Assisted Living at Home LogoAging is a natural part of life that we all hope to go through in a successful, graceful manner. We are so used to seeing our parents as the “adults” or as our protectors, that we sometimes pay little attention as they go through that process. That is, until suddenly we realize they already require assistance in going about their daily tasks. This is especially true if they start becoming forgetful, or if they have struggles with mobility.

While we may want to ensure that they are always looked-after, oftentimes seniors prefer to maintain their independence and stay in their own homes rather than in nursing homes. It is a good thing then, that Assisted Living at Home, an enriched in-home senior care company in New Jersey, understands this.

Assisted Living at Home believes that with the proper care and supervision, seniors as well as the disabled can remain in their homes safely while still sustaining their quality of life. The company does this by transplanting the benefits of assisted living such as socialization and activities into the home.

The services Assisted Living at Home provides include:

  • Certified home health aides and companions who are supervised by a registered nurse
  • A care manager to handle all non-care needs
  • Pet therapy
  • Medication monitoring
  • Visiting physicians
  • Visiting beauty salon
  • Concierge services
  • Both 24 hour live-in as well as hourly care services

These services are the product of a reinvention of the traditional home care program that the company offered when they started in 1989. According to the company’s owners, while they did offer seniors the ability to fulfill their wishes of staying in their own homes, they lacked certain services that made assisted living attractive.

After much careful planning, Assisted Living at Home was re-imagined to bring a more holistic approach that promotes living an enriched life with the help of certified home health aides who are bonded, insured, and supervised by registered nurses.

This means that aside from keeping track of the senior’s physical health, Assisted Home Living’s employees also make sure that the seniors are also kept happy and active. They can do this through the pet therapy (therapy animals are brought in for animal lovers) and visiting laptop (computer experts help clients access the internet and communicate with loved ones) programs, as well as by coordinating the senior’s appointments and social calendars.

Of course, finding a trustworthy individual to help keep our parents safe is no joke but Assisted Living at Home assures us that they only hire caregivers who truly care. It is imperative that the company’s caregivers have excellent personal care skills and are able to enrich the lives of the people they care for.

Aside from their regular services, Assisted Living at Home also does little extra things that help make life easier for their wards. For instance, Gary Skole, the company’s president recounts this story:

“One of our clients moved from an assisted living facility back to her son’s home. She had a problem with one of her pieces of equipment and was not sure where she purchased it from. We spent several hours researching it and arranged for the repairs. This normally would have required the son to take off from work and he was extremely happy that we were able to help his mother when he wasn’t able to be there.”

Even little tasks like these display Assisted Living at Home’s intent to make life easier for seniors and their families. It certainly is a relief to have such dedicated partners in keeping our parents safe and content (even when we can’t always be around). And it’s also one way to show our appreciation for all mom and dad have done for us.

To date, this member of the Home Health Service Association of New Jersey offers its services to clients from the Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties. To make sure that families are aware of their service offerings, Assisted Living at Home has UPrinting produce its brochures and business cards.

Gary talks about his printing experience saying “I selected UPrinting because I had an over-sized brochure and they gave me the best pricing. The quality also turned out to be great.” Thanks to UPrinting’s excellent quality and reasonable prices, the company is able to maximize its budget to produce marketing materials.
