The 24-Hour Care Handoff · RWJUH Discharge Day
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, our RWJUH handoff protocol is: (1) Sofia joins the RWJUH discharge conference by phone or in-person; (2) we receive the discharge summary, medication list, and PT/OT/SLP home program directly 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 — room walkthrough, med reconciliation, PT program setup, fall-risk audit; (5) Sofia checks in day-3, day-7, day-30 to adjust the plan. RWJUH’s academic-medical-center complexity often means our matched CHHA has advanced skill verification for the specific care need.

Why Middlesex County Families Choose Us for 24-Hour Home Care
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Middlesex County families — especially in New Brunswick, Edison, Woodbridge, Piscataway, East Brunswick, Old Bridge, South Brunswick, Monroe Township, Plainsboro, Perth Amboy, Sayreville, Metuchen, Highland Park, and North Brunswick — 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.
