In recognition of the auspicious milestone, the organization's board members, corporate sponsors, residents, staff, and others will come together to celebrate its 125th anniversary with a gala at Nanina's in the Park in Belleville on Oct. 19.
"We are proud that for 125 years, we have maintained our core values and high quality of care for our residents, who truly become family at Job Haines Home," said President and Executive Director Noreen E.

Job Haines offers assisted living, long-term nursing care, respite care and subacute rehabilitation services. Key milestones in the non-profit's long history are as follows:
- In 1894, Job Haines, a prominent Newark businessman, bequeathed a parcel of land at Clinton and Johnson Avenues in Newark to his only child, Frank. Frank Haines donated the property to the Faith Home for the Aged and Destitute in Newark.
- On Jan. 25, 1897, the Home was officially incorporated as the Job Haines Home for Aged People.
- A four-acre site at the corner of Watsessing Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue in Bloomfield was acquired in 1898 to accommodate the need for expansion; construction began in 1902 and the new Home formally opened in June of 1903.
- In 1993, plans were made for major expansion (of physical plant and services) and remodeling.
- Hearthside Commons, an assisted living residence, opened in June 2000. A skilled nursing residence with 30 beds also opened.
- In October 2009, the Pavilion, a state-of-the-art subacute rehabilitation unit, opened to meet the changing needs of its residents and the wider community.
