Specialized In-Home Care for Seniors
Dementia and Alzheimer's Care at Home
Memory loss changes day to day. Our caregivers keep routines steady, use gentle redirection when a parent is confused or anxious, help with bathing and meals, and watch for wandering and fall risks. Staying in a familiar home often makes the hardest days easier, and we keep the family updated along the way.
24-Hour Home Care
When a parent should not be alone at any hour, we schedule caregivers in shifts so someone is always awake and present. This works well after a hospital stay, during a decline, or when nights have become unsafe.
Live-In Caregivers
A live-in caregiver stays in the home and provides steady help throughout the day, with time set aside to sleep at night. Families often choose live-in care when a parent needs company and support all day but usually sleeps through the night.
Respite Care for Family Caregivers
Caring for a parent is a lot to carry. Respite care gives you a few hours, a weekend, or a week to work, travel, or rest while a trained caregiver steps in.

Senior Care Questions Families Ask
How much does in-home dementia care cost in New Jersey?
Cost depends on how many hours of care are needed, the stage of memory loss, and whether you need overnight, 24-hour, or live-in support. We review your parent's needs during a free consultation and give you a clear quote before care begins.
What is the difference between 24-hour care and live-in care?
With 24-hour care, two or three caregivers work in shifts so someone is always awake. With live-in care, one caregiver stays in the home and helps throughout the day, with time set aside to sleep at night. We help you choose based on how your loved one does overnight.
Do you provide companion care only, without personal care?
Yes. Some seniors mostly need company, conversation, meals, and rides to appointments. Others need hands-on help with bathing and dressing. We build the care plan around what your loved one needs now and adjust it as things change.
Are your caregivers employees or contractors from a registry?
Our caregivers are hired directly by Guiding Hearts and background-checked before they work with any family. We match each caregiver to your loved one by experience, personality, and schedule.
How quickly can in-home care start?
In many cases care can start in as little as 48 hours. Call (908) 373-1348 and we will set up a free consultation.
