FAQ — discharge from Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center
Can care start the same day Livingston discharges my family member?
Yes, usually. Call Sofia at (908) 912-6342 the morning of discharge. If the home is set up and we have a caregiver match, first shift can arrive within 6 hours. Most starts happen within 24 hours.
Does Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center’s discharge planner know 24 Hour Home Care NJ?
Yes — Sofia coordinates with the Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center discharge planners and social workers. If your case manager wants direct contact, give them (908) 912-6342.
Does insurance cover home care after Livingston discharge?
Long-term-care insurance often covers it. Medicare and Medicaid do not — those cover skilled nursing, not the hands-on companion/daily-living help most discharges need. Sofia verifies LTC benefits before a shift starts.
What if my family member needs different care after a week at home?
Care levels flex. Many families start with 24-hour supervision the first week, then step down to overnight or daytime-only as recovery progresses. Sofia adjusts the plan with you.
Do you cover the smaller Essex County towns too?
Yes — Sofia’s roster reaches every Essex County town. See the Essex County home care hub for the full coverage list.
