When Public Resources Aren’t Enough: Private Home Care

County senior services programs are invaluable — but they rarely provide the consistent, daily personal care that families need when a loved one has dementia, mobility limitations, or complex health needs. Public programs often have waiting lists, limited hours, and eligibility restrictions. Private home care fills these gaps immediately, with no waiting lists and no eligibility requirements beyond the ability to pay. Private-pay home care from 24 HOUR Home Care NJ is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in every NJ county we serve. Long-term care insurance is accepted. Call (908) 912-6342 for a free in-home assessment — we can start within 24 to 48 hours.

We serve families throughout New Jersey: Union County, Essex County, Morris County, Middlesex County, Bergen County, Somerset County, Monmouth County, Ocean County, Mercer County, Passaic County, and Hunterdon County.
