Understanding Alzheimer’s Care in Westfield

Westfield is one of Union County’s premier residential communities — a tree-lined town with excellent schools, a vibrant downtown, and a large population of professionals and retirees. Many families have lived in Westfield for decades, and when a parent or spouse receives an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the instinct is to keep them at home in the community they know and love. Overlook Medical Center (Atlantic Health System) in nearby Summit provides neurology and geriatric services, but the daily management of Alzheimer’s — wandering prevention, behavioral changes, personal hygiene, and sundowning — requires trained in-home caregivers.

The Alzheimer’s Association NJ Chapter reports over 180,000 New Jersey residents living with Alzheimer’s. The National Institute on Aging describes it as a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. For Westfield families, keeping a loved one in their own home — surrounded by familiar rooms, photographs, and routines — reduces the confusion and agitation that unfamiliar environments trigger.
