Endurance Home Care provides private-pay, daily-living concierge home care in Short Hills, New Jersey, from an office at 788 Morris Turnpike, Suite 201 standing in Short Hills itself, where an estimated 1,749 of 14,923 residents are age 65 or over.
Seventeen hundred people of retirement age inside one postal code is not one need. It is a drive that curves out of sight of the road. It is a bedroom on the second floor of a house somebody has lived in for forty years. It is a daughter who takes the morning train out of Chatham Road, calls at nine every night, and is told that everything is fine.
Care here is arranged privately and directly, with a specialisation in memory support at home. The work is daily-living throughout. Caregivers support, coordinate, remind, accompany and supervise. Anything clinical stays with the clinicians who ordered it, and it always did. What is left over is most of the day, and most of the day is what decides whether somebody keeps the house.
Short Hills is a place, not a municipality
It is worth saying without hedging, because half the confusion families have about services here begins with it. Short Hills is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place inside Millburn Township, in Essex County. There is no Short Hills town hall, no Short Hills library and no Short Hills senior department, because there is no Short Hills municipality. Every township service a resident here uses is a Millburn service, run from Millburn addresses, and the 07078 postal code is the only line most people ever see drawn around it.
What that means practically is that the township detail belongs on one page and not two. If you are looking for the community center roster, the free Senior Bus and how the township runs its senior calendar, that is set out in full under concierge home care in Millburn. This page is about the other half: the houses, the distances, and what a private caregiver is actually being asked to hold together inside them.
Our part of it is straightforward. The New Jersey office is at 788 Morris Turnpike, Suite 201, in Short Hills, which means the person who answers the phone knows which end of Old Short Hills Road you mean, and knows that a property off Hobart Avenue poses a different problem at night than an apartment near the station. Coverage runs out from here across Northern New Jersey, and neighbouring towns are served from the same desk: care for Summit families, care in Livingston, and care in Madison.
Endurance Home Care provides care at home in Connecticut and New Jersey, with companion care only in New York. Skilled nursing, home health aides and physical therapy in Connecticut are provided by Endurance Home Health.
What these houses ask for
The median age here is 41.5 and the median household income is reported at the top of the census scale, which is a statistician's way of saying these are large houses on deep lots owned by people who are not going anywhere. That is the whole brief. Nobody in this postal code is weighing up a move. They are asking how the house keeps working, and who is in it when it does not.
What fills the hours is ordinary and specific: companionship, personal care, homemaking, transportation and medication reminders. When the house cannot be empty overnight, the same schedule extends to around-the-clock and live-in care. When memory is the reason the week changed, it becomes memory care at home. Most households start with one shape, because one shape is what this week needs, then add hours as that changes.
The last hundred feet
A house set back behind its own trees is a longer walk from the car than it looks from the road, and it is unlit for most of it. Somebody walks it with them, at both ends of the day.
Stairs that were the point
The bedrooms are upstairs because that is how these houses were built, and nobody moves out of a house over a staircase if there is another answer. A caregiver is the other answer.
A household that keeps running
Meals, laundry, the dry cleaning, the deliveries at the side door, the appointments that fall on the same Tuesday. The house stays the way it was kept, because somebody is keeping it.
Discretion as part of the service
One household, one caregiver, one point of contact. Nothing about the arrangement announces itself to the street, and nobody new arrives unintroduced.
Where the township service ends and a private arrangement starts
Millburn Township runs a free Senior Bus for residents age 62 and over, and Short Hills residents are township residents, so it is theirs to use. It is a good service and nothing here is written around it. It simply has published edges, and every family eventually meets all three of them on the same afternoon.
| The township Senior Bus | A caregiver from this office | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Township residents age 62 and over, on a shared schedule. | One household, and the person in it, matched to a named caregiver. |
| When it runs | Four mornings, 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, and to noon on Thursday. | The hours you set, including the evening and the night, on a schedule written to be rewritten. |
| How far it goes | Inside township boundaries, booked before 8:15 am the day before. | Wherever the appointment is, including Livingston and Summit, arranged when you know about it. |
| Who is with the person | Passengers board and leave the bus without assistance. | An arm on the step, at the car, at the door, and in the house afterward. |
The two are not in competition, and no family should be asked to pick. A caregiver can bring somebody to a township program, wait through it, drive them home and still be there while the coat comes off. What the bus cannot do is the Tuesday evening, the trip over the township line to Livingston, or the arm on the step at either end of it.
Coming home after a hospital stay
Two of the three stops on this path are staffed around the clock by somebody else. The third is the house, and it is the one families underestimate, because it is the one that looks familiar. The drive has not changed. The staircase has not changed. What changed is the person going up it.
Transitional support covers the return home from either hospital, on hours you set rather than hours a facility sets. That usually means somebody there through the first days, then fewer hours as the week steadies. Somebody is present for the ordinary half of it: the rides, the meals, the reminders, and a household that keeps running while it happens. Anything clinical stays with the clinicians who ordered it.

The house
The same drive, the same staircase, and nobody scheduled to look in after four in the afternoon unless somebody schedules it.

Every figure on this scale comes from the same census release read for the same kind of geography, so the towns are comparable with each other. It is not a state or national ranking.
Questions families here ask
Who provides concierge home care in Short Hills, NJ?
Endurance Home Care provides private-pay, daily-living concierge home care in Short Hills from its New Jersey office at 788 Morris Turnpike, Suite 201, Short Hills, NJ 07078. It holds New Jersey License HP0435100, and its focus is memory support at home. Families reach the Client Support Line at (973) 315-5323.
Is Short Hills its own town?
No. Short Hills is an unincorporated community and census-designated place inside Millburn Township, in Essex County, so it has no separate town government, library or senior department of its own. The census counts 14,923 people here, which is most of the township. Endurance Home Care keeps its New Jersey office in Short Hills and covers the township as one service area, and the township-level detail sits on our Millburn page.
Where do Short Hills residents go for township senior services?
The Millburn Township Senior Citizens Department is reached on and publishes a temporary office at 22 East Willow Street, weekdays 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Its senior programs run at the Bauer Community Center at Taylor Park, 100 Main Street, and the Millburn Free Public Library at 200 Glen Avenue serves Short Hills from that one building. A caregiver can accompany a client to any of it and stay with them once they are home again.
Does the free township Senior Bus reach appointments outside Millburn?
No. The Senior Bus is free to township residents age 62 and over but runs inside township boundaries, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm and Thursday to noon, is reserved on between 7:00 and 8:15 am at least a day ahead, and requires passengers to board and leave the bus without assistance. Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center at 94 Old Short Hills Road in Livingston and Overlook Medical Center at 99 Beauvoir Avenue in Summit both sit outside those limits. A caregiver drives, accompanies and waits.
Where is your New Jersey office, and what licence does it hold?
