Our offerings include:

• Using technology such as customized, large-screen computers placed in the patient's home, which allows seniors to communicate with loved ones and with the Care at Home NJ staff via video conferencing, also known as Skype visits;
• A comprehensive online Resource Guide which lists medical, social, community and governmental services, including those providers who make house calls to the homebound elderly;
• The Caregiver Support Group, held on the second Thursday of each month at Vanguard Medical Group in the Verona office, offered in both an afternoon and evening session;
