Understanding Arthritis

What families in Monmouth County need to know

Arthritis in older adults — most commonly osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis — causes joint pain, stiffness, and functional limitations that gradually reduce ability to perform activities of daily living independently.

Monmouth County spans coastal Red Bank to inland Freehold and Marlboro; Hackensack Meridian's Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the flagship. For arthritis care specifically, Monmouth County families benefit from proximity to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, which serves as the county's primary acute-care and discharge-coordination anchor.

Post-hospital discharge coordination: When a Monmouth County senior is discharged after a arthritis-related admission, private-pay home care can typically start within 24-48 hours. Jersey Shore University Medical Center's case management team works directly with local premium home care providers to arrange coverage before the person arrives home.

What a arthritis caregiver does day-to-day

Care intensity in Monmouth County: Care intensity is typically part-time (4-8 hours/day) unless combined with cognitive impairment or severe mobility loss.
