For over one hundred years, Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNANNJ) has been a vital resource to the residents in our community who need specialized home-based care. Our professional high-quality nurses, therapists, aides and other staff provide the compassionate service that accounts for our close to 100% satisfaction as documented by an independent survey of our patients and their caregivers. This ability to meet important needs in our community motivates us to provide our services for the benefit of all.

Visiting Nurses (Skilled Nursing)

Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNANNJ) registered nurses are specially trained in the evaluation, instruction and supervision of home nursing care services, including medication supervision, wound care, patient and family teaching, injections, cardiac care, prenatal and postpartum care, colostomy care, SIDS counseling, post-operative care,
specialized transition to palliative care nursing and hospice care.

Home Health Aides

VNANNJ's certified home health aides provide home health care for the elderly and all those in need. Their skills include assistance with personal care, meal preparation and feeding, assistance with other activities that promote safety and independence and other tasks as specified in the written care plan created and supervised by the VNANNJ visiting nurse.

In-Home Rehabilitation

Patients requiring rehabilitative services may receive physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy to recuperate from physical injury, stroke and disorders of speech, language and swallowing, as well as assistance in coping with cognitive dysfunctions.

• Physical Therapy: Retraining and rehabilitation in essential physical skills lost as a result of illness or disability.
• Occupational Therapy: Retraining and rehabilitation in essential life skills lost as a result of illness or disability.
• Speech Therapy: Retraining and rehabilitation in essential language and communication skills lost as a result of illness or disability.

VNANNJ specialists trained in social work services counseling provide the patient and family with long-term planning assistance and counseling. Our dedicated and compassionate social workers are especially appreciated by families coping with the stress of long-term illness, permanent disabilities, Alzheimer's home care, palliative care nursing and hospice care.

There are times when home health care services will greatly benefit a patient, but Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance benefits are exhausted or will not pay for the services. Whatever the reason, families often choose to pay for home health care services out-of-pocket as "Private Care."

Private Care provides greater choice in the type and extent of services available to the patient and caregiver without the restrictions required by government, private insurers or charitable care. Private Care is also an important option for families dealing with two working parents, child rearing and elder home care for aging parents, or home care for a disabled family member.

All our services are available on a Private Care basis throughout the greater Morris area we serve. We offer a range of services from highly specialized home nurse and rehabilitation care to companionship and help with daily hygiene and home chores.

VNANNJ can also help you locate, and apply for, financial support programs that may be of assistance to you, and we can assist you in locating reputable financial consultants who can help you plan the best use of your own financial resources.
