According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, our JSUMC protocol mirrors our MMC + Riverview protocols: (1) Sofia joins the JSUMC discharge conference by phone or in-person; (2) we receive the discharge summary, medication list, and PT/OT/SLP home program from the case manager; (3) the matched CHHA meets the family at home before the medical transport arrives; (4) the first 24 hours are supervisory-intensive; (5) Sofia checks in day-3, day-7, day-30. Same-day starts are the norm when families call us early.

Why Monmouth County Families Choose Us for 24-Hour Home Care
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Monmouth County families — especially in Red Bank, Long Branch, Neptune, Wall, Middletown, Manalapan, Freehold, Rumson, Fair Haven, and the coastal Two-River towns — consistently choose our private-pay 24-hour care over Medicaid-covered agencies because they can (a) skip the Medicaid waitlist, (b) avoid insurance prior-authorization delays, and (c) have a certified caregiver in the home within 24-48 hours of Sofia’s first call. Private long-term-care insurance reimbursement is honored after the fact. Continuity is the second reason: the same Sofia who takes the first call still tracks the care plan three months in, and the same caregiver you started with on Tuesday is the one there next Tuesday.
Our discharge partnerships in Neptune cover Jersey Shore University Medical Center (Hackensack Meridian Health), plus Riverview Medical Center (Red Bank · Hackensack Meridian), Monmouth Medical Center (Long Branch · RWJBH), Jersey Shore University Medical Center (Neptune · Hackensack Meridian · Level 2 Trauma), Bayshore Medical Center (Holmdel · Hackensack Meridian), and Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Sofia’s protocol matches your parent’s actual clinical hand-off — not a generic intake form.
Frequently Asked Questions — Sofia RN Answers
Do you accept Medicaid or Medicare in Neptune?
No. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, we are private-pay and private long-term-care insurance only. Families needing Medicaid-covered home care should call New Jersey Division of Aging Services at 1-877-222-3737. We provide zero-waitlist care to every family that chooses private pay in Neptune and across Monmouth County — no minimum hours.
Are your Neptune caregivers certified?
Yes. Every caregiver 24 Hour Home Care NJ places in Neptune is a Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) registered with the New Jersey Board of Nursing, background-checked, bonded, and insured. We do not place uncertified companions — even our companion-care role requires an active CHHA license and hands-on skill verification.
Will Sofia personally walk us through the care plan?
Yes. Sofia Elmer takes the first call personally, walks every Neptune family through the care assessment, and matches the specific caregiver to the specific parent. She is reachable directly at (908) 912-6342 Monday-Friday 8 AM to 8 PM ET, and after-hours for hospital-discharge emergencies — no answering-service tier, no callback delay.
Can care start the day my parent leaves Jersey Shore University Medical Center?
Yes. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, when families call us before the Jersey Shore University Medical Center (1945 NJ-33 · Neptune · Hackensack Meridian) discharge paperwork is finalized, we coordinate directly with the Meridian discharge planner and place the caregiver on the day the parent goes home. Same-day JSUMC-to-home starts are typical for Neptune, Wall, Belmar, Spring Lake, Manasquan, Sea Girt, Asbury Park, and Ocean Grove addresses.
Does JSUMC’s Level 2 trauma status change how you coordinate care?
Yes. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, JSUMC’s Level 2 trauma designation means our post-trauma placements are usually more clinically complex — motor-vehicle collision recovery, multi-system trauma, complex fracture management with weight-bearing precautions. Sofia’s assessment picks a CHHA whose skill set matches. We also coordinate hand-offs with JSUMC’s inpatient rehab unit and Kessler when applicable.
