Support That Makes Aging at Home Possible
Moving your loved one out of the house they've lived in for years can feel overwhelming. With home care, they can remain in familiar surroundings, keep their routines, and hold onto the independence that matters so much to them.
Here's how we make aging in place safer and more comfortable with in-home support:
- Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and daily routines
- Meal preparation and encouragement to eat and stay hydrated
- Assistance with walking, transfers, and fall prevention
- Friendly companionship and meaningful conversation
- Medication reminders based on your family's instructions
- Evening, overnight, or around-the-clock supervision
- Ongoing care adjustments as needs change
In addition to Bridgewater, we also care for older adults in nearby communities including home care in Somerville, Hillsborough, Martinsville, and Bound Brook.

Bridgewater Senior Living Communities, Hospitals & Neighborhoods We Serve
Home care in Bridgewater starts with knowing the senior-living ecosystem that anchors this corner of Somerset County. Our care managers and caregivers have spent more than a decade inside Bridgewater's assisted-living and 55+ communities, alongside the families who use Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset as their primary acute-care home.
Senior Living & 55+ Communities We Serve
Bridgewater has the deepest concentration of senior-living options in Somerset County. We routinely place private-duty caregivers inside each of these communities — supplementing assisted-living staff with one-on-one private care when a resident needs more attention than the community baseline:
- Sunrise of Bridgewater (390 US-22) — assisted living and memory care, close to Bridgewater Commons and minutes from RWJ Somerset.
- Mira Vie at Bridgewater (680 Route 202/206 N) — assisted living, memory support, and respite care set in lush forest off Route 202, formerly Mira Vie Green Knoll.
- The Chelsea at Bridgewater — assisted living in a peaceful wooded setting in Somerset County.
- Laurel Circle (100 Monroe Street) — continuing care retirement community with independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing on one campus.
- The Delaney of Bridgewater — rental retirement community offering independent and assisted living with no entry fee.
- Bridgeway Care & Rehabilitation Center (270 Route 28) — 148-bed skilled nursing and sub-acute rehab facility, family-owned since 1981 and rated by Newsweek among New Jersey's top nursing homes.
- Bridgewater Senior Citizens Center (876 E. Main St) — township senior center offering lunches, classes, and programming. Many of our hourly-care clients begin their day here before a caregiver picks them up.
Hospitals & Medical Programs We Coordinate With
- Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset — 110 Rehill Avenue, Somerville. A 355-bed regional medical center 5 minutes from Bridgewater, with designated Centers of Excellence in cardiovascular care, cancer, stroke, and joint replacement. The Magnet Award for Nursing Excellence sets the standard for the region. We support hospital-to-home transitions from RWJ Somerset emergency, surgical, cardiology, and rehabilitation stays daily.
- RWJ Outpatient at TD Bank Park — 1 Patriots Park, Bridgewater 08807. Imaging, lab, and outpatient services in town.
- RWJ Somerset Stroke Center — designated stroke center, which means stroke survivors from Bridgewater go here first. We pair the RWJ home-health discharge plan with private-duty stroke recovery home care the same day the family asks.
- RWJUH New Brunswick and Saint Peter's University Hospital — tertiary-care options many Bridgewater families use for higher-acuity needs (transplant, complex cardiac, neonatal).
- Hunterdon Medical Center — for Bridgewater families with loved ones in western parts of the franchise area (Flemington, Clinton).
- Penn Medicine Princeton Bridgewater offices (1 Patriots Park, Building TD Bank Park) — outpatient specialty care in town. We coordinate with Penn Medicine's neurology team for Parkinson's home care in Somerset County and progressive cognitive change.
Bridgewater Roads & Neighborhoods We Cover
From the I-287 / US-22 / Route 202-206 interchange that anchors the township geographically, to the Bridgewater Commons mall corridor, the Martinsville section to the south, the Finderne and Green Knoll neighborhoods, and the riverside areas around Duke Island Park and Washington Valley Park — we provide same-day home care across all of Bridgewater 08807. We're minutes from the TD Bank Ballpark on Patriots Park and the Branchburg Sports Complex. Many of our Bridgewater families also have loved ones in Somerville, Hillsborough, Martinsville, and Bound Brook.

From the Bridgewater commercial corridor and Somerville county seat to the rural farmhouse towns of Tewksbury, Readington, and Pottersville, we provide home care across every zip in the franchise area.

Things Families Want to Know Before Starting Care
How do I know if my loved one needs home care?
If your loved one struggles with frequent falls, missed medications, trouble preparing meals, memory loss, or loneliness, they may benefit from in-home support. During your consultation, we talk through their needs and recommend the right level of care.
Do you support discharges from RWJ Somerset?
Yes — RWJ Somerset discharges are a regular part of our Bridgewater work. We can start same-day after a hospital, sub-acute rehab, or stroke-unit discharge. We coordinate with the discharge planner, the home-health agency, and the family to make sure the first 48 hours home are safe.
How will you match my loved one with a caregiver?
We consider personality, daily routines, care needs, and scheduling preferences to create a strong match, not just fill a shift.
What if our caregiver is unavailable?
Our team stays on call 24/7 and arranges backup coverage quickly if a caregiver can't make it. You won't be left scrambling to find help at the last minute.
How much does home care cost?
Costs vary based on the type and frequency of care, but we keep billing simple: no deposits, no long-term contracts, and payment is due only after services are provided.
Care Starts with a Conversation. Let's Talk About Your Options.
