Home care in Essex County, NJ
Care at home across Essex County
Nursing, daily personal care, companionship, live-in care and respite for older adults and their families in Essex County, New Jersey.
Essex County, with Newark as its county seat, is one of the six New Jersey counties where Tinash provides home care. Families may need care after a hospital discharge, when a parent living alone needs help with bathing or meals, or when a family caregiver needs a break.
Our care is arranged around the person: a nurse for medications and wound care, a caregiver for the daily routine, a companion for the long afternoons, or someone in the home around the clock. Every plan starts with a free care assessment.
How home care is paid: Private pay and long-term care insurance. Call us to talk through options.
