to explore the complete line of Optimum connectivity offerings, including internet, Smart Wi-Fi 6, mobile, TV and home phone services.”

The Optimum store is in a spot that was going to become home to a Quest Diagnostics office. Jared Minatelli, director of asset management at Advance Realty, did not return a message seeking information on the change.

Although an Optimum store might not cause for celebration by those yearning for Whole Foods Organic Chili Cheese Flavored Corn Chips, Trader Joe’s Mochi Rice Nuggets or a Chick-fil-A Egg White Grill Breakfast Sandwich, at least one Roxbury official is pleased.

“I’m very happy, in general, with the way that shopping center filled up during a very difficult time,” said Roxbury Councilman Bob DeFillippo. “And it continues to grow.”
