A Letter From Our Founder

I started my career as a Registered Nurse because I've always found joy in helping people. Early on, I realized my passion was for helping seniors live out their lives in the best way possible. For ten years, I worked as a home care and hospice nurse, gaining valuable experience and insight into the needs of seniors and their families.

Despite being newly married with young children, I decided to take a huge step and start my own home care agency in 2010. I knew I could make a difference by using my strong background in nursing to improve home care services. This led to the birth of Always Responsive Home Care.

  • “Our caregiver feels like part of the family now. She is patient with my mother's dementia and somehow makes the hardest days feel lighter. We could not ask for better.”

  • “The overnight care was a lifesaver. My husband would wander at night and I had not slept properly in months. Always Responsive sent someone reliable, and now I can finally rest.”

    Karen, Bridgewater, NJ
  • “I was skeptical about live-in care, but the caregiver they matched us with became my father's friend. He looked forward to her shifts. That is not something money can buy.”

What's the difference between home care and home health care?

Home care, also called non medical home care, helps your loved one with everyday activities so they can stay safe and comfortable at home. A trained caregiver or home health aide assists with personal care like bathing, dressing, and toileting, along with daily tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship.

Home health care is skilled medical care provided by a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN). It covers clinical tasks that require a nurse's oversight, such as IV therapy, wound care, and medication administration. Home health care is usually ordered by a doctor for a set period of time, often after a hospital stay.

Many families use both, with home care filling in the daily support between skilled nursing visits.

How quickly can care start?

In urgent situations, we can often start care the same day. For most families, care begins within one to two days. That gives us time to complete your free in home assessment, create a custom care plan for your loved one, and carefully match them with the right caregiver. We move quickly without cutting corners, because your loved one's safety and comfort always come first.

What happens during the free in home assessment?

During the free in home assessment, we take the time to get to know your loved one and your family, including their daily routines, preferences, and what matters most to them. We also complete a home safety assessment and share any recommendations to help prevent falls and make the home safer, at no charge. From there, we create a custom care plan and help you decide on the home care options and schedule that best fit your loved one's needs.

Will my loved one have the same caregiver each time?

We always do our best to keep the same caregiver with your loved one, and we note your preferences so every visit feels familiar and comfortable. Thanks to our low caregiver turnover and excellent training, most of our clients see the same friendly faces week after week. Of course, caregivers need time off and get sick sometimes too. When that happens, we let you know right away and send a wonderful, fully trained replacement who is already familiar with your loved one's care plan. That's the benefit of working with an agency. You're never left without help.

How much does home care cost?

The cost of in home care depends on several things, including where your loved one lives, how many hours of care they need, how often visits are scheduled, and the type of care required. Because every family's situation is different, the best way to get an accurate price is through our free in home assessment. There's no obligation, and we'll create a care plan that fits your loved one's needs and give you the best possible rate. You'll always have a clear, written estimate before care begins, with no surprises.

How do I reach someone after hours or on weekends?

We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Just call our main office number and ask to speak with someone. A real person from our team will help you right away, whether it's a schedule change, a question, or an unexpected situation. We're always here for you.
