Fellowship Village
in Basking
Ridge is a not-for-profit, faith-
based, full-service Continuing
Care Retirement Community that
provides independent living,
assisted living, skilled nursing,
sub-acute care, and rehabilitation
services. All of these services are
located on one beautiful campus
in Basking Ridge. As a part of
their mission to provide Seniors
with more choices,
Fellowship
Village
has expanded its offer-
ings to include the
Helping Hands
Program
for those individuals
who want to remain in their
home with additional assistance.
The
Helping Hands Program
is
designed to help both on and off-
campus clients with personal care
in their home.
Helping Hands
provides Certified Nursing Assis-
tants or Certified Home Health
Aides who are supervised by a
Registered Nurse and provide a
host of support services on a fee
for service basis.
We take pride in matching our
clients with our caregivers in order
to provide optimal outcomes.
Before you begin services, you and
your family will meet with a Care
Coordinator to determine the care
you need. Options include assis-
tance with the activities of daily liv-
ing including personal care;
bathing, dressing and grooming;
light housekeeping and laundry,
escort to medical appointments,
shopping and activities, medica-
tion management support, peri-
odic care assessments, compan-
ionship, light meal and snack
preparation, and much more.
Choosing the right homecare
provider can be a challenging
task. It is important that you ask
the right questions during your
initial meeting. Getting the facts
about a potential service provider
will allow you to select the right
company that is able to meet
your needs. Be informed before a
crisis arises by discussing your
needs with your doctor, nurse, or
hospital discharge planner. Make
sure your provider is licensed by
the Division of Consumer Affairs
in the State of New Jersey. Con-
firm the agency has insurance to
protect the client and caregiver,
including workmen’s compensa-
tion and liability insurance. In
addition, check to see if the aides
are certified, bonded and have
undergone a thorough back-
ground check and drug-screening
test.
Helping Hands
utilizes their
experienced
Fellowship Village
team of professionals, providing
exceptional care, which is critical-
ly important when facing new
health challenges.
Helping Hands
carefully screens all of their care-
givers and that includes a com-
prehensive background check,
physical and reference check.
There are stringent qualifications
that must be met to become a
part of the
Helping Hands
team.
