Wayne Township

A suburban community that values staying home

Wayne is one of Passaic County's largest townships, spread across more than 25 square miles of suburban neighborhoods, parks, and quiet residential streets. Families here often have deep roots, with adult children and grandchildren living nearby and aging parents who want to stay in the homes they raised their families in.

Home care makes that possible. Whether it is a few hours a week of help with daily tasks, full live-in support after a hospital stay, or specialized memory care for a parent with dementia, the right caregiver can extend independence for years. 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.

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.
