Newark itself is a college town, but most of the older adults in the area live just outside it, in Bear, Glasgow, Brookside, and Pike Creek. Those four communities alone are home to about 10,700 people aged 65 and older. Reliable Aid sends caregivers to homes across the Newark area to help with the parts of the day that have gotten hard, so your loved one can stay where they're comfortable.

After a stay at Christiana Hospital

Home care or home health?

Much of what shows up when you search for care around Newark is skilled home health: nurses and therapists sent after a hospital stay. Reliable Aid provides home care, the everyday help with bathing, meals, and company. Many families use both. See the difference.
