Home care in Edison, New Jersey
Certified home health aides, live-in and companion care, skilled nursing and disability support for families across Edison Township — from an agency with its office here on Lincoln Highway.
A local agency, not a call centre
Our office is at 1 Lincoln Hwy, Suite 12 — in Edison, not a regional headquarters somewhere else. We cover the whole township, from Clara Barton and Stelton through Menlo Park Terrace, Oak Tree and North Edison.
Because the office is here, the person who schedules your aide knows the roads, the neighbourhoods and the traffic. Assessments can usually be arranged quickly, and a schedule change does not mean waiting on someone an hour away.
You are welcome to visit us in person, Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Many families prefer to sit down and go through the paperwork face to face, and we are happy to do that.
Care in the language your family speaks
Edison is one of the most diverse townships in New Jersey, and care works better when everyone understands each other. Our aides speak English, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi and Spanish.
For an older parent who is more comfortable in their first language, this changes everything — describing pain accurately, following medication instructions, or simply having someone to talk to during the day. Tell us which language you need when you call and we will match where we can.
Need a language not listed here? Ask anyway. Our caregiver network is wider than these five, and we will tell you honestly whether we can match your request.

Common questions from Edison families
How quickly can care start?
It depends on how care is being paid for. Private pay can usually begin soonest, because there is no authorisation to wait on. If you are going through a Medicaid managed care plan, the plan has to authorise hours first. Call us and we will tell you honestly what the timeline looks like for your situation.
Do you cover all of Edison?
Yes — the whole township. We also place aides in neighbouring Metuchen, Woodbridge, Piscataway, Highland Park and New Brunswick.
Do you offer live-in or overnight care in Edison?
Yes. We place live-in aides for families who need someone in the home round the clock, and companion care for someone who is mostly independent but should not be on their own for long stretches. Which one fits usually becomes clear once we talk through the day-to-day situation.
Can we request an aide who speaks our language?
Please do. Our aides most commonly speak English, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi and Spanish, and our network goes beyond those five. Tell us what you need when you call and we will tell you honestly whether we can match it.
What is the difference between an aide and a nurse?
A certified home health aide (CHHA) helps with daily living — bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, companionship. A nurse provides clinical care such as wound care and medication management under a plan of care. Many families need only an aide; some need both. We provide either.
Are your aides certified and insured?
Yes. Every aide is a Certified Home Health Aide certified by the New Jersey Board of Nursing, screened before placement and supervised by our nursing team. CarePoint is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Home Care.
