Westfield is a vibrant town in Union County with tree-lined streets, historic homes, and a bustling downtown. As of 2023, it has an estimated population of around 30,760 residents and covers an area of 6.7 square miles. The town combines small-town charm with easy access to New York City via nearby train lines. The median age is 41 years, reflecting a balanced mix of families and retirees, with many households caring for both aging parents and young children.

Westfield’s excellent public schools, parks and cultural events make it one of New Jersey’s most desirable places to live. However, as parents juggle busy careers and children’s activities, caring for elderly loved ones can be challenging. Our 24‑hour home care service offers peace of mind by ensuring a trained caregiver is always present.

Why Families Choose 24‑Hour Home Care

When a loved one requires ongoing assistance, families often debate between moving them to an assisted‑living facility or keeping them at home. We believe there’s no substitute for remaining in familiar surroundings. Here’s why:

  • Maintaining independence: Seniors stay in the comfort of their own residence while receiving help with personal care, meals and household chores.
  • Consistent companionship: Live‑in aides or rotating caregivers provide conversation, social engagement and a watchful eye 24/7.
  • Specialized dementia support: Caregivers trained in memory care help clients maintain routines, reduce agitation and ensure safety.
  • Overnight monitoring: Nighttime supervision reduces the risk of falls and provides immediate assistance with toileting, medications or disorientation.
  • Customized schedules: Whether you need round‑the‑clock care, an overnight sitter or a few daytime hours, plans can be adjusted to fit your family’s needs.

With 24‑hour care, Westfield seniors enjoy personalized support without sacrificing the comforts of home.

Home Care Options: Live‑In vs Rotating Shifts

Our agency offers several approaches to around‑the‑clock care. During your consultation we’ll recommend the best fit:

  • Live‑in caregivers: A single caregiver resides in the home and provides continual assistance during waking hours, sleeping overnight while remaining available if needed. This option is ideal for clients who need companionship and moderate help.
  • Rotating 24‑hour care: Two or three caregivers work 8–12‑hour shifts so someone is awake and alert at all times. Rotating shifts suit individuals who require frequent overnight support or skilled medical monitoring.
  • Overnight senior care: For families who manage daytime care themselves, our overnight aides ensure loved ones stay safe through the night, assisting with mobility, toileting and medication reminders.
  • Live‑in aides in Westfield: We match your family with a caregiver whose personality and training align with your loved one’s needs, providing seamless support for daily activities.

Key Benefits for Seniors in Westfield

  • Fall prevention: Caregivers assist with transfers and mobility, minimizing the risk of nighttime falls.
  • Dementia and memory care: Specialized aides create structured routines, provide memory prompts and maintain a soothing environment.
  • Social interaction: Companionship combats loneliness and keeps seniors engaged with hobbies, conversation and outings around Westfield’s parks and shops.
  • Medication management: Reminders and monitoring ensure prescriptions are taken correctly and on time.
  • Respite for family caregivers: Knowing a trusted professional is onsite 24/7 allows family members to rest, work and focus on their own wellbeing.

From the South Avenue train station to Mindowaskin Park, our caregivers are familiar with Westfield’s neighborhoods and can accompany clients on walks, errands or appointments.

Private Pay & Long‑Term Care Insurance

Most Westfield families pay for 24‑hour care through a combination of private funds and long‑term care insurance. In New Jersey, companion‑level home care costs about $30 per hour and certified aides average $38 per hour【776614744924248†L48-L60】. The 2024 national median for continuous care is $30 per hour—approximately $720 per day or $5,040 per week【776614744924248†L52-L55】.

Live‑in arrangements typically start around $325 per day【776614744924248†L67-L70】, while assisted‑living facilities average $6,650 per month【776614744924248†L142-L147】. Although extended 24‑hour home care can reach $21,823 per month at national median rates【776614744924248†L52-L55】, personalized in‑home care often provides better value when long‑term care insurance offsets some costs. Our team will help you understand your policy and maximize benefits.
