Care that respects a community of individuals

Montclair is one of Essex County's most distinctive communities, a walkable township known for its arts, its architecture, and a population that values independence and individuality at every age. Many Montclair families have aging parents who want to stay in the homes and neighborhoods that reflect who they are.

That spirit shapes what good home care looks like in Montclair. The right caregiver supports a loved one's independence rather than taking it over, working around their routines and respecting their preferences. Whether it is a few hours of help, full live-in support, or specialized memory care, the goal is to keep them living life on their own terms. 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.
