Is Home Care Right for Me?

Home healthcare is individualized care provided by nurses, therapists, or other skilled providers in the comfort of a patient’s own home. Patients can recover faster, surrounded by family and friends, under the continuing supervision of a physician. When a physician decides it's better for a patient to be in his or her own home during recovery, it’s time for home healthcare.

Anyone who is under a physician’s care and requires the services of a registered nurse and/or a physical therapist on a part-time, intermittent or even long-term basis may be eligible. Prior hospitalization is not necessary to qualify for home healthcare. We provide quality care that helps to reduce the stress that you or a caregiver may experience on a day-to-day basis. We can help you decide on the type of home care that best meets your needs.

The Home Care Network coordinates numerous aspects of patient care and offers a full range of homecare services including:

  • Nursing
  • Wound and Skin Specialists
  • Physical Therapy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Speech/Language Pathology
  • Infusion Services
  • Social Work
  • Home Health Aides

If your physician or home care professional determines that you don’t require a nurse or therapist, RegionCare Nursing (a division of The Home Care Network ) can help you at home with aide services to assist with the following:

  • bathing, dressing, personal care
  • activity assistance
  • preparing meals
  • light housekeeping

If you should require a short-term hospital stay, North Shore-LIJ Staffing Services can provide private duty care at the hospital bedside.

Call The Home Care Network toll-free at (866) 651-4200
to discuss your personal home care needs.
