For today’s nurse, doors that lead into new career opportunities
are opening directly into the homes of patients. Home health care is
a rewarding choice to practice your profession and utilize your clinical
skills within Barnabas Health.
Considered one of the most challenging nursing specialties, home health
care provides you with the unique opportunity to deliver patient care
outside the hospital walls within a community setting.
It takes a great deal of competency, compassion and understanding to
provide care to individuals with acute illnesses, short- and long-term
conditions and disabilities in their homes.
Home health care is one of the most fulfilling career choices — both
personally and professionally — as you’ll develop unique
caregiver relationships in a flexible working environment.
Home health care through Barnabas Health is all
about making a difference in someone’s life, and being appreciated
and respected for it.
Barnabas Health offers fully accredited, Medicare-certified
home care agencies through two hospital affiliates — the JerseyCare
Home Health Program at Clara Maass Medical Center, Belleville, and the
Home Health and Van Dyke Hospice Program at Community Medical Center,
Toms River.
Because of the wide scope of services delivered through each program,
we attract nurses with experience from many clinical inpatient settings,
including medical/surgical, maternal/child, pediatrics, obstetrics,
emergency department and critical care.
As a home health care nurse, you will join an interdisciplinary team
whose focus is to return patients to their highest possible level of
independence and self-management.
Your colleagues will include clinical nurse specialists, physical,
occupational and speech therapists, medical social workers, nutritional
counselors, certified home health aides and other specialized professionals.
 Home
care nursing presents unique challenges not found in the traditional
health care environment. Our nurses possess strong assessment skills
and demonstrate a certain degree of flexibility in caring for patients
in their places of residence.
They are highly competent in performing skilled nursing care, including
wound care, medication and pain management, disease and symptom management,
as well as providing individualized education to patients and their
families.
