What Aging Really Feels Like1/13/2026  The Age Simulation Suit teaches compassion for the elderlyHave you ever wondered what it really feels like to be old? At Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNANNJ), our team of healthcare professionals help the elderly every day. But what does it actually feel like to BE elderly? The Age Simulation Suit is designed to replicate the physical challenges many older adults face every day, from limited mobility to reduced vision and strength. Everyone who has worn this suit relates how eye-opening and deeply humbling the experience was, and expresses a better understanding of why compassionate care at home matters so much. This is the reality our patients live with, and the reality we are honored to support, every single day. Thank you for helping VNANNJ deliver understanding, dignity, and care where it matters most: at home. View a short video about the Age Simulation Suit here. Or read an article about the Age Simulation Suit here. Did you know that VNANNJ 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.  The Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNANNJ) is a leading provider of comprehensive home health care services in Morris, Hunterdon, Sussex, Warren, Somerset, and Passaic counties in Northern New Jersey. Established in 1898, generations have known that just one call 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.
