• Companionship & activities suited to the client’s abilities and interests
• One-on-one care in a hospital, assisted living or rehab setting as well as in homes

All our home health aides are licensed by the state of New Jersey and work under the supervision of our RNs. All employees must pass the National League of Nursing Home Health exam, provide strong references and pass a criminal background check.

We take great pride in getting the right “match” between caregiver and client. One of the goals of our interview process is to assess our employees, personalities, skills and interests to help us succeed in this. We want trust and friendship to develop between our aides and clients so that the clients look forward to our CHHA visits.

Flexible Scheduling

Our services adapt to the client’s needs. We can create a schedule customized exactly to the level of care you desire. We have no minimum time for a visit. We will do everything from 1-hour bath visits to round-the-clock care. When appropriate for the client’s needs, we offer “live-in” care as well as this is often the most cost-effective way to stay safely and comfortably in the home.

Transition of Care (TOC)

Our TOC program helps patients stay healthy and continue their recovery after discharge from hospital or a rehab facility. A ComForcare RN reviews the discharge instructions with the client, makes sure prescriptions are filled and, if needed, coordinates follow-up care with physicians and therapists. A home health aide can bring the client home from the facility & pick up groceries and prescriptions. In follow up visits the aide can help the client with bathing, ambulation, medication reminders and so on. As independence increases our service adapts, providing just the level needed to assist recovery and prevent unnecessary re-hospitalizations.

Chronic Disease Management (CDM)

Almost 100 million Americans live with chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes or COPD. Poor management of these illnesses is a major cause of “frequent flyer” patients–people who bounce in and out of the hospital multiple times a year.
Our RNs educate clients and caregivers to monitor their symptoms and head off complications before they become severe or require hospitalization.

Veterans Administration (VA) Community Care Program

We are partners of the New Jersey VA Community Care Program in our area. If a veteran qualifies for this benefit, we can provide CHHA service free of charge to the vet and we bill the VA.

Although VA Community Care program does not reimburse ComForcare for mileage charges associated with rides for the Vets to appointments. We are happy to provide rides to local appointments, doctor’s visits, pharmacies and grocery stores free of mileage charges to veterans.

Assignment of Benefits (AOB) for
Long Term Care Insurance (LTC)

We take AOB from many insurance companies with LTC policies. We provide the RN care plan, CHHA care notes and the invoice to the insurance company directly to receive payments from the insurance company. Some families prefer to receive the payments from the insurance and pay us. In this instance we still provide the RN care plan and CHHA care notes directly to the insurance company.
