New Jersey has been one of the states hit hardest by a pandemic that has targeted older and infirm Americans. Shared senior housing facilities, such as assisted living and nursing homes, where residents often gather together closely for social, leisure, and recreational activities, shared dining, laundry facilities, stairwells, and elevators have been especially targeted by the virus. This is why an increasing number of New Jersey families are choosing senior home care over institutionalized care for elderly loved ones.
“Many families are, frankly, concerned about the safety of their aging relatives living in residential housing, especially when every time they turn on the television they hear stories about the high infection and mortality rates found in these homes,” said Frank Esposito, Executive Vice President of Expert Home Care of NJ. “In addition, due to policies enacted at most of these senior living facilities, visitation has been severely restricted. This means that any social interaction with family members is often limited or prohibited.”
As a result of the demand for elderly care at home, Expert Home Care of NJ has done a phase 1 expansion of its home health care services in Middlesex, Hudson, Mercer, Monmouth, Ocean, Somerset and Union counties. According to Esposito, additional expansion will be considered.
While surveys have long showed that in home care is the #1 preferred option for caring for older family members, chosen by as many as 90 percent of respondents, the preference has grown dramatically during the coronavirus pandemic. Every year an estimated 12 million elderly and infirm Americans, many with serious underlying medical conditions, depend on some form of home care, according to the National Association for Home Care and Hospice. They are the prime target for severe illness or death if they contract Covid-19.
Social distancing can be a challenge with home care, which often requires the need for close contact in caring for the elderly. According to Esposito, Expert Home Care’s NJ certified home health aides and senior caregivers closely follow the strict CDC guidelines of regular hand washing, the wearing of masks and gloves, and having their temperature taken and their wellness checked frequently.
“The biggest concern for many of our clients is isolation and not being able to access the outside world,” said Esposito. “Many families find during difficult times like this, home care, particularly live-in care, offers the best option.”
