Better Home Health Care & Hospice2/28/2023  125 Years of Better Home Health Care & Hospice Starting in 1898 with one nurse visiting patients by bicycle, Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) has endured by seeing, anticipating, and innovating to meet health care challenges for 125 years. Research studies have shown that patients can recuperate and heal faster and more comfortably at home compared to in a hospital or nursing facility. There's also less chance of needing the hospital again when a patient recovers at home with the care of family and professionals. And the need for our home care and hospice services continues to grow. In fact, as reported in AARP, the future of hospital-level care may not take place in a hospital at all. A new study shows that keeping sick patients out of traditional health care settings, and instead bringing medical experts and equipment to the home, can reduce costs and readmission rates. But not all home care providers are the same. Since VNA’s founding, nursing has always been the center and cornerstone of our care. Then and now, it is a privilege to be a community-based nonprofit that is able to offer services to help people age in place in the familiarity of their homes.

We are proud to be the longest-serving VNA in the state of New Jersey, so we know a thing or two about helping seniors.
