Care options in Basking Ridge
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 Basking Ridge
The county senior center is right here
Basking Ridge is part of Bernards Township, and the township points older residents to Somerset County's services. The county's Senior Wellness Center is in Basking Ridge itself, on Mount Airy Road, open on weekdays with lunch served.
A caregiver can fit around it: getting ready in the morning, a ride to the center and back, then company, a meal and help at home for the rest of the day. Where your parent's doctor or a home health agency already has a plan in place, we build our hours around it.

Questions Basking Ridge families ask
Is there a senior center in Basking Ridge?
Yes. Somerset County's Senior Wellness Center is at 202 Mount Airy Road, open on weekdays with lunch served. Bernards Township points residents there rather than running its own.
Is Basking Ridge its own town?
No. It's a community within Bernards Township, so local services come through the township and Somerset County.
Can someone stay with my mother overnight?
Yes. An awake caregiver can stay through the night hours, or we can arrange live-in or around-the-clock care. Someone in the house overnight changes how quickly anybody notices a problem, and in an emergency a caregiver calls 911 at once and stays with your mother until help arrives. We'll talk through which fits the nights you're worried about.
Why is care arranged in longer shifts here?
Distance. Long private drives and a low-density, wooded township mean a short visit with a long drive at each end isn't worth buying. Cover works better in longer blocks and fewer of them, and live-in care often suits this area better than hourly.
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.
