1 Comprehensive Home Care Services ONE CALL. HOME CARE FOR LIFE.

2 Safe in the comfort of home There s a distinct sense of reassurance and normalcy associated with being at home. For more than a century, Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) has been making the goal of returning home safely or remaining in the comfort of home a reality for individuals with challenges related to serious illnesses, injuries, disabilities or advanced age. Today s dedicated VNA nurses are carrying on our distinguished tradition of caring. We provide: Nursing Care Certified Home Health Aides Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy Speech and Language Pathology Hospice and Palliative Care Private Care Services Registered Dieticians Telehealth Medical Social Worker Caregiver Education and Support Adult Day Care at VNA Friendship House House Call Groceries for Seniors Respite Care Wound Management Volunteers

3 Comprehensive home care solutions What began with a single nurse, Anna B. Hillock, setting out on a bicycle in 1898 to deliver home care to her neighbors, is now one of the state s leading providers serving clients in more than 40 communities each day. Along the way, VNA has also greatly expanded its scope of services and embraced advances in medicine and technology. Today, residents of Morris and Hunterdon counties know that one call to VNA opens the door to quality, patient-centered home health care delivered by dedicated, supportive professionals. We serve the homebound, as well as family members who often function as their primary caregivers. When you select VNA as your home health care provider, you are choosing: One of the top providers in the state based upon patient outcomes. An agency that consistently earns nearly perfect ratings in independent client satisfaction surveys. A highly respected organization with a long, distinguished history as leader and innovator in the field of home health care.

4 A trusted source Unsolicited testimonial letters are just one of many ways we receive feedback from our clients and their loved ones. Here are excerpts from just a few: VNA care was integral to my mother s ability to avoid a nursing home. Your Friendship House staff and social workers guided us through an emotional and confusing time and recommended the hospice program in the last months of her life. Hospice nurses then provided gentle care and support. If all of your nurses are as good as Daureen, you have a truly amazing staff. We could not be more pleased with the care she provides. I commend your outstanding physical therapy program. My therapy was comprehensive and effective and my therapist, Candace, performed her work with compassion, warmth and a sense of humor. She has significantly improved my ability to function on a daily basis. We help our clients enjoy their optimum level of independence and best possible quality-of-life.

5 VNA is skilled at providing temporary, short-term and ongoing, longterm care. We re at home providing care We are changing the course of lives each day: When Vikki (cover photo) first met her VNA nurse, her greatest fear was being confined in a nursing home. With the assistance of VNA professionals, Vikki was able to live independently. Ron and his mother, Nancy, (far left photo) reached out to VNA Hospice to care for his declining father. After his father s death, VNA reached out to comfort the family on the loss of a beloved member of the family. Once a caregiver for her late husband, Frances (center photo) turned to VNA when her own health began to decline. Thanks to VNA, Frances is able to feel secure in her home and cook her favorite recipes. One call for all of your needs VNA s next remarkable client story could be your own. There truly is no place like home and we ll meet you there with home care solutions whenever you or a loved one require our assistance. For further information, call us at WE VISIT.

6 VNA accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and private pay. Care is provided to residents with financial hardships through the efforts of the VNA Foundation. Visiting Nurse Association of Northern New Jersey (VNA) is a nonprofit organization with a distinguished history that spans more than a century. VNA provides skilled nursing services, physical and occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, certified home health aides, hospice and palliative care, dietitian and medical social worker services, caregiver support programs, private care services and Friendship House, a social adult day care program.
