Home care in Morris Township

Morris Township and the Town of Morristown are separate municipalities, and the addresses overlap. The township's municipal building is at 50 Woodland Avenue with a Morristown, NJ 07960 street address, and its mailing address is in Convent Station, 07961. The two share one library, the Morristown & Morris Township Library at 1 Miller Road.

For care it makes no difference, because we serve both from Short Hills. It matters when you look up programs for your mother, since the township's own are listed under Morris Township and much of the rest comes from Morris County.

Morris County's directory of senior centers doesn't list one in Morris Township; it lists centers in nearby towns such as Morristown and Florham Park. The township's Senior Club, for residents 60 and over, meets at Newbridge Church, 57 Kahdena Road, at 1 PM on the first Tuesday of most months, with day trips, a May Gala and a holiday party. Applications go to Parks & Recreation at 50 Woodland Avenue.

Morris County's MAPS gives curb-to-curb shared rides to residents 60 and over for medical trips, social services and grocery shopping. Home Delivered Meals brings five meals a week, at no cost with a suggested donation of $2.00 per meal, for county residents who are at least 60 and disabled, homebound, and not always physically able to shop, cook or feed themselves, and Libraries by Mail delivers library books free to residents who can't get to their library. A caregiver adds what curb-to-curb leaves out: help to the door and inside, company at the appointment, and the rest of the day at home.
