Does Endurance Home Care provide home care in Kinnelon?
Yes. Endurance Home Care serves families throughout Kinnelon from our Short Hills office, about 37 minutes away. Care can be by the hour, awake overnight, live-in or around the clock, and it can be companion care or personal care with hands-on help. A registered nurse visits at home first to write the care plan with you, and your Care Manager keeps the family posted.
Care options in Kinnelon
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.
Where Kinnelon points older residents
Morris County's directory of senior centers doesn't list one in Kinnelon; it lists centers in nearby towns such as Montville and Pequannock. The borough's Senior Services page sends older residents to the Health Department and its Public Health Nurse for information about what's available, so that's a good call to make alongside ours.
Meals on Wheels for Kinnelon comes through the Butler Nutrition Center at 28-30 Carey Avenue in Butler. A caregiver can cook the other meals, do the shopping and keep your husband company through the parts of the day that feel long.
Booking rides three business days ahead
Dial-A-Ride, listed on the borough's Senior Services page, needs 72 hours' notice, three business days, before an appointment. Morris County's MAPS also offers curb-to-curb shared rides to residents 60 and over for medical trips, social services and grocery shopping.
Three business days works for a routine checkup. It doesn't work for a follow-up set on a Thursday for the next Monday, or a prescription that needs collecting today. A caregiver who's already with him can drive to appointments, errands and the pharmacy on the day, and wait with him while he's seen.

Questions Kinnelon families ask
Does Kinnelon have a senior center?
Morris County's directory of senior centers doesn't list one in Kinnelon; it lists centers in nearby towns such as Montville and Pequannock. The borough directs older residents to its Health Department and Public Health Nurse for information about services. Meals on Wheels comes through the Butler Nutrition Center, and Morris County's MAPS provides curb-to-curb rides for residents 60 and over.
How much notice does Dial-A-Ride need in Kinnelon?
The borough lists 72 hours, which is three business days, before an appointment. For anything sooner, a caregiver can drive your parent and stay with them through the visit.
Can my mother get library books without going out?
Yes. Libraries by Mail, run by the Morris County Library, is a free delivery service for county residents who can't get to their library because of transportation or health. On days she'd like to go, a caregiver can take her to Kinnelon Public Library at 132 Kinnelon Road.
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.
