 August 21 is National Senior Citizens Day. At Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey, we’ve spent over a century helping seniors live life on their terms—safe, supported, and comfortable in the place they call home. This National Senior Citizens Day, we honor the wisdom, resilience, and contributions of older adults in our community. And we remain committed to helping them thrive through compassionate and comprehensive home care services that make aging in place possible. What can you do to celebrate seniors? Check in on your beloved seniors regularly, take a moment to thank them for inspiring you, and ensure they have the support they need to stay independent. You can also support legislation to stop the increasing cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that help seniors access home care 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.  Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) is a leading provider of comprehensive home health care and hospice services in Morris, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Passaic, and Somerset Counties in Northern New Jersey. Established in 1898, generations have known that just one call to VNA opens the door to quality, patient-centered home health care solutions that allow patients to remain in the comfort of their homes with dignity, health, and independence. © All content on The Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey's website, including blog posts, may be reproduced only if attributed to our organization with a link to vnannj.org.
