We are proud to support home health and hospice agencies and health care service firms serving and operating in New Jersey.

As a member, your agency gains year-round access to weekly update calls, expert guidance, advocacy, education, and a network of peers who understand the realities of home care and hospice. Membership is organization-wide, so leaders and staff across departments can plug in where it helps them most. Together, we work to protect and strengthen home-based care across our state.

Stay ahead of regulations and payer changes

Weekly member update calls, regulatory workgroups, and timely alerts help your agency anticipate and respond to new requirements—instead of scrambling after the fact.

Tap into home care and hospice experts

Gain access to leading consultants and subject-matter experts who understand New Jersey’s landscape, and get practical advice you can apply immediately in your operations.

Strengthen your voice with policymakers

Through action committees, focused workgroups, and the Home Care Caucus, members help shape our advocacy agenda and inform the positions we take with state and federal decision-makers.

Support your whole team—not just one contact

Membership is agency-based, so clinical leaders, compliance, finance, HR, and operations staff can all participate in calls, committees, and trainings and receive member communications.
