From Sofia Elmer, RN at 24 Hour Home Care NJ: If your family lives in Short Hills, Essex County, and you’ve reached the point where a single caregiver shift isn’t enough, what you’re really looking at is 24-hour care — a two- or three-caregiver rotation in the home around the clock. Short Hills families typically use this for post-discharge transitions from Cooperman Barnabas, Saint Barnabas Livingston, Clara Maass, Mountainside, or Newark Beth Israel — and for advanced dementia where unattended hours are no longer safe.
