After Overlook or a rehab stay
Families in town often come home from Overlook Medical Center in Summit, sometimes with a rehab stay at Cornell Hall Care and Rehabilitation Center in Union in between. A caregiver can be at home the day your loved one returns, go through the discharge plan with you, keep up medication reminders and make the trip to the bathroom at night a little safer.
In home care in Kenilworth can be a few hours a week, or overnight care when the nights are what worry you most. We value our caregivers, treat them like family and pay them time and a half on holidays, and that loyalty comes through in the way they look after your family.
A caregiver for the everyday in Kenilworth
For many parents, the kitchen is the heart of the house. A caregiver can cook alongside your mom, following her recipes and leaving her the parts she still enjoys, like seasoning the sauce or setting the table. Afterward the dishes get done, the counters wiped and the leftovers labeled for tomorrow's lunch.
Errands are a chance to get out and see people. Doctor's visits, the pharmacy and the hairdresser can all fit into one outing, with the caregiver staying through each stop. A weekday visit to the library, where a familiar face at the desk says hello, can brighten an otherwise quiet afternoon.
Home care in Kenilworth includes the family, too. Our Union County office gives you a picture of each week, and on video call days, your loved one's caregiver has the tablet charged and ready. After a stay in the hospital, getting back into the kitchen is often the clearest sign that recovery is on track.
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. You'll always have a clear, written estimate before care begins, with no surprises.

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.

What families are saying
I would definitely recommend Always Responsive Home Care, Union County NJ!!!! My dad was in a very bad state, both physically and mentally, after my mom passed away. Dad was in the hospital for weeks and then at the rehab center for more weeks. We hired Always Responsive Home Care to send a caregiver to stay with dad every day at the rehab center as a companion and care giver while my sister and I were at work. The owners Frank and Gianni were wonderful. They arranged care for my dad within a day and even came to visit dad themselves several times, bringing him treats and keeping dad company. The caregiver Enoch was so great with dad. He chatted with him throughout the day, helped him in and out of bed and the bathroom, helped him with his meals, and made sure that my dad had anything he needed. We really appreciate everything that Always Responsive Home Care did for Dad. You will not go wrong hiring this team for your loved one.
