The New Jersey Firemen’s Home at 565 Lathrop Ave in Boonton Township is a truly unique 75-unit NJ-licensed (license #061419) nonprofit residential community dedicated to retired firefighters and first responders who served the state of New Jersey. Founded on a mission of honor and service, this legacy community provides a dignified home with fitness facilities, modern kitchens, and community programming tailored to residents who spent their careers protecting others. As residents age and face health challenges — including PTSD-related cognitive decline, mobility limitations from service injuries, and progressive conditions like dementia — many families discover that the community’s residential support, while excellent, needs to be supplemented with dedicated one-on-one home care. Veterans benefits and first-responder support programs may help cover in-home care costs. 24 HOUR Home Care NJ provides supplemental private aides who work within the Firemen’s Home to deliver compassionate, personalized care that honors each resident’s legacy of service.
24 HOUR Home Care NJ — a NJ Department of Health licensed agency — supplements supplemental care for New Jersey Firemen’s Home residents. From companion care in Boonton Township to 24-hour shift care, every caregiver is a NJ CHHA, background-checked, bonded, insured, and RN-supervised.
