Jeff Borghoff, once known for his social nature, faced growing isolation as Alzheimer’s disease began to impact his life. Friends slowly faded away, leaving him in a world of loneliness and confusion. But when Right at Home Jersey Shore, NJ caregiver Bernie Branz entered his life, things began to shift. Bernie understood the profound challenges of Alzheimer’s, especially the toll it took on Jeff's sense of connection.

For the past six years, Bernie has been a constant presence every Friday morning for their “Breakfast with Bernie” ritual. Meeting at a cozy local restaurant, they share coffee, hearty breakfasts, and conversations that cover everything from family stories and old movies to sports and tech gadgets. These moments have become a lifeline for Jeff, giving him a sense of purpose and stability in a world that often feels fragmented. Bernie’s presence has brought him friendship and dignity, helping Jeff navigate the challenges of Alzheimer’s with grace. Bernie embodies the Right at Home mission of improving the quality of life for those we serve, bringing connection, dignity, and joy into Jeff’s life.

This month, five siblings—all in their 90s—gathered to celebrate the eldest, Harold Hoyle, turning 98! 🎉 Harold (pictured far right) was joined by his “little” brothers and sisters: Gayle Brietske (92), Lowell Hoyle (93), Lyle Hoyle (95), and Genevieve Sherman (97). That’s five siblings over the age of 92!

To add a fun twist to the celebration, the family sported matching shirts with playing cards showing their ages—a nod to their last name and the famous phrase “According to Hoyle,” a reference to the book of rules for card games. What an amazing family and milestone! 💕
