BUSINESS BRIEFS

Executive Care has opened a new office on Adelphia Road in Freehold to serve central New Jersey residents seeking skilled nursing and home health aid services. Owners Senen Cabalfin and Jeff Wolf have forged a partnership through a shared experience working to make the lives of seniors and people with disabilities more comfortable.

After years as a full-time nurse, Cabalfin created Special Care Community Services, a nonprofit that provides support, services and resources to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Wolf is a former Wall Street financial expert who transitioned in the early 2000s to business ownership. He is president of Mobility Consulting & Contracting Co. Inc., a company that modifies the homes of people with disabilities to make in-home living more manageable.

Established in 2004, Executive Care offers a variety of care giving and skilled nursing services to help families often overwhelmed with the responsibility of providing care to a loved one — all while ensuring the patient remains in the comfort of his or her own home. Details: 732-308-1512.
