Understanding Heart Disease

What families in Morris County need to know

Heart disease covers coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and post-cardiac-event recovery. Older adults with heart disease benefit substantially from at-home support that manages daily medication complexity, dietary restrictions, and activity limits.

Morris County is affluent central NJ suburbs — Morristown, Madison, Chatham, Chester — anchored by Atlantic Health's flagship Morristown Medical Center. For heart disease care specifically, Morris County families benefit from proximity to Morristown Medical Center, which serves as the county's primary acute-care and discharge-coordination anchor.

Post-hospital discharge coordination: When a Morris County senior is discharged after a heart disease-related admission, private-pay home care can typically start within 24-48 hours. Morristown Medical Center's case management team works directly with local premium home care providers to arrange coverage before the person arrives home.

Care intensity in Morris County: Care intensity ranges from 4-8 hours/day for stable outpatients to 24-hour coverage for the first 4 weeks after a cardiac hospitalization or ventricular device placement.
