Geriatric Care Management in Englewood, NJ

Englewood's hospital and downtown

Englewood Hospital is one of Bergen County's major hospitals, and many Englewood seniors have their doctors there. Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck and Hackensack University Medical Center are also close. We help families during and after a hospital stay, from reviewing the discharge plan to setting up services at home. See our hospital discharge planning service.

Downtown Englewood, along Palisade Avenue and near bergenPAC, has shops, restaurants and bus service toward the George Washington Bridge and New York. For older adults who live close to the center, that can make life without a car easier.

Very different neighborhoods

Englewood ranges from large homes on the East Hill to apartments, condos and smaller houses closer to downtown. A parent in a big house on the hill may face long driveways, many stairs and real isolation if they stop driving. A parent in an apartment may be closer to services but living alone. We tailor every plan to the actual home and the actual person.

How we help

• In-person care assessments at home
• Screening, arranging and overseeing in-home care
• Going with your parent to doctor visits
• Recommendations on assisted living, memory care and nursing homes
• Family meetings when siblings disagree

We never accept commissions or referral fees, so our guidance is always in your family's interest. Read more about our work across Bergen County.

Signs it may be time to call a care manager in Englewood

Englewood's mix of big homes on the East Hill and apartments near downtown means the warning signs can look very different from family to family. On the hill, it may be a parent who has stopped driving and now rarely leaves the house. Downtown, it may be a parent who lives alone in an apartment and seems fine until a neighbor calls. Common signs we hear:

• Groceries that go uneaten or spoil
• Unusual purchases, or new "friends" asking for money
• Missed doctor visits at Englewood Hospital
• Falls, even small ones
• New confusion or mood changes after an illness

If several of these are true, a professional assessment helps the family get on the same page. Learn about our care assessment and what it includes.

Supporting a parent in Englewood from far away

Englewood is close to New York City, but plenty of adult children here still live too far to help day to day. Some are across the country. Others are just across the river but working long hours.

We become the local person your parent and your family can count on. We visit on a regular schedule, go to appointments at Englewood Hospital or elsewhere, check on aides and help with bills and paperwork. When anything shifts, such as a fall, a new diagnosis or a worried call from a neighbor, you hear from us that day.

For families with a parent who lives alone in a large home, we also look at safety, upkeep and isolation. Sometimes the right answer is more help at home. Sometimes it is a move. Either way, you get honest advice, even when it is not what anyone hoped to hear. Our long-distance caregiving guide has more tips.
