Serving Hopewell from our Short Hills office
Home care in Hopewell
On Mondays the Hopewell Valley Senior Center has bridge from 1:30 to 4:00, and Hopewell Valley Rides covers trips anywhere in the valley for $8 each way. If your father is still enjoying afternoons like that but the rest of the week at home has gotten harder, some help can fill in around them. Tell us what's changed, and we'll plan the hours with you.
The first conversation is free, and nothing starts until you say so.
Does Endurance Home Care provide home care in Hopewell?
Yes. We provide home care throughout Hopewell Township, Titusville included, from our Short Hills office. Your family can choose hourly visits, awake overnight care, live-in care or care around the clock, as companion care or personal care with hands-on help. A registered nurse comes to the house first to write the care plan with you, and you meet the caregiver before the first visit.
Care options in Hopewell
Help 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.
Hopewell Valley Rides, and the afternoons it fills
Hopewell Valley Rides takes your father anywhere in the valley for $8 one way, Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. It serves residents of Hopewell Township, Hopewell Borough and Pennington Borough who are 60 and over and no longer drive, and the township asks for 48 hours' notice. The first 10 one-way rides each month are at the $8 rate, and additional rides are billed at the full cost of the ride. A caregiver traveling with your father has to be registered too, and he may wait at times between the end of an appointment and his pick-up. Mercer County's T.R.A.D.E. service goes anywhere in the county for a $1 suggested donation, also on weekdays only. Township Senior Services is at 201 Washington Crossing-Pennington Road in Titusville.
A caregiver covers the rest: a Saturday errand, an appointment that came up yesterday, or the wait after a visit ends. She can drive him there, stay with him through the visit and bring him home.
Bridge, mahjongg and meals at the door
The Hopewell Valley Senior Center at 395 Reading Street, Pennington, has Social Bridge on Mondays from 1:30 to 4:00pm and a Mahjongg game on Thursdays from 1:30 to 3:30pm, free, where beginners are welcome to sit in with experienced players. Meals on Wheels of Mercer County, which the township's resources page links, brings a meal once each weekday between 10:30am and 1:00pm to residents 60 or older who need help to leave home. Volunteers can't leave it unattended at a door or in a cooler, so someone needs to be home.
A caregiver can be there when the volunteer arrives, put the meal out with the rest of the day's food and help your father get to bridge or Mahjongg. Then the caregiver stays for the company, the meals and the house in between.

Questions Hopewell families ask
Who can use Hopewell Valley Rides, and how soon do we book?
It's for residents of Hopewell Township, Hopewell Borough and Pennington Borough who are 60 and over and no longer able to drive. Rides are $8 one way, Monday through Friday only, with 48 hours' notice requested. The first 10 one-way rides each month are at the $8 rate, and additional rides are billed at the full cost of the ride. For a weekend trip or a same-day appointment, a caregiver can drive your parent and stay through the visit.
What goes on at the Hopewell Valley Senior Center?
It's at 395 Reading Street in Pennington. The township lists Social Bridge on Mondays from 1:30 to 4:00pm and a free Mahjongg game on Thursdays from 1:30 to 3:30pm, with beginners welcome. A caregiver can help your parent get there and back on those afternoons.
What is Operation Blue Angel in Hopewell Township?
It's a free Hopewell Township Police program for residents of the township and the borough who are 55 or older and live alone or are alone for extended periods. Police place a lockbox on the door that holds a key you supply, and responding officers use it only in an emergency when they can't get in. A caregiver can be with your parent on the days they would otherwise be on their own.
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 does not pay for ongoing daily help at home.
