The right home care aide in Somerset County, NJ becomes one of the most important people in your parent’s life — the person who helps them bathe with dignity, prepares meals they enjoy, manages medications precisely, and provides the daily presence that keeps them safe and connected. At 24 HOUR Home Care NJ, every home care aide is a NJ Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) — background-checked, bonded, insured, personality-matched to your loved one, and supervised by a registered nurse who designed their care plan.

The NJ Department of Health requires specific training and certification for home health aides — including personal care techniques, vital signs, infection control, body mechanics, and patient rights. Our aides exceed these standards with additional training in dementia care, fall prevention, stroke recovery, and diabetic management. The Visiting Nurse Associations of America identifies this combination — certified aide skills plus RN oversight — as the gold standard for home-based elder care.
