Hillsborough Township

A growing community with deep family roots

Hillsborough is one of Somerset County's largest townships by area, with a mix of established neighborhoods, newer developments, and quiet rural pockets. Many Hillsborough families moved here decades ago for the space, the schools, and the small-town feel. They have stayed ever since.

For families navigating care for aging parents, that long-term rootedness shapes what good home care looks like. The goal is usually clear: keep your loved one in the home they have known, with caregivers who can adapt as needs change. That is the work Towne has been doing for NJ families since 1991.

If you are early in the process of choosing an agency, we put together a guide on how to choose the right home care agency in NJ with the full list of questions every family should ask, the regulatory standards New Jersey requires, and the red flags to walk away from.

In families' own words

What NJ families say

Towne Home Care is a dream to work with. Their aides are compassionate and skilled in providing high level home care. The front office is professional and accurate, handling billing and accounting timely. Having to engage home health care for a loved one is stressful and they make the process so easy. I have no doubt that my 90-year old dad is doing as well as he is today because of the care he gets from Towne.
