How much does home care cost in Middlesex County?

Agencies quote by the hour, and rates depend on the hours, the level of care, weekends and overnights. Ask each agency for its hourly rate and minimum shift in writing. We do not publish agency prices.

Can we get a live-in aide?

Many agencies offer live-in care. The aide needs a private place to sleep and real breaks. Ask how the agency covers days off.

Do you accept Medicaid home care?

We help private-pay families. If your parent is on Medicaid, we point you to the right New Jersey ADRC (1-877-222-3737) contact 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 Middlesex County, in plain words

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

Middlesex has large active-adult communities in Monroe and many multigenerational households in Edison. Home care often supports a parent living with adult children while everyone works.

We serve families across Middlesex County, including Edison, Woodbridge, New Brunswick, East Brunswick, Plainsboro, Monroe and Piscataway.

How we help

We sit with you first: what a normal day looks like, which hours are hardest, language and food preferences, and your budget. Then we introduce licensed private-pay home care agencies in Middlesex County that can staff those hours, and you decide. You don't pay. There's no fee.

For an immediate need, such as a discharge this week, call (201) 686-8232.

After a hospital stay

Many families call us the week a parent leaves Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Saint Peter's University Hospital, JFK University Medical Center and Raritan Bay. Ask the discharge planner what help is needed at home and when, then tell us. We line up an agency that can start on the right day, and we check in after the first week. See hospital discharge help.

Language, culture and food

Hindi, Gujarati, Mandarin, Spanish and Korean speaking aides are commonly requested in Middlesex. Tell us what your parent speaks and eats, and we ask agencies for aides who fit.

Highland Park and Edison have observant Jewish communities that ask for kosher kitchen experience. See our page on kosher home care.

Licensed, and how to check

In New Jersey, home care agencies are registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs as health care service firms, and aides who provide hands-on care are Certified Homemaker-Home Health Aides certified by the New Jersey Board of Nursing. Ask any agency for its registration and the aide's certification.

When home care is no longer enough

If needs grow to overnight help every night, wandering, or two-person transfers, it may be time to compare a community. Read in-home care vs assisted living.
