"I've been using SYNERGY HomeCare of Toms River every day, from 8:00 to 4:00 except Saturdays and Sundays. The aide is wonderful. She takes me where I need to go, to appointments, and she shops for me. She has done some vacuuming, now she had watered my plants when I requested, and she chats with me. SYNERGY made sure that I had food or I didn't have food. Then when I was in the hospital, they came twice. I'm very impressed."

"The caregiver from United Methodist serves as a companion to my wife for a few hours a day to keep her interested in stuff when I'm not with her. The caregiver comes at 10:00 and leaves at 2:00 four times a week. She helps with anything like preparing lunch and washing dishes. She does everything that's necessary and she's been a very good support for us."

"We are using Lares Home Care for my mother. They help my mother with cooking, dressing, and showering. We have been using them for two months now. We chose them because they were very helpful. They immediately responded. They placed someone very, very quickly, and we were very happy with the people that they placed with us. The caregivers are excellent. They're very caring and very on top of things. Communication is excellent. Follow-up is excellent. I have nothing bad to say. Scheduling is fine as well. We have never had a problem when someone had to leave temporarily for a day off or something to get someone else to come out, they take care of everything. It is flawless. I would recommend them. Their caregivers are very nice, very pleasant to work with, very professional, dressed very nicely as well, and very clean and neat."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Lakewood:
| Resource | Contact | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meals on Wheels of Ocean County | (609) 978-6869 | P.O. Box 610, Stafford, NJ 08050 | Meals on Wheels of Ocean County serves freshly prepared meals to Lakewood residents aged 60 and over who are homebound, unable to cook their own food and lacking support from family or friends. Although the meals are free, donations of $2 per meal are greatly appreciated. Each meal provides at least one-third of the daily dietary recommendation established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
| Ocean County Office of Senior Services | (732) 929-2091 | 101 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, NJ 08753 | The Office of Senior Services is an important resource for Lakewood residents aged 60 and over. It administers a range of programs and services aimed at helping seniors continue to live independent lives at home. These include Ocean Ride, which provides door-to-door transportation services for $3 or $6 per trip, and a fixed route bus service for $1 per journey. There’s also help for low-income seniors who may be eligible for Medicaid. |
| VA Housebound Allowance | (732) 323-1248 | Highway 547, Bldg 488, Walsh Drive, Lakehurst, NJ 08733 | The VA Housebound Allowance is a monthly payment made to U.S. military veterans to help them meet some of their home health care costs. The allowance is also available to the spouses of veterans and included with the monthly VA pension. To qualify, the senior must be mostly confined to their home because of a disability and be eligible for an enhanced pension. |
| LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance) and USF (Universal Service Fund) | (609) 549-5822 | 144 John Street, Lakewood, NJ 08754 | LIHEAP and USF are federally funded programs that help eligible low-income seniors whose homes need to be made more energy-efficient. There is no cost for the services, which may include, depending on the energy audit, insulating attics and crawl spaces, repairing or replacing faulty furnaces and sealing gaps in windows and doors. To be eligible, the senior must have an annual income of no more than $25, 760. For a couple, the maximum is $34,840. |
| State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) | (800) 668-4899 | 1027 Hooper Avenue, Building 2, 1st Floor, Toms River, NJ 08754 | SHIP is a free program for seniors who are Medicare beneficiaries and those who need help with enrolling. Counselors provide unbiased information and advice regarding coverage, including Medicare plans that can address shortfalls. They can also discuss private health care insurance but won’t try to sell plans. |
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – oftentimes it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
