Overview of 2nd Home East Orange

At 115 Evergreen Place in East Orange, 2nd Home East Orange runs as an adult medical day program, not a residence. Jay Shain administers the center for 2nd Home East Orange LLC. The neighborhood is very walkable, with a Walk Score of 82, and the program itself keeps a defined rhythm: open Monday through Friday, five hours a day.

Care here is built around participants who have medical, nursing, social, rehabilitative, or personal needs but still live at home. A doctor is on staff, and rehabilitation services happen on-site rather than through outside referrals. Bilingual staff are part of the team, which can ease communication for families who don’t operate primarily in English.

The daily structure combines health supervision and nursing care with recreational activities and meals, and transportation is included at no separate cost. Individualized care is the organizing principle across the program rather than a one-size schedule.

The center accepts Medicaid, giving families a coverage path for ongoing use rather than treating each day as an out-of-pocket expense. For caregivers balancing work, respite, or a gradual transition toward more support, a walkable, transportation-inclusive day program with medical oversight built in addresses a specific and common gap: what happens during the hours no one can be home.
