Hackensack Meridian Raritan Bay Medical Center serves families across Middlesex County from two campuses — Perth Amboy and Old Bridge — covering the southern Middlesex corridor with community-hospital care. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, when a patient discharges from either Raritan Bay campus, the home transition is the most critical recovery window: same-day CHHA placement and RN-supervised care plan are how we keep patients out of re-admission.

How Our Intake and Care Coordination Works
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, our intake process is built for hospital-discharge urgency and 55+ community continuity at the same time. Sofia personally takes the first call — she gathers the medical scenario, the home environment, the family’s schedule, the budget framework, and the start-date target. Within hours she dispatches the registered nurse for a home assessment, then matches a primary CHHA whose skills and personality fit. The first 72 hours are a no-fault match-or-replace window: if the caregiver is not the right fit, we replace at no charge.
Our RN supervisor writes a personalized care plan that includes medication schedules, mobility protocols, fall-prevention measures, dietary considerations, and physician communication channels. The plan is documented, shared with the family, and reviewed at minimum every 60 days — sooner when conditions change. The CHHA documents every shift, the RN reviews the documentation continuously, and the family receives ongoing progress updates. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, this RN-led structure is what separates supervised CHHA care from the gig-style placements that dominate online directories.

Continuity of caregiver is non-negotiable in our model. Same primary CHHA on the same shifts week-over-week. Back-up coverage uses a CHHA the patient or resident has already met — never a stranger walking through the front door. This continuity matters more in 55+ communities and post-discharge scenarios than in any other care setting, because trust, familiarity, and observation pattern recognition save lives.
Most Common Raritan Bay Discharge Scenarios
- Cardiac discharges from both campuses — medication adherence + activity tolerance + cardiac rehab coordination
- Post-surgical recovery — both campuses run surgical services with discharges to home
- Wound care continuation — Raritan Bay’s wound-care specialty cases need at-home dressing changes, infection monitoring
- Behavioral health transitions from Perth Amboy — supportive home environment + medication adherence + RN coordination with psychiatrist
- Post-emergency department recovery — fall injuries, dehydration, infection — patients sent home but needing several days of CHHA support

Perth Amboy or Old Bridge — same coordinator, same fast dispatch.
Perth Amboy vs Old Bridge — Different Campuses, Different Care Patterns
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, the two Raritan Bay campuses produce notably different post-discharge profiles. The Perth Amboy campus serves the Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Sayreville, and Carteret corridor — bilingual households are common, behavioral-health discharges are routine, and our caregivers often need bilingual-Spanish capability for elderly Perth Amboy patients. The Old Bridge campus serves the Old Bridge, Sayreville, East Brunswick, and Monroe Township 55+ corridor — orthopedic and cardiac discharges dominate, and many discharges route directly into the Rossmoor, Clearbrook, and Concordia 55+ communities.
Our caregiver bench reflects both campuses. We staff bilingual aides for Perth Amboy households and 55+-community-experienced aides for Old Bridge discharges. Sofia routes the intake based on the campus and the destination address, so the patient gets a CHHA whose background fits the home situation, not just the medical scenario.
Raritan Bay’s case management teams know our intake line and our communication pattern. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, families calling Sofia within hours of the discharge order get same-day caregiver placement; families who wait until discharge day still see the CHHA arrive within hours, but the home assessment is compressed and the medication review happens after the patient is already settled in. Earlier coordination always produces a smoother first 72 hours.
How We Coordinate With Raritan Bay’s Discharge Teams
Our registered nurse supervisor reaches out to Raritan Bay’s case management directly — at either campus. We know each campus’s discharge planning workflow. The RN reviews discharge orders, briefs the assigned CHHA, communicates with the patient’s physicians, and visits the home within 24-48 hours. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, the Old Bridge campus discharges to Monroe Township 55+ communities make up a significant portion of our southern Middlesex caseload.
