Plan the right care
Who this service is for
For people who need hands-on help with daily routines, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and moving safely around the home.
What care can include
A care plan can include bathing and dressing assistance, grooming, mobility support, meal-time help, and reminders for daily routines.
What's outside this service
An aide does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, or replace a nurse or therapist. Tell us about any medical tasks so we can explain what is within the caregiver's scope.
Situations commonly supported
Families often ask about support after a change in mobility, illness, or increasing difficulty with everyday activities. The right tasks depend on an individual assessment.
Scheduling
Discuss the days, hours, and level of help needed during your assessment. Availability and coverage depend on the care plan.
Safety and quality
Before care starts, identify fall risks, transfer needs, and any mobility equipment. Agree on safe approaches for bathing and transfers, and tell the team when a routine or risk changes so the plan can be revisited.
How the care assessment works
During the free assessment, describe the daily tasks the person can do independently, where help is needed, bathroom and bedroom access, transfer needs, and preferred routines. The team can discuss the scope, hours, and proposed care plan before visits begin.
Caregiver qualifications and supervision
Ask which credentials the assigned aide holds for hands-on tasks, how background screening is completed, who supervises the care plan, and how families can report a concern or request a change in caregiver.
Insurance and payment
Private pay is available. Personal care coverage varies by plan and authorization; ask the team to confirm current insurer participation, authorized tasks, hours, and your cost before booking.
Local service area
Ask about personal care visits in Somerset, Bridgewater, Franklin Township, New Brunswick, Piscataway, and nearby Somerset, Middlesex, and Union County communities. Availability depends on staffing and your address.
Questions families ask
Can a personal care aide give medication?
Caregivers can offer reminders when appropriate, but medical administration and treatment are outside the scope of this description. Ask us about your exact medication needs before scheduling.
What if bathing or transfers become harder?
Tell the team before the next visit so the plan and caregiver match can be reviewed. If a transfer needs equipment or a clinical assessment, ask the person's health professional for guidance.
Can visits be arranged around a family member's schedule?
Share the days and time windows you need during the assessment. The team will confirm available hours and staffing rather than promise a schedule before it is arranged.
