Care options in Essex Fells
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.

Senior services for Essex Fells
Essex Fells doesn't run its own senior center, senior club or bus, and it isn't part of the senior bus that Caldwell, West Caldwell and Roseland share. Public help for older residents comes from Essex County's Division of Senior Services, at 900 Bloomfield Avenue in Verona.
A caregiver can cover the practical side: rides to appointments and the shops, meals, errands and company at home. Tell us what your mother needs most, and we'll start there.
We'd normally point a family to what's free before quoting anything, and here the county's Division of Senior Services is the place to start. Beyond that, the arrangements that work in Essex Fells have fewer intensive personal-care hours and more standing blocks that put someone in the house on a rhythm and get your mother out of it.

Questions Essex Fells families ask
Can Essex Fells residents use the Caldwell senior bus?
No. That bus is shared by Caldwell, West Caldwell and Roseland, and Essex Fells isn't part of the arrangement. A caregiver can drive your mother to appointments and errands instead.
Where can we find public services for older residents?
Essex County's Division of Senior Services, at 900 Bloomfield Avenue in Verona, serves Essex Fells. We're glad to plan care around anything it arranges.
Can we start with a few hours and add more later?
Yes. You can begin with a few mornings or afternoons a week and add hours, overnights or live-in care later. Your Care Manager changes the plan with you as needs change.
How do families pay for home care?
Care with Endurance is private pay. If your mother 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 care?
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.
