When someone lives with dementia
words can blur
but tone cuts through instantly.
A calm voice feels safe.
A rushed voice feels alarming.
Frustration is heard even when the words are kind.
Communication becomes emotional, not verbal.
The goal is not perfect sentences
it is emotional safety.
Call us to build a predictable care routine that brings peace back home

When someone is living with dementia, the brain has to work harder to process decisions.
What feels like kindness to us
“What do you want to eat?”
“Which shirt do you want?”
“Where do you want to sit?”
Can feel overwhelming to them.
Fewer choices reduce anxiety and increase comfort.
Instead of open-ended questions, offer gentle guidance:
• “Would you like tea or water?”
• “Blue sweater or gray sweater?”
• “Let’s sit here together.”
Small adjustments change the emotional tone of the entire day.
This is the difference specialized dementia care makes. It’s not about control. It’s about creating calm.

We'll work with you to come up with the best plan for your family and always be available 24/7 to help.
Our owner, Beth Sholom, has a long history of caring about and for the elderly community. Her mother worked for 35 years as an assistant to the executive director of a nursing home in Brooklyn, a short distance from Staten Island where Beth grew up.
Both of her grandparents eventually had to live in a nursing home Her grandmother lost both of her legs due to diabetes and needed extra care and moved to the nursing home and Beth’s grandfather, who had lived with other family members, fell and broke his collar bone. He did not want to live away from his wife any longer so even though they were in separate beds on separate floors in the nursing home, they were together. Beth always relates their experience to the Kathy Mattea song “Where Have You Been”:
They'd never spent a night apart
For 60 years she heard him snore
Now, they're in a hospital
In separate beds on different floors
Where have you been? I've looked for you forever and a day
Where have you been? I'm just not myself when you're away
Beth’s experiences with her mother working at the nursing home and her grandparents living there inspired her to always want great care for seniors. She became an elder care attorney with a degree in special education, so she could advocate for both the elderly and people living with handicaps. Beth also has her CALA (Certified Assisted Living Advisor) license so that she can understand and be able to work with the clients and staff of assisted living facilities. She also has been a Certified Dementia Practitioner for many years.
Beth’s passion has always been to ensure that her clients received better care than her grandparents had, and she has worked tirelessly for many years to make sure that happens.
Recently Beth’s father fell and had brain surgery. As he recovers, it reinforced Beth’s commitment to make sure that her clients receive the same type of care from Right at Home of Central New Jersey that she wanted for her own father.
Beth’s motto and belief has always been and will always be that we care for your family as we would for our own!
