About Old Tappan, Bergen County

Why Old Tappan Families Choose 24 HOUR Home Care NJ

Old Tappan occupies the northernmost corner of Bergen County — a quiet, affluent borough where stately homes sit on large, wooded lots along Old Tappan Road, DeWolf Road, and Westwood Avenue. With a population of approximately 6,000, Old Tappan has the feel of a semi-rural enclave despite being just 25 minutes from the George Washington Bridge and Manhattan. Many of Old Tappan’s seniors moved here decades ago for the Northern Valley Regional schools, the privacy, and Lake Tappan’s scenic beauty, and they have no plans to leave. Both Englewood Hospital and Valley Hospital are accessible within 15 to 20 minutes for acute medical care, but the daily realities of aging — managing chronic conditions, navigating stairs in multi-level homes, bathing safely, staying on top of complex medication regimens, and maintaining cognitive engagement — require ongoing professional support at home. Old Tappan’s large lots and residential privacy mean that many seniors live at a distance from neighbors, making a dedicated in-home caregiver even more critical. Our Bergen County care team provides the consistent, RN-supervised care that Old Tappan families expect: a trusted aide who arrives on time, respects the client’s routine, and delivers compassionate, licensed assistance every day.

24 HOUR Home Care NJ understands the needs of Old Tappan families. Our Bergen County care team lives and works in this community. We coordinate with Englewood Hospital (Englewood Health) / Valley Hospital (Ridgewood/Paramus) discharge planners, local physicians, and specialists to ensure seamless transitions from hospital to home. Whether your loved one needs post-surgery recovery care, ongoing dementia support, or simply a trusted companion for a few hours each week, we are here — and we can start within 24 to 48 hours.
