Care We Arrange in Monmouth County
Hourly Care
Visits are booked as four-hour shifts, for a weekly total of at least 20 hours. Hourly care can also give a family caregiver time away, sometimes called respite care.
Overnight Care
Support through the night hours. We review how overnight care will work during the in-home assessment. Learn more about overnight care.
Live-in Full-time Care
A caregiver stays in the home to provide full-time support. Read how live-in care works.
Dementia and Alzheimer's Care
Memory care at home for a loved one living with dementia or Alzheimer's. Caregivers receive training, and we encourage families to ask about the training of the caregiver assigned to them. Learn more about dementia and Alzheimer's care.
Our caregivers also assist with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing and moving around the home, along with meal planning, help around the house and companionship. Other services include 24-Hour Care and Hospital-to-Home Care, as well as Facility Companion Care for residents of long-term care facilities and assisted living communities. Each is described on our services page.
Home Care, Home Health Care and Home Health Aides
Award Homecare provides everyday, non-medical support. We do not provide skilled nursing or medical care. If your loved one may need nursing or therapy at home, their physician is the right person to advise, and we can connect your family with a wound care doctor or other providers.
"Home health aide" is also a state title: in New Jersey, a certified home health aide is certified through the state Board of Nursing. For families looking for a home health aide in Freehold, Howell, Middletown or elsewhere in the county, we are glad to say whether the caregiver assigned to their loved one is certified. Our screening includes a certification check, a background check and references, and further questions to ask are on our questions and answers page.
Monmouth County Resources for Older Adults
Monmouth County runs its own programs for older residents. The State of New Jersey lists the county agency as the Monmouth County Division of Aging, Disabilities and Veterans Services, at 732-431-7450, while the county's website still uses the name Office on Aging. Its Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC) line, 1-877-222-3737, reaches a live person who can provide information on senior caregiving programs.
About one in five Monmouth County residents is 65 or older. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2024 five-year estimates, 123,370 of the county's 645,353 residents are in that age group, or 19 percent (margin of error 0.1 point).
| Need | County Program | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | The ADRC line reaches a live person with information on senior caregiving programs. The office line covers other senior programs. | 1-877-222-3737 or 732-431-7450 |
| Transportation | The Special Citizens Area Transportation (SCAT) program serves older residents, with trips to nutrition sites, food shopping and medical appointments. Service is not available in all towns. | 732-431-6480 |
| Meals | Twelve county sites serve a hot noon meal to people 60 and older. Homebound older adults can receive a home-delivered meal once a day, Monday to Friday, for a suggested donation. The county lists no separate meals number, so the ADRC line is the place to start. | 1-877-222-3737 or 732-431-7450 |
| Risk of wandering | Project Lifesaver, run with the Sheriff's Office, provides a tracking bracelet for people at risk of wandering as dementia progresses. | 732-431-7450 |
| Home safety repairs | A limited home repair and barrier-free program for qualified seniors. | 732-431-7999 |
The county also helps fund eight senior centers, open Monday to Friday, that offer activities, health screening and counseling.
