Care, close to home

A team that knows Jersey City.

Jersey City is one of the most diverse cities in the country, and the families who call us reflect that — often caring for an elder under the same roof while juggling work and children. Much of the city's older housing means stairs, walk-ups, and tight apartments, where a steady hand with bathing, mobility, and medication is the difference between staying home and having to move. Because our Newkirk Street office sits minutes from Jersey City Medical Center, we can have a caregiver in place quickly when a client comes home after a hospital stay.

  • Locally based caregivers — no agency cycling strangers through your home
  • Carefully matched by personality, language, and skill
  • Flexible plans — a few hours a week, daily visits, or live-in

  • Do you accept Medicaid and major insurance in Jersey City?

    Yes. We bill Medicaid, work with most major carriers (including Aetna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield NJ, UnitedHealthcare, Fidelis Care, and Wellpoint), and accept private pay. Coverage shouldn't be a barrier — call and we'll find out what your plan covers.

  • What kinds of home care do you offer in Jersey City?

    All six of our core services are available in Jersey City: personal care, companion care, dementia and Alzheimer's support, respite care, post-hospital recovery, and live-in / 24-hour care. Most clients combine two or three.

  • How quickly can care start in Jersey City?

    For most non-urgent requests, we can have a caregiver matched and in the home within a few days. For post-hospital recovery, we can often start the same day or next day — call us as soon as the discharge date is set.

  • Which Jersey City neighborhoods does Hamsa cover?

    All of them — from Downtown and Hamilton Park to Journal Square, The Heights, Bergen-Lafayette, Greenville, the West Side, and McGinley Square. Because our office is on Newkirk Street near Journal Square, caregivers can reach most of the city within about fifteen minutes.

  • Can you match a Jersey City caregiver who speaks our language?

    We do our best to. Jersey City is deeply multilingual, and we try to match clients with caregivers who share their language and customs — including Spanish, Tagalog, Arabic, and Hindi/Gujarati speakers — so care feels familiar from the very first visit.
