Garden State Eldercare South Orange, NJ

At Garden State Eldercare, we create customized care for a range of needs. We pride ourselves on providing dependable, highly personalized attention and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When we receive a request for service, an initial complimentary consultation follows, after which our approach consists of three elements:

Assessment- A Registered Nurse and a Social Worker meet with the client/family to conduct a thorough evaluation, also known as an assessment. A plan of care is then developed in collaboration with the client's physician. The plan of care specifies which services are recommended, as well their frequency.

Assistance-The plan of care, tailored to meet individual needs, can include:

Nursing Services

• Medication management, to insure medications are taken in the proper dosages
• Monitoring of vital signs
