About East Orange, Essex County

Why East Orange Families Choose 24 HOUR Home Care NJ

East Orange is a resilient, diverse community of approximately 65,000 residents, including a significant population of aging veterans and seniors living independently in apartments and single-family homes. The East Orange VA Medical Center is a critical healthcare anchor, providing medical and long-term care services for veterans — but when veterans and their spouses return home, daily assistance with bathing, medications, meals, and mobility often determines whether they can remain safely at home. Many East Orange seniors also qualify for NJ FamilyCare, Medicaid waiver programs, or VA Aid and Attendance benefits. Our care coordinators help families navigate these programs alongside flexible private-pay options. Culturally competent caregiving matters here — our aides reflect the diversity of East Orange.

24 HOUR Home Care NJ understands the needs of East Orange families. Our Essex County care team lives and works in this community.
