The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Newton, NJ for 2025

"The caregivers are very down to earth, they do what is needed to be done and the work is very exceptional. I feel safe and have a peace of mind when they are taking care of my husband. I’m very grateful for this company and definitely would recommend this to anyone who needs the care"

"I have been using Generations Home Healthcare for a number of years now. They are caring for my sister. They are there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They're certified home health care aides, and they do everything. They assist her in getting dressed when she needs it, making meals, and making sure she is safe, which is the most important thing. My sister is very comfortable with them. She knows most of them now. There's a core of four people that handles her care. In general, they have qualified people working for them that care about the clients."

"I met with Director of Client relations Casey a few years back so I could prepare in case my mom needed help. He was kind, thorough, and professional. Three years later, I needed a home health aid for my mom quickly (was sent home from hospital and could not be alone). He swooped into action and within 24 hours we had staff in place for her care at home. Unfortunately, my mother went back to the hospital just as the first nurse came to do an evaluation, and she soon passed. But Synergy in South Orange/Maplewood helped my family at a critical time and did so compassionately and patiently. I recommend their services highly and am grateful for their help."

"The service from Alway Best Care has been exemplary. The caregiver they have matched up with our family member has been an excellent fit. It has allowed our mother to stay in her home as she wished by providing the help she needed while still allowing her the independence she desires. When we needed additional help at certain times, Greg & Robin were always able to provide this. I would highly recommend this company."

"I found Home Instead from the Caring.com website. I did not regret hiring them because they are very thorough and if I have to change the time it's fine with them. They are very flexible. They don't oblige me of certain schedule and hours. They are not strict like I should have Mondays to Fridays or whatever. If I would need them and call them they would send somebody out right away. That's what I like best about them. My husband is very comfortable having the caregiver around for a companion and to watch over him. "

"Pam was an absolute pleasure to work with, very professional and sympathetic to my needs. I needed a home caregiver that was experienced to assist my mother who recently been discharged from a rehab center. Pam made sure that the home caregiver matched up to my mother’s needs including taking the proper medications, light cooking (healthy lunches), walks and rehab. I am very pleased how things worked out with Pam’s attentiveness and exceptional service. I would certainly recommend Actual Homecare Services to anyone needing a home caregiver. My mind is at ease knowing that my mom is in good hands and doing exceptionally well."

"Became a client of Right at Home a few months ago. Utilized their services to help care for my adult brother. From my first interactions with Anne and Angela , I knew I had chosen a great agency. These wonderful women are a reflection of a professional and empathic home heath care provider. They are extremely experienced and detailed in their interactions, always explaining each step of assessment and assistance in a caring and insightful manner. Often they went above and beyond to help me understand how to navigate the complexities of health care. Everyone I dealt with at R at H was professional and attentive to my brother’s needs. Just a great agency to help with your loved ones. "

"For the past several years, my mother has had an aide 2 days a week. But with the pandemic, she now has a daily aide, since family members can’t enter the bldg. This help has been invaluable. I have an excellent rapport with her aide and the agency is responsive and attentive to any requests "

"We used Above The Rest for my parents. They provided companionship, light housework, some cooking and bathing assistance. The caregivers were very good. We didn't have problems or issues with billing."

"I hired a caregiver from Visiting Angels who is fairly good and responsible, although they are not meeting all of our needs at the present time. I wanted somebody five days, and they are only able to support me four days a week. The caregiver is wonderful, though."

"We hired Preferred Care at Home of Northwest New Jersey as opposed to others because they were able to fulfill the schedule that we needed. They were the most reasonably-priced and they were quick to come and do an evaluation. They're working with my father three days a week for five hours each day. They take him to and from dialysis, do light cleaning, food shopping, and light meal prep. Their caregivers are excellent and we are very happy. They're very reliable; absolutely compassionate. They have great communication with me, the office, and the actual home health aide herself. They go above and beyond with what they are expected to do."

"Toni provided excellent direct care for my elderly father while offering consistent friendly support at the same time for my mother, his primary caregiver. Toni was instrumental in helping to maintain my father’s well-being, offering tips to my mother. Toni was a God-send during a challenging time. I will be forever grateful for the loving care she provided during my father’s illness and throughout his decline. I highly recommend her! "

"I have used this agency for hha for my mom who is a stroke surviver, bedridden with dementia. No less thank 4 times (in less than 6 months) nobody has shown up, and the agency notifies me it will be hours (once 6 hours) for a substitute to arrive. Yesterday and today, I went to work, only to find out an hour later no aide was with my mom. (AND SHE IS COMPLETELY HELPLESS!) They have no backup system, and are not dependable. I wish I could make a criminal complaint for endangering my moms life. DO NOT USE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE "

"I found myself in a situation where my mother was home and recovering from a serious injury that required someone to be with her for extended hours during the day. The care that her insurance provided was not enough to keep her safe and allow her to heal. That is when "From the Heart" came to the rescue. The owners of this company (Linda and John) were very responsive to my request for additional help and they accommodated my need with very little notice. In fact, Linda said she would come and stay with my mother personally if they were not able to fulfill the need as quickly as we needed. The health care aides they sent were all carefully vetted, experienced and wonderful to my mother. They showed up on time and every day they were scheduled, unlike the insurance provided aides who showed up only 60% of the time. Knowing that a qualified person would be there every day to take care of my mother's needs gave me peace of mind and allowed me to continue working. From The Heart Elder Care is an admirable representation of how small businesses can have a positive impact on a community and I wish them much continued success. "
