Because caregivers need care too.

The holidays are tough for caregivers. One in four households in the USA is struggling with the labor of love that is caregiving. But caregivers need time to run errands, to practice self-care, and maybe just need to take a little time off.

The Statewide Respite Care Program (SRCP) provides free respite care to those who qualify. Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) administers SCRP in Morris, Passaic, Somerset, and Sussex counties through grants received from the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Aging Services.

​Did you know that Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) is the longest-serving VNA in the state of New Jersey? So we know a thing or two about healthy aging and how to successfully “age in place” while avoiding hospitalization and nursing homes. We suggest that you learn more about our home health care services and make a plan to age at home before you have a health emergency.

Medicare and supplemental insurance often do not cover all the care our patients and caregivers need. If you would like to help, please visit vnannj.org/donate or call VNA Foundation at 973-451-4148.
