According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Scotch Plains and the immediate Fanwood/Westfield/Mountainside cluster has some of the best NJ assisted living options in the state — but assisted living is not the right fit for every senior who is starting to decline.

Why Choose Home Care Over Facility Care?
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, home care wins over Scotch Plains-area facility placement most often for one of three reasons: the parent flatly refuses to leave the house they raised the family in (very common in Scotch Plains’ long-tenure households), the equity value of the home is a large portion of the estate the family is trying to preserve, or the parent’s clinical needs are actually LOWER than assisted living tier and they only need targeted PCA hours. Sofia can help you diagnose which of the three applies.
