Does Endurance Home Care provide home care in Franklin Lakes?
Yes. We serve families throughout Franklin Lakes from our Short Hills office, with care by the hour, awake overnight, live-in or around the clock. That can be companion care, personal care with hands-on help, or memory support at home. It begins with a registered nurse visiting at home to write the care plan with you, and you meet the caregiver before the first visit. Most of our caregivers are CNAs, background checked and reference checked before they start.
Care options in Franklin Lakes
In-home senior care for the days, the nights, or both
Some families need a few hours a week. Others want someone there overnight, or living in. Here's what each option looks like at home.
- Hourly careHelp for the hours that are hardest, from a few mornings a week to full days. Easy to add to as needs change.
- Overnight careA caregiver who stays awake through the night hours, there when someone wakes and ready to help them settle again, so everyone in the house gets some rest.
- Live-in careA caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day with meals, routines, company and the house. Agreed rest time, including a night's sleep, is part of the arrangement.
- 24-hour careCaregivers work awake shifts, usually two 12-hour or three 8-hour shifts, so someone is up and ready to help at any hour of the day or night.
Any of these can be companion care, which covers company, meals, light housekeeping, errands and rides, or personal care, which adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing and moving around safely. See how live-in care and 24-hour care differ.

Towns near Franklin Lakes
Getting around without a borough bus
Franklin Lakes doesn't run a senior bus of its own. The borough's Senior Transportation page points residents to Bergen County Community Transportation, NJ Transit Access Link and private car services, and notes that the county service may have limited access and appointment times in Franklin Lakes.
A caregiver can drive your mother to appointments, the shops and visits with friends, on the days and at the times that suit her. Tell us the regular trips when we talk, and we'll plan the hours around them.

Questions Franklin Lakes families ask
Does Franklin Lakes have a senior bus?
No. The borough points residents to county and regional services instead, including Bergen County Community Transportation. A caregiver can drive your parent to appointments and errands on whichever days suit.
Is there a seniors' group in Franklin Lakes?
Yes. Franklin Lakes Seniors, Inc. meets at the Senior Citizen Center inside the Firehouse on Bender Court, on the first and third Wednesday of the month. A caregiver can help your mother get ready and drive her there and back.
Can we start with a few hours and add more later?
Yes. You can start with a few mornings or afternoons a week and add hours, overnights or live-in care as needs change. Your Care Manager adjusts the plan with you.
How do families pay for home care?
Care with Endurance is private pay. If your parent has a long-term care insurance policy, we can help with the policy paperwork. Medicare doesn't pay for ongoing daily help at home.
Do you provide nursing?
No. Our caregivers handle daily life: personal care, meals, the house, medication reminders and company. Nursing and therapy come from your parent's doctor or a home health agency, and we build our hours around their plan.
