We had a blast recognizing CHHAs at last week's Certified Home Health Aide Recognition Day! BIG thanks to all who donated toward the raffles, especially our industry sponsors Enterprise, who helped focus the spotlight on our unsung home health heroes.

To CHHAs: Your compassion is the reason thousands of New Jerseyans are able to live comfortably and sustainably, at home, with their families and pets, their favorite foods and pairs of slippers. We are honored to celebrate your daily dedication and altruism ✨ and look forward to showing our continued appreciation!

When asked what matters most in their day, patients often respond that it’s being able to shower and get dressed.

"They’ll say they love the nurses and the therapists and need the skilled care—but without the aides, they simply wouldn’t have been able to do it.”

Read how we're recognizing Certified Home Health Aides with a special day of awards, raffle prizes, and camaraderie! 🏠💚

Home Health Aide Recognition Day is part of the association’s ongoing commitment to elevating and supporting New Jersey’s direct care workforce.

Proposed regulations for the Bill of Rights (DWBR) could add burdensome measures for Certified Home Health Aides employed by already-regulated home health agencies.

HCHANJ has written to the NJDOL asking for clarification around the proposed regulations and ensuring the implementation of DWBR does not undermine the efficient delivery of essential services.

We strongly urge all NJ agencies to submit comments of your own before the NOV 1 deadline! Our comment letter and a suggested template are in the member library for your review (you will be prompted to log in): bit.ly/NJ-DWBR-Comments

Thank you for participating in this effort that will affect all licensed home health agencies who employ CHHAs.

Big thank you to LifeStation for hosting our NJ Hospice Community Forum!

We were joined by staff from 25 organizations representing the full scope of hospice care — clinical and nursing leaders, executives, social workers, bereavement and spiritual care providers, operations and compliance professionals, community liaisons, and intake coordinators.

In hospice, it seems, there’s no such thing as “competition.” Across the board, everyone’s focus remains the same: providing the best possible care for patients and families.

Inspiring to see so many dedicated professionals come together to share ideas and strengthen our statewide network. We look forward to continuing these conversations and hosting more gatherings like this in the future.

Medicare home health care remains vulnerable to CMS' proposed payment cuts. Fortunately, Representatives Hern (R-OK) and Sewell (D-AL) have introduced a bipartisan bill to halt the harmful cuts for two years, ensuring fair updates to payment rates. To achieve success:

➡️ We must urge members of Congress to support the Home Health Stabilization Act of 2025 (H.R. 5142).
➡️ We also need legislators to co-sign Rep. Torres' letter to the White House, which calls for CMS to immediately reconsider the cuts and protect care access for America's most vulnerable citizens.
