Same-day starts are the norm when families call us early.

Why Bergen County Families Choose Us for 24-Hour Home Care
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Bergen County families — especially in Hackensack, Englewood, Ridgewood, Paramus, Teaneck, Fort Lee, Tenafly, Cresskill, Closter, Fair Lawn, Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, and the Northern Valley towns — consistently choose our private-pay 24-hour care over Medicaid-covered agencies because they can (a) skip the Medicaid waitlist, (b) avoid insurance prior-authorization delays, and (c) have a certified caregiver in the home within 24-48 hours of Sofia’s first call. Private long-term-care insurance reimbursement is honored after the fact. Continuity is the second reason: the same Sofia who takes the first call still tracks the care plan three months in, and the same caregiver you started with on Tuesday is the one there next Tuesday.
Our discharge partnerships in Englewood cover Englewood Health, plus Hackensack University Medical Center (Level 1 Trauma · NJ’s largest hospital), Englewood Health (independent comprehensive stroke center), Valley Hospital (new Paramus campus 2024), Holy Name Medical Center (Teaneck · oncology), Bergen New Bridge Medical Center (Paramus · long-term care), and Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Sofia’s protocol matches your parent’s actual clinical hand-off — not a generic intake form.
