Serving Somerset and Morris counties since 1904, the Visiting Nurse Association of Somerset Hills is a charitable tax exempt organization. A United Way member agency, the VNA of Somerset Hills provides home health care, hospice care, community health services and adult day services. Our Home Health Services and Hospice divisions are certified by Medicare, licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services and accredited by the Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP). 

CHAP is an independent, non-profit accrediting body. It was the first accrediting body for community-based health care organizations in the United States and was created in 1965 as a joint venture between the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the National League for Nursing (NLN). These organizations brought to fruition the futuristic view that accreditation was the needed mechanism for recognizing excellence in community health practice.

CHAP was granted “deeming authority” by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 1992 for home health and in 1999, for hospice. This means that instead of state surveys, CHAP has regulatory authorization to survey agencies providing home health and hospice services, to determine whether they meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation (COPs).
