Home Care Services in Toms River

At Visiting Angels^® Ocean County, we know how important home care services can be for older adults in Toms River and nearby areas of Ocean County, NJ. According to surveys from AARP, more than 80% of American seniors prefer to age in place for as long as possible. Yet for many older adults, this is only possible with a caregiver’s help and support.

While home care offers big benefits to seniors, many families struggle with the decision of when to hire home care. Hiring a caregiver can feel like a big step—one that you or your loved one may be hesitant to make. But if you wait longer than you should, it could have adverse consequences on your loved one’s health and well-being.

Visiting Angels Ocean County can help make this decision easier for you and your family. We offer care consultations to families in Toms River, Brick, and the surrounding Ocean County area for free, with no obligation to proceed with care. This way, you can get expert advice from a home care expert without any cost or risk. We can help you decide if it’s the right time to start care for your loved one. If not, we can give you a better sense of when you should make the switch to home care services.

If you’re trying to decide whether to hire home care or companion care for a loved one, we encourage you to book a consultation. In the meantime, here are three points you and your family may want to consider…

When to Get Started with Home Care Services

• Discussions About Care Usually Happen for a Reason. In our experience, when a family starts discussing home care, that’s a strong sign that care is needed. Most families are hesitant to hire in-home care, so these conversations normally take place for a good reason.
• You Can Start Small and Increase Care Over Time. In-home caregiving doesn’t need to start with full-time care if your loved one only requires moderate support. Once-a-week care visits can provide the assistance they need without disrupting their day-to-day routines and overall lifestyle. From Companion care to Personal Care, hourly help or full live-in services are available. 
• Family Caregivers Need Support Too. If you’re one of the millions of Americans who provide care for an older loved one, respite care visits can help reduce your risk of caregiver burnout. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed by caregiving, it’s essential you find outside support.
