Right at Home of Central New Jersey
Prepares to Serve Veterans Through New Nationwide Network




East Brunswick, NJ – July 1, 2019 Right at Home of Central New Jersey located in East Brunswick will now be able to offer veterans healthcare through partnerships with network contractors and local veteran medical centers. This comes after the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ recent implementation of the largest changes to its healthcare plan for veterans in four years. These changes are a result of the passage of the VA MISSION Act, signed by President Trump in June 2018. The plan’s changes include criteria for determining when a veteran can see a non-VA medical provider and the establishment of a new network of providers that is being built by private insurers. The VA believes the changes will enable veterans to get the healthcare they need in a more efficient manner.

The new network consolidates different programs of care for veterans when VA medical facilities are unable to provide services. Through its subsidiaries, UnitedHealth Group was awarded the contract to administer the new network in the eastern and central United States. The contract for the western United States has not yet been awarded. Later this year, healthcare providers that desire to serve veterans will need to be in the new network.

Right at Home will provide companion and personal care services to veterans through its franchise locations in the new network throughout the eastern and central U.S. The company will pursue contracts in the western U.S. once the network is created by the VA. “Our nation is indebted to the services our veterans provided, and it is Right at Home’s distinct honor to now serve them as they choose to age in place in the comfort of their homes,” said Brian Petranick, President and CEO of Right at Home.

Providing care for veterans is important to Right at Home’s East Brunswick location, owned by Beth Sholom. Ms. Sholom and her staff are enrolled in the network to provide care to veterans. Being in-network enables the location’s caregivers to assist veterans with the activities of daily living, so the veterans can remain in their homes rather than pay more to live in a skilled nursing facility.

Right at Home of Central New Jersey recognizes the military service of these men and women who answered the call to serve their country and thanks all of our veterans who served and all of their families and loved ones who also sacrificed during their time of service.

Veterans like Vincent Burke (who served in both World War II and the Korean War) enjoyed having Right at Home of Central New Jersey’s caregivers help reduce loneliness and provide assistance and reminders about appointments and prescriptions. These services gave Mr. Burke’s family and continue to give our clients’ family members peace of mind knowing that someone is taking care of their loved one while they are at work or with their own immediate family.

Mr. Burke’s wife, Eileen, said about Right at Home of Central New Jersey:

When my husband was in a rehab center, we asked the staff to recommend home health care for him after he was discharged. They provided us with several companies and, after meeting with and learning about all of them, we made the very easy and very good decision to work with Beth Sholom at Right at Home of Central New Jersey. Her caregivers took excellent care of my husband and she delivered on every commitment she made. I would highly recommend Beth Sholom and her team of caregivers and nurses to care for yourself or your family.
