20 Years of Story
Right at Home of Essex County is thrilled to be celebrating twenty years of service in 2024. This year has given the team at Right at Home of Essex County ample space to reflect, reminisce and celebrate memories both big and small. This journey has helped us to better understand how Right at Home of Essex County has come to be the leader in home care in our community.
The seeds for establishing Right at Home of Essex County did not begin in New Jersey but in Virginia, when Sophia Brown Scott, known for her wisdom, strength, calm, quiet demeanor, and deep love of family was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As the disease progressed it became increasingly difficult for the Scott family to provide the level of care she deserved.
Our History
Right at Home of Essex County has changed in many ways over the years to continue to provide the very best care for seniors in and around West Orange, NJ. Read about the story of our Founder, Moses Scott, all the way to where our office is today.
Celebration of 20 Years
Family is at the heart of who we are. We are a family business. For over two decades, we’ve welcomed senior citizens, caregivers, and their families to become an extended part of our family.
Our Mission
Put simply, our mission is to improve the quality of life for those we serve.

We want you to be in the driver’s seat regardless of any limitations or challenges you’re facing.
