How care starts

  1. A home visit

    We come to you to understand what help is needed.

  2. A written care plan

    Hours, tasks, and who is coming — on paper, and yours to change.

  3. Care begins

    A few hours a week or 24-hour care. No long-term contract.

Start here

Where are you right now?

Families call us at three different moments. Pick the one that sounds like yours and we'll tell you what to do first — even if you never hire us.

I'm starting to worry about Mom.

What we'd do first

Walk the house with you and name the risks out loud: the stairs, the stove, the pill organizer nobody's refilling. Then start small — four hours, two mornings a week. Parents accept help more easily before a crisis forces it.

Dad's coming home from the hospital.

What we'd do first

Get a caregiver in the house the day he's discharged. The first two weeks home are when falls and readmissions happen. We cover meals, bathing, medication reminders, and rides to follow-ups, then step down as he steadies.

I've been doing this by myself for a while.

What we'd do first

Give you a night off this week. Respite care can be one afternoon, a weekend, or a standing night so you can sleep. You don't have to hand over everything — hand off the shifts that are wearing you down and keep the rest.

How it works

Four steps, and you'll know exactly what care costs

  1. 15 minutes

    Tell us what's going on

    Call or send the form. A care manager — not a call center — asks about your loved one and answers what you ask.

  2. About an hour

    We visit the home

    We meet your loved one where they live, look at the real risks, and listen to what they want. You're welcome to join by phone.

  3. Within 24 hours

    You get a plan and a price

    A written schedule, the tasks each shift covers, the hourly rate, and the weekly total. No surprises later.

  4. Before day one

    You meet the caregiver

    You approve who walks through the door. If the fit isn't right, say so and we'll send someone else.

careberi cares · Pro bono program

Free home care for New Jersey families in financial hardship.

Cost should not decide whether someone gets to stay home. Through careberi cares, we set aside a number of fully pro bono caregiving hours each month for seniors and adults with disabilities who can't afford care and don't qualify for other help.

  • No cost to the family — the same trained, background-checked caregivers as our paid care.
  • For NJ seniors and adults with disabilities facing a genuine financial gap.
  • Anyone can nominate — a family member, a social worker, a neighbor, or the person themselves.

Apply or nominate someone

Tell us a little about the person and their situation. A care manager reviews every request personally and follows up within a few days — confidentially, and with no obligation.

Straight answers

Questions families ask us

How much does home care cost?

Non-medical home care from careberi costs $36–$50 an hour in New Jersey, depending on the level of help and the time of day, with no minimum per visit. For example, 20 hours a week comes to about $720–$1,000. You'll have the exact weekly number in writing before you commit to anything. Rates as of September 2026.

Do you provide home health care?

Not yet. careberi provides non-medical home care today: help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, companionship, and getting around. Home health care is medical care ordered by a doctor, and it's something we plan to offer in the future. If your loved one needs medical care at home now, their doctor can arrange it through a home health agency, and careberi can provide the non-medical help alongside it.

How fast can you start?

We aim to start within 48 hours, and same-day for hospital discharges when we have a caregiver available in your area. Call — even late — and we'll tell you honestly what we can staff.

Do you offer free or reduced-cost care?

Yes. Through careberi cares, our pro bono program, we set aside free caregiving hours each month for New Jersey seniors and adults with disabilities in financial hardship who don't qualify for other help. Anyone can apply or nominate someone — a family member, a social worker, or the person themselves.

My parent says they don't need help. Now what?

Most parents say that. It usually goes better when the first visit is framed around something specific and non-personal — meals, driving, housekeeping — rather than "you need a caregiver." We're happy to help you plan the conversation before anyone shows up.

Who are the caregivers?

Employees, not contractors — which means they're covered by our liability and workers' comp insurance, not your family's homeowners policy. Every caregiver clears a national background check, a driving record check, and reference calls, and completes ongoing training including dementia care.

Do you take insurance or Medicare?

Medicare doesn't pay for non-medical home care, so most families pay privately. If your loved one has long-term care insurance, bring the policy to the home visit — we'll read it with you and help you file the claim. If cost is what's standing in the way, ask about careberi cares, our pro bono program.

What is respite care?

Respite care is short-term care that gives a family caregiver a break. With careberi, respite can be one afternoon, a weekend, a standing night each week, or the week you're finally taking a vacation — with the same trained, background-checked caregivers as ongoing care.

What if we need to change or stop?

Give us 24 hours' notice to change or cancel a shift. There's no long-term contract and no cancellation fee. Care that goes up after a hospital stay and back down as your loved one recovers is normal — we expect it.

I live out of state. Can I still manage this?

Yes. Families who live out of state get visit notes after each shift, a direct line to the care manager, and a call from us if anything changes — a fall, a refused meal, a bad week.
