River Edge-based senior care agency brings personal budget minded senior care solution to the region. Fear of leavening their home is well in the past for New Jersey seniors thanks to Choice Eldercare. Now seniors can hire personal round-clock caretaker directly and have it affordable too.
River Edge, NJ (PRWEB) May 1st 2006 Tri-State Care Alternatives. of New Paltz, New York, announces the opening of its sister office, Choice Eldercare, Inc., located at 790 Kinderkamack Road in River Edge. The agency specializes in personalized at-home assistance services to senior citizens but distinguishes itself in the way it provides that care. The agency’s slogan, “Care Seniors choose for themselves” means that clients are the ones who not only make the final decision on who they hire, but also pay the assistants directly, cutting out the extra expense of the proverbial middle man, which typically drives up the hourly rate for these kinds of services. This keeps the services affordable for a wider range of people who need help the most. What’s more, Choice Eldercare’s independent, pre-qualified caregivers are available on a much more flexible basis that what other agencies offer, with people caring for seniors on an hourly basis, overnight or by the week.
Choice Eldercare was by Dr. Laura Rozno, who holds a Ph.D. in nursing and clinical social work; she brings her experience now to Choice Eldercare, offering a comprehensive menu of caregiver services from which clients may choose, as well as a huge pool of reliable and compassionate assistants. However, as Vice-President Agnessa Uchitel of River Edge points out, the agency differs in the way it delivers eldercare. “Our caregivers provide the wide range of personal assistance found elsewhere but for several dollars per hour less than the average market rate. That’s because our clients make the final decision about who to hire, and pay the caregivers rather than Choice Eldercare.”
Dr. Rozno, who meets with prospective clients and handles all the intake information, charges a consultation and search fee to compile a list of employees who best fit the needs of the client. She then coordinates the interviews between the clients and the matching caregivers from her database of approximately 300 independent caregivers.
Background and reference checks are conducted thoroughly before someone makes it to the caregiver roster. Once a client finds someone he wishes to hire, the schedule, rate and payment are all handled directly with the employee. Uchitel estimates that the average client requiring six hours of outside help a week could save enough right there to pay for an extra hour of help; clients requiring overnight stays will see the biggest savings over what other agencies must charge.
