We’re accredited by the Joint Commission and licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health. Atlantic Visiting Nurse - Home Health services are available to residents of Morris, Union, Essex, Sussex, Somerset and Warren counties in New Jersey. 

Hospice 

At Atlantic Visiting Nurse, we believe that those living with advanced illnesses should spend their final days in comfort and peace. Our compassionate, specialized care is designed to minimize patient suffering and to support families and loved ones in their roles as caregivers. As one of the first hospices in New Jersey and the United States, we have more than 40 years’ experience serving private homes, nursing facilities and assisted living facilities in Essex, Morris, Somerset, and Union counties.

Our hospice team works with referring doctors to develop individualized care plans that manage pain, control symptoms, and ensure dignity and respect in the final days of life. We also have nurse liaisons at Morristown Medical Center, Overlook Medical Center, Newton Medical Center, Chilton Medical Center, and Hackettstown Medical Center, as well as other health care facilities in the area, to answer questions and ease the transition to end-of-life care.
