Abstract

This article describes the evolution of a home health care program's development, focusing on the Visiting Nurse Association of Central Jersey's Cocaine-Abused Babies Program (CAB). The various components of the planning process are enumerated, including needs assessment, determination of appropriate objectives and outcomes, identification of stakeholders, and staffing needs. Examples from the agency's 5-year-old program are used to illustrate each part of the process. The CAB Project is an intensive home visiting program. Its primary objective is to enhance parenting abilities of mothers who used cocaine prenatally and to enhance and support the nurses providing intervention visits.
