Private Care Services

Whether active in the prime of life or elderly and living with physical and cognitive impairments, the vast majority of people find a special kind of reassurance in the comfort of their own home. However, maintaining the comforts of home for a loved one who requires constant support and supervision can take its toll. Even the most devoted caregiver needs a helping hand and respite time. That is why many families turn to the Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) Private Care Services division for help when their needs exceed allowable Medicare and private insurance parameters.

Flexible options tailored to meet your needs

Hourly assistance
Are you in need of a "time out" from the stress of being a primary caregiver or a few hours each week to run errands outside the home? Or, perhaps a loved one requires assistance with grooming and housekeeping tasks or simply longs for companionship and a break from the isolation of being homebound?

VNA can provide a caring certified home health aide four or more hours per day for one to seven days each week. A visiting nurse and Private Care representative will work with you to create a plan consistent with your requirements and resources.

Live-in assistance
Do you need full-time assistance caring for a loved one while you are at work, parenting or attending to other day-to-day activities? Or, perhaps a parent or other elderly relative wants to remain in the comfort and dignity of their long-time residence but is no longer capable of being alone.

VNA can provide full-time, live-in care. Under the supervision of a registered nurse who will establish a plan and provide training and supervision, a certified home health aide will perform day-to-day tasks and serve as a companion. To qualify for live-in services, you must be able to provide room, board and meals.
