As the Baby Boom generation continues to age, elder care, as well as medical assistance in general, have become more essential than ever, especially because family members may be spread out geographically due to career pursuits. Mom and Pap’s Home Care is a privately owned and licensed home care service firm serving the state of New Jersey using only certified and licensed home health aides.

President and CEO Ena Forbes more than 14 years of experience with home care, starting with her 100-year-old grandmother. Through that experience she realized how important it is to have loved ones receive the best-hands on care possible. She says, “our most important service is the coordination of care to our clients. Each of our client needs are unique so in order to provide them with the best possible one-on-one care. A structured care plan is created based on the requirements of the client as well as any special request from their PCPs.” Forbes received a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Business Administration and Management from Berkeley College NJ in 2014. They are licensed, accredited by the Better Business Bureau, insured and bonded.

“One of the things which sets us apart is that Mom and Pap’s Home Care Agency is not apart of any franchises company. We are locally owned and operated, and since there’s no pressure for franchise fees, this makes a big difference to our clients’ pocket. The company was created with the need for affordable service, which means our clients are able to afford their service for as long as needed,” explains Forbes.
