Whether you’re in the suburbs of Newark or Jersey City, the coastal towns of Toms River and Atlantic City, or quieter communities like Edison and Cherry Hill, Thrive at Home Network connects New Jersey families with local aging-in-place experts. From safety upgrades to home care coordination, we support seniors throughout the Garden State.
New Jersey provides excellent healthcare access and active senior communities, but the diverse geography poses unique aging-in-place challenges.
Key considerations include:
Coastal flooding and hurricane risks in Shore areas
Dense urban environments with mobility and traffic barriers
High housing costs complicating downsizing and accessibility modifications
Transportation gaps outside major metro hubs
Here are some of our most helpful checklists for those who want to age in place confidently:
Bathroom Safety Checklist
Improve bathroom safety with grab bars and walk-in showers — important in older New Jersey homes where space can be tight.
Fall Prevention Checklist
Identify hazards like steep staircases, uneven sidewalks, and worn steps, especially in suburban and coastal towns.
Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Prepare for hurricanes, nor’easters, and coastal flooding throughout New Jersey’s shoreline and lowlands.
Decluttering & Downsizing Checklist
Organize row homes, basements, and older apartments for safer, easier living.
In-Home Care Checklist
This checklist helps you assess caregiving needs whether you’re in North Jersey, South Jersey, or the Shore areas.
