Care options in Berkeley Heights
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 Berkeley Heights
The township's senior program and van
The Recreation Department runs a weekly senior program at the Township Municipal Complex on Park Avenue, and a van with home pickup for the Wednesday grocery run. The Senior Club meets in the same building but is a separate group with its own trips.
A caregiver can fit around both: getting ready for a morning class, a ride to appointments on the other days, then a meal, company and help at home. A standing arrangement that gets your parent up and out two mornings a week holds the rest of the timetable together.
After a hospital stay, the week that follows is what we're usually asked for. It's short, and it should end once your parent is steady again. If a clinical plan already exists, we work alongside it.

Questions Berkeley Heights families ask
Is the Senior Club the same as the Recreation Department?
No. They share the municipal complex, but they're separate. The weekly program and the grocery van are the Recreation Department's, and club trips go through the club.
Can a caregiver drive my mother to appointments?
Yes. Rides to appointments, errands and the senior program can be part of the care plan. Tell us the regular trips when we talk, and we'll build them into the schedule.
Can we start with a few hours and add more later?
Yes. You can start with a few mornings or evenings a week and add hours, overnights or live-in care as needs change. Your Care Manager adjusts the plan with you.
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.
