Private Duty Care

Care may be provided for as little as two hours or as much as 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

Care is provided by a licensed nurse and trained certified home health aides under her/his supervision. We are licensed by the State of New York Department of Health Services, doing business as Community Health and Home Care, Inc. Services are covered by most long term care insurance policies, Medicaid, and private pay. When a patient needs extra help or care to stay at home safely, we can help by:

• Skilled nursing
• Cooking a meal
• Giving a bath
• Helping with getting dressed
• Assistance with medication
• Keeping your loved one safe and keeping them company

How do I know what kind of care or services we need?

We'll send a registered nurse to your home to assess and discuss your situation and provide you with recommendations for services that can help meet your specific needs.
