Home care for older adults in the Town of Clinton, with caregivers who help your loved one keep enjoying Main Street, the river and the life they have built here.
Staying close to Main Street

For a parent living with memory loss, our Alzheimer's and dementia care keeps the day calm and familiar. We match each caregiver to your loved one so the same person comes back, and if it isn't the right fit, we change it quickly. Each of our caregivers is a certified home health aide, and we treat every one of them like family.
Home from Hunterdon Medical Center
When a loved one is discharged from Hunterdon Medical Center, the first days back are often the hardest. A caregiver can be waiting at the house, go over the discharge instructions with you, keep medication reminders on track and drive to the follow-up appointment. Caregivers in Clinton can stay a few hours, overnight or around the clock, whatever the week calls for.
Coffee, errands and friends around Clinton
Most weeks in Clinton include a little time on Main Street. Your loved one might pick up a prescription, browse a shop or meet a friend for lunch, with someone beside them at the curbs and crosswalks. When the outing is over, the caregiver drives home, helps carry in the bags and puts the kettle on for tea.
At home, the caregiver keeps things running, with the laundry done, a fresh meal ready and medication reminders at the right times. Once your loved one is back from the hospital, the two of them build a routine that fits new limits while strength comes back.
Home care in Clinton also lets your loved one stay involved. A caregiver can get your mom to Sunday services, a lodge meeting or a grandchild's spring concert, and help with phone and video calls in between. Family who live far away hear from our office regularly.
Frequently asked questions about home care
Click or tap a question to see the answer.
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.
