According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Valley Hospital moved from its longtime Ridgewood campus to a brand-new state-of-the-art facility at 4 Valley Health Plaza, Paramus in 2024. When your parent is discharged from Valley’s new Paramus campus, Sofia coordinates the 24-hour home-care handoff directly with the Valley Health System discharge team so the transition is one conversation with the family, not a dozen.
Valley Hospital · Paramus NJ · 4 Valley Health Plaza (new 2024 campus)
Valley Hospital at 4 Valley Health Plaza, Paramus is part of Valley Health System — comprehensive stroke center, cardiac surgery, oncology, orthopedic surgery, and one of Bergen County’s largest inpatient rehabilitation programs. The 2024 move from Ridgewood to Paramus expanded Valley’s inpatient capacity and rehab bed count. According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Valley is our #1 discharge partner in western Bergen County — Ridgewood, Paramus, Wyckoff, Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Ho-Ho-Kus, Midland Park, Waldwick, Franklin Lakes, and the Pascack Valley. Same-day starts are typical when families call us before the discharge paperwork is finalized.
Common Valley Hospital-to-Home Diagnoses We Cover
- Stroke recovery — Valley comprehensive stroke certification · post-stroke 24-hour supervision at home in Ridgewood, Wyckoff, or Fair Lawn
- Cardiac surgery discharge — post-CABG, valve replacement, cardiac cath complications
- Orthopedic post-op — total hip, total knee, hip-fracture recovery · Valley’s Center for Robotic Surgery
- Oncology discharge — post-chemo hospitalization, palliative-care transitions
- Inpatient rehab discharge — Valley’s expanded rehab beds mean more parents go directly from Valley rehab to 24-hour home care instead of extending inpatient
- Complex multi-condition geriatric hospitalizations — falls, delirium, cognitive change, medication reconciliation
The 24-Hour Care Handoff · Valley Hospital Discharge Day
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, our Valley protocol is: (1) Sofia joins the Valley 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; (5) Sofia checks in day-3, day-7, day-30. The 2024 Paramus campus move did not change the coordination — the discharge planners, case managers, and physicians are the same Valley Health System team.

Why Bergen County Families Choose Us for 24-Hour Home Care
According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, Bergen County families — especially in Hackensack, Englewood, Ridgewood, Paramus, Teaneck, Fort Lee, Tenafly, Cresskill, Closter, Fair Lawn, Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, and the Northern Valley 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 Paramus + Ridgewood cover Valley Hospital (Valley Health System), plus Hackensack University Medical Center (Level 1 Trauma · NJ’s largest hospital), Englewood Health (independent comprehensive stroke center), Valley Hospital (new Paramus campus 2024), Holy Name Medical Center (Teaneck · oncology), Bergen New Bridge Medical Center (Paramus · long-term care), and Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. Sofia’s protocol matches your parent’s actual clinical hand-off — not a generic intake form.
