Right at Home Award-Winning Senior Care Services

Right at Home of Essex County

Family-owned and operated for over 22 years, Right at Home of Essex County provides award-winning in-home care and support for older adults throughout Essex County, New Jersey. Based in West Orange and co-owned by mother-daughter team, Maeghan Scott and Melodie Toby, we help seniors remain safe, comfortable, engaged, and independent wherever they call home. We understand that every family’s situation is unique. Whether a few hours of companionship each week, assistance after a hospitalization, dementia support, or full-time live-in care, our services are tailored to each client’s individual needs, routines, and goals. Our tenured caregivers assist with personal care, bathing, dressing, mobility support, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, companionship, and safety supervision. One of the things that sets us apart is our responsiveness and hands-on approach. We know that care needs often arise unexpectedly, and we can frequently begin services within 24–48 hours - sometimes sooner in urgent situations. Families often tell us that we make stressful transitions feel more manageable through communication, compassion, and practical support. We are especially experienced in helping families navigate transitions home from hospitals, rehabilitation centers or back to assisted living communities. Our team works closely with families and healthcare professionals to help create realistic, safe, and sustainable care plans at home. In addition to traditional home care services, we proudly offer our ENRICH Program, a companionship-focused program designed to provide socialization, structure, cognitive stimulation, and meaningful engagement for older adults. Right at Home of Essex County is deeply rooted in the local community and committed to helping older adults age with dignity, connection, and quality of life. We are available 24/7 to answer questions and support families through every stage of the aging journey.

Aaron Zuckerman Private Math Tutor

## Private One-on-One Math Tutoring — Customized for Every Student **Aaron Zuckerman is a certified teacher with more than 10 years of private tutoring experience**, offering personalized, one-on-one virtual math instruction for students at a wide range of levels. Every student learns differently. Rather than following a standardized curriculum or using a one-size-fits-all tutoring program, **each session is individually tailored to the student**—their strengths and weaknesses, learning style, current coursework, and academic goals. Instruction continually adapts as the student's needs change. ### Math Tutoring Includes: **Pre-Algebra • Algebra I &amp; II • Geometry • Pre-Calculus • Calculus** Whether a student is struggling with a particular concept, needs ongoing support in a challenging class, or wants to strengthen their overall mathematical skills, tutoring is designed around exactly what that individual student needs. Support is available for **homework, quizzes and test preparation, skill development, concept mastery, and long-term academic improvement**. The goal is not simply to get through the next homework assignment or pass the next test. Students develop a stronger understanding of the mathematics itself while building the skills and confidence needed to succeed independently. **All tutoring is private, one-on-one, and virtual.**

From 12 Meals to 2 Million: Franciscan Charities Launches First 5K Run &amp; Walk
September 12th event at South Mountain Recreation Complex – Franciscan Charities invites the community to run, walk, volunteer and support Newark neighbors in need
Franciscan Charities, a Newark nonprofit that has grown from serving 12 meals on its first day to providing 2 million hot meals for more than two decades, will host its first 5K Run &amp; Walk on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the South Mountain Recreation Complex in West Orange.
The event will bring runners, walkers, volunteers and supporters together from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Participants can register online at <a href="https://franciscancharitiesinc.org/ways-to-give/5km-walk-run" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://franciscancharitiesinc.org/ways-to-give/5km-walk-run</a> or on event day at the Clipper Pavilion beginning at 8:00 a.m.
Franciscan Charities began more than 20 years ago as a small soup kitchen in the basement of St. Ann's Church in Newark. Since then, the organization has served 2 million hot meals, including approximately 140,000 meals last year.
Beyond meals, Franciscan Charities provides diapers and formula to families, school supplies and uniforms to children, winter coats, and holiday gifts. The organization's work during the COVID-19 pandemic was recognized nationally by the Obama Foundation, which featured Franciscan Charities as a "Story of Hope" and described the organization as "small but mighty." The City of Newark has also recognized Franciscan Charities as a "beacon of hope and inspiration."
“Food insecurity remains a serious challenge for many Newark residents, particularly families and individuals struggling with the rising costs of food, housing, and other basic necessities. Please come out and join us on the 12th - your support will make a real difference. We can do this together!” Brother Paul Miller, Founder and CEO
