How much does home care cost in Jersey City?

Agencies quote by the hour or, for live-in care, by the day. Rates depend on hours, nights and the level of care. Ask each agency for its rate and minimum in writing. We do not publish agency prices.

How fast can an aide start?

Often within a few days. Call as soon as you know the date you need help.

Do you accept Medicaid home care?

We help private-pay families. If your parent is on Medicaid, we give you the New Jersey ADRC number (1-877-222-3737) on the first call.

You don't pay. There's no fee. A licensed agency may pay us a referral fee after a successful private-pay start of care. We do not take a fee on Medicaid funded care.

Home care in Jersey City, in plain words

A licensed aide comes to your parent's home in Jersey City for a few hours a day, overnight, or as a live-in, to help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, errands and company.

Jersey City runs from downtown high-rises to two-family homes in the Heights, Journal Square, Greenville and West Side. Home care looks different in each: elevators and building rules downtown, stairs and street parking in the neighborhoods.

After a hospital stay

Nearby hospitals: Jersey City Medical Center and Christ Hospital. Ask the discharge planner what help is needed at home, then call us with the date. See home care after a hospital stay, and private nurse visits if there is wound care or new medications.

Language, culture and food

Requests include Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Gujarati, Tagalog and Mandarin speaking aides.

Hourly or live-in

Most families start with a few days a week. When evenings and nights get hard, live-in care is the next step. For costs, see home care cost in NJ vs NY. Many parents also hold a policy that helps, see long term care insurance for home care.
