The Challenge of Choosing the Right Support

What to Expect During Your Free Home Care Assessment NYC
Our team conducts a home visit directly in the patient’s home or hospital room. We bring both a Registered Nurse and a Licensed Social Worker. This dual approach covers all aspects of patient care.
The Nurse and Social Worker Assessment Process
A home care assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of physical, emotional, and environmental needs to build a personalized care plan.
The Registered Nurse checks physical limitations and chronic conditions. They determine if you require skilled services like wound care or doctor-prescribed treatments. Sometimes patients require skilled care to remain safe at home.
The Licensed Social Worker evaluates emotional health and well-being. They also help families navigate care insurance policies. They explain the guidelines set by the New York State Department of Health.
Evaluating Daily Living and Mobility
We assess how much care assistance is necessary for safety. We look at activities of daily living to see where home care can help. This includes checking if the person needs help to bathe, manage hygiene, or handle toileting safely.
We also evaluate the need for mobility assistance around the house. A home health care professional notes if help is needed with meal preparation, light housekeeping, or other household tasks.
How We Build Your Customized Care Plan
We gather details from the assessment to personalize a specific plan. We match your loved one with a compassionate caregiver based on personality and needs. Your caregiver becomes a trusted part of the family.
We determine the exact type of care required. This might involve a PCA and HHA working together, or just one dedicated aide. A skilled caregiver monitors changes in health over time.
This teamwork ensures a comfortable relationship. It guarantees they receive the care they need.
