Why Hillside Families Choose 24 HOUR Home Care NJ
Hillside is a diverse, multigenerational township that straddles the Union-Essex county line, giving residents access to healthcare systems in both counties. Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth is the closest acute care hospital, while Newark Beth Israel Medical Center — one of New Jersey’s premier cardiac and transplant centers — is just across the Newark border. Hillside Senior Housing provides affordable residences for older adults, and the Community Center runs active senior programming. But many Hillside seniors live independently in the single-family homes and two-family houses along Liberty Avenue, Salem Avenue, and the residential blocks near Conant Park. These residents want to age in place with dignity, and professional home care makes that possible — whether they need help recovering from a hospital stay, managing diabetes or heart disease, navigating progressive dementia, or simply having a trusted companion for daily activities and errands.
