About The Team

Home Care

With more than 100 years of experience, Atlantic Visiting Nurse provides high-quality nursing and rehabilitation services in the comfort of your own home. If you and your physician feel that you would benefit from home care – whether to prevent or postpone a hospitalization, or to help with recovery after a hospital stay – our team of nurses and rehabilitation experts can develop an individualized plan of care to meet your needs. We’re accredited by the Joint Commission and licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. Atlantic Visiting Nurse - Home Health services are available to residents of Morris, Union, Essex, Sussex, Somerset and Warren counties in New Jersey.

Hospice

At Atlantic Visiting Nurse, we believe that those living with advanced illnesses should spend their final days in comfort and peace. Our compassionate, specialized care is designed to minimize patient suffering and to support families and loved ones in their roles as caregivers. As one of the first hospices in New Jersey and the United States, we have more than 40 years’ experience serving private homes, nursing facilities and assisted living facilities in Essex, Morris, Somerset, and Union counties. When patients and their primary care physicians agree that curative treatment is no longer appropriate or desired, a referral to Atlantic Hospice may be appropriate. Our hospice team works with referring doctors to develop individualized care plans that manage pain, control symptoms, and ensure dignity and respect in the final days of life. We also have nurse liaisons at Morristown Medical Center, Overlook Medical Center, Newton Medical Center, Chilton Medical Center, and Hackettstown Medical Center, as well as other health care facilities in the area, to answer questions and ease the transition to end-of-life care.
