Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In New Jersey, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the New Jersey Department of Health and generally must maintain a Health Care Service Firm License. New Jersey requires licensure as a Health Care Service Firm.
