About CAHC

When someone you love needs home care, you are faced with many difficult decisions.

What kind of home care support does my loved one need? How can you be sure the home care provider is the right choice? During the holiday season how do I balance my family obligations?

The Commission on Accreditation for Home Care (CAHC) has been protecting the interests of home care consumers and supporting quality home care agencies since 1986. 

As New Jersey's largest and only state-based home care accreditation program, CAHC can help you answer your questions and find an accredited home care provider.

What is the difference between CAHC accredited agencies and the others?

You may find someone whose hourly rate is less than a certified homemaker-home health aide or a New Jersey licensed nurse whose agency is not accredited by CAHC. But, that can be an expensive mistake.

Without accreditation you have no guarantee of the aide’s ability, no supervision of the care, and no replacement if the aide misses a day. If the aide is injured in your home,who is liable? Not to mention you may be held responsible for employment taxes, worker’s compensation, and disability.

New Jersey has over 800 home care agencies. We accredit about 175 of them each year. Every New Jersey home care agency we accredit is monitored on an ongoing basis, must meet our performance standards, and every employee is screened. That is why CAHC accredited home care agencies are the right choice.
