Glassboro, South Jersey | Home Care FAQ | Care Right There

A Family’s First Questions Often Start at the Kitchen Table

When Karen sat across from her mother in their Glassboro kitchen, she knew something had changed.

Her mother was still smiling. Still telling stories. Still insisting she was “just fine.” But Karen noticed the unopened mail, the half-empty refrigerator, and the laundry basket that had not moved since her last visit.

She did not know what to ask first.

Was it time for home care?
 Would her mother accept help?
 Could someone come only a few days a week?
 What if dementia was part of the picture?
 What if hospice care became necessary later?
 How would the family pay?

“I felt like I had a hundred questions and no idea which one mattered most,” Karen said.

That is why Care Right There Home Care Services created this FAQ page. Families rarely arrive with everything figured out. Most begin with worry, love, and a desire to help someone stay safe at home.

Care Right There is here to help you understand your options, one question at a time.

General Home Care Questions

Home care is supportive care provided in a person’s home. It may include companionship, personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation, mobility support, dementia care, respite for family caregivers, 24-hour care, live-in care, virtual care support, and non-medical hospice support.

Home care helps people remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the help they need with daily life.

Not always. Home care usually refers to non-medical support such as bathing, dressing, companionship, meals, homemaking, transportation, and supervision. Home health care usually involves skilled medical services ordered by a physician, such as nursing, therapy, or wound care.

Care Right There focuses on supportive in-home care and can work alongside medical providers, hospice teams, and family caregivers when appropriate.

Home care may help older adults, people recovering from illness or injury, adults with disabilities, individuals living with dementia, veterans, people receiving hospice care, and family caregivers who need relief.

Many families begin care when a loved one is still mostly independent but needs help staying safe, connected, and consistent at home.

Care Right There serves families in Glassboro, Washington Township, Sewell, Williamstown, Pitman, Vineland, Mullica Hill, Clayton, Deptford, Mantua Township, and nearby South Jersey communities.

Senior Home Care Questions

Senior home care helps older adults remain safer and more comfortable at home. It may include companionship, personal care, meals, light housekeeping, errands, mobility help, reminders, dementia support, overnight care, and family caregiver relief.

It may be time to consider senior home care if your loved one is falling, skipping meals, struggling with hygiene, forgetting appointments, feeling lonely, no longer driving safely, recovering from illness, or needing more support than family can provide alone.

Home care can also be helpful before a crisis happens.

Yes. Some families need short-term care after a hospital stay, surgery, illness, fall, or family caregiver absence. Others use home care long-term as needs change.

Yes. A person may begin with a few hours of companionship each week and later need personal care, dementia care, 24-hour support, live-in care, virtual care, or hospice support. Care plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Personal Care Questions

Personal care at home provides hands-on help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, incontinence care, hygiene, mobility, transfers, and meal setup.

Yes. Caregivers can assist with bathing, showering, sponge baths, bathroom safety, dressing after bathing, and cleanup. Care is provided with respect for privacy and dignity.

Yes. Caregivers can help with getting to and from the bathroom, clothing adjustments, hygiene, continence care, changing clothing, and keeping the area clean and comfortable.

That is very common. Many people are uncomfortable needing help with private routines. A compassionate caregiver can build trust slowly, explain each step, offer choices, and support the person’s dignity.

Families often find that personal care is easier when someone outside the family provides it.

Yes. Many care plans include both. A caregiver may help with bathing and dressing in the morning, then prepare breakfast, provide conversation, do laundry, or help with errands.

Companion Care Questions

Companion care focuses on social connection, emotional support, and light help around the home. It may include conversation, meal companionship, games, reading, errands, transportation, light housekeeping, reminders, and family updates.

Companion care may help seniors who live alone, feel lonely, no longer drive, are grieving, have limited mobility, need meal support, or need regular check-ins from someone kind and dependable.

Yes. Companion care can reduce isolation by bringing regular conversation, shared meals, activities, and meaningful human connection into the home.

Caregivers may help with grocery shopping, pharmacy trips, appointments, and local errands when included in the care plan.

No. Companion care can also help someone who lives with family but still needs daytime engagement, supervision, or support while family caregivers work, rest, or handle other responsibilities.

24-Hour and Live-In Home Care Questions

24-hour home care provides caregiver support throughout the day and night. Caregivers may rotate in shifts so someone is available to help with safety, toileting, mobility, meals, personal care, dementia support, companionship, and overnight needs.

Live-in home care usually means a caregiver stays in the home for an extended period and receives required sleep and rest time. It may be appropriate when a person needs steady daily support but does not require frequent awake care overnight.

24-hour care is often best when someone wakes frequently, wanders, needs overnight toileting, has a high fall risk, or should not be alone. Live-in care may work well when the person needs regular help during the day but generally sleeps through the night.

Care Right There can help families discuss which option may fit the situation.

Families may consider 24-hour care when a loved one is falling, wandering, waking at night, unsafe alone, recovering from a serious illness, living with advanced dementia, receiving hospice care, or requiring frequent support.

Yes. Many families request 24-hour or overnight care because they are exhausted from nighttime caregiving. Having a caregiver present can give family members time to rest and recover.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Questions

Alzheimer’s and dementia care provides support for people living with memory loss, confusion, wandering risk, changes in judgment, difficulty with routines, or behavioral changes. Care may include cueing, redirection, companionship, meals, personal care, supervision, light housekeeping, and family respite.

Dementia care may be helpful when a loved one repeats questions often, forgets meals, leaves appliances on, gets lost, resists bathing, wanders, has trouble managing routines, or requires frequent family supervision.

Starting earlier can help the person build trust with a caregiver before needs become more advanced.

Caregivers can provide supervision, redirection, reassurance, and routine-based support to help reduce wandering risks. For clients who wander frequently or are unsafe alone, 24-hour care may be recommended.

Yes. Caregivers can use calm communication, step-by-step cueing, simple choices, privacy, patience, and familiar routines to make bathing and grooming less stressful.

Yes. Many people living with dementia can receive care at home, especially when the home environment is safe, and the care plan matches the person’s needs. As dementia progresses, families may need more hours of care, personal care, overnight support, or 24-hour care.

Veterans Home Care Questions

Veterans home care provides non-medical support for Veterans, active military families, Reservists, Guardsmen, surviving spouses, and military families. Services may include companionship, personal care, homemaking, transportation, dementia care, respite, 24-hour care, live-in care, and hospice support.

Yes. Care Right There can help families explore care and payment options. We establish relationships with law firms, CPAs, paralegals, and others familiar with Veterans’ care who may help guide Veterans and families through benefit-related questions.

Eligibility should always be confirmed through the proper program or a qualified benefits professional.

Yes. For those who served during active wartime and their surviving spouses, Care Right There works directly with AVCC. This organization may help eligible families access VA benefit funds more quickly than going directly through the VA.

Eligibility should always be confirmed through the proper program or a qualified benefits professional.

Yes. Care Right There offers personal care services for Veterans, including help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, hygiene, mobility, meals, and daily routines.

Yes. Veterans living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia may receive support with routine, cueing, supervision, companionship, personal care, meal support, safety, and family respite.

Virtual Care Questions

Virtual care uses technology to help seniors, families, and care teams stay connected between in-person visits. It may support reminders, engagement, family communication, care insights, check-ins, and awareness of changing needs.

No. Virtual care does not replace hands-on help when a person needs bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility assistance, dementia supervision, meals, or hospice support. It adds another layer of connection and awareness.

CareLink360 is a connection and engagement tool that may help older adults communicate with family, receive reminders, stay socially connected, and feel more supported at home.

Sensi-supported care insights may help identify changes in patterns, routines, or possible concerns in the home. This can help families and care teams better understand when a loved one’s needs may be changing.

Virtual care may help seniors who live alone, families who live at a distance, people who need reminders, clients receiving companion care, people with early memory concerns, veterans, and families who want added reassurance between visits.

Hospice Support Questions

Care Right There provides non-medical hospice support, not medical hospice care. Hospice nurses, physicians, and hospice providers manage medical comfort care. Care Right There supports the daily care needs around hospice.

Non-medical hospice support may include companionship, personal care, toileting assistance, grooming, light housekeeping, linen changes, meal support when appropriate, family respite, and a calm presence in the home.

Yes. Home care and hospice can work together. Hospice teams provide medical comfort care and clinical guidance. Home care caregivers help with personal care, companionship, homemaking, respite, and everyday support between hospice visits.

Yes. Care Right There can help families by providing non-medical support, comfort-focused daily assistance, and respite so family members do not have to manage every task alone.

Yes. Hospice support can be part of companion care, personal care, dementia care, Veterans care, 24-hour care, live-in care, or senior home care.

Payment and Insurance Questions

Families may pay for home care through private pay, long-term care insurance, creative financing, VA Community Care, VA pension benefits, workers’ compensation when applicable, or other benefit sources, depending on eligibility.

Care Right There’s agency information notes flexible payment options, including credit card, private pay, and submission of claims to long-term care insurance companies.

Some long-term care insurance policies may cover home care, depending on the policy terms, benefit triggers, elimination period, daily limits, and required documentation. Families should review their policy or contact the insurer.

Care Right There may assist with the submission of claims to long-term care insurance companies.

Some Veterans or surviving spouses may qualify for VA-related care or pension benefits that can help with in-home support. Eligibility depends on service history, care needs, income, assets, VA enrollment, and program rules.

Care Right There can help families explore options, but eligibility should be confirmed through the VA, AVCC, an accredited Veterans Service Officer, or another qualified benefits professional.

Yes. Private pay is one way families may pay for care. Care Right There can discuss care needs, scheduling, and payment options during the consultation.

Workers’ compensation may apply in some situations related to an injury or approved claim. Families should review their specific case with the appropriate insurance carrier, claims representative, or legal professional.

The assessment helps shape a care plan that fits the person, not just the task list.

Care Right There’s response time for providing care is often within 24 hours, and sometimes the same day. Availability may depend on location, schedule, care needs, and caregiver matching.
