Home care in Tenafly

Care options in Tenafly

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.
