Quality Home-Based Care Begins with Quality Options

Patients recovering from illness, injury or surgery often require or request care at home. With Metropolitan Jewish Home Care (MJHC), patients can now receive quality health services and emotional support in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

Two home care options with one goal—
quality of life

Depending on the illness or injury, you or a loved one might need short-term or long-term home care.

Short-term care is appropriate for patients whose recovery can be measured in weeks rather than months. For example, short-term care might be beneficial for people recovering from a stroke or broken bone.

Long-term care is appropriate for patients who are chronically ill and could be admitted to a skilled nursing facility, but choose to live at home near friends and family. In this case, a patient who needs help with eating, dressing or walking, or re-learning valuable life skills could benefit from a long-term care at home program.

A dedicated team—Metropolitan, you and your family

Our skilled home care professionals work directly with your personal physician to design an individualized care plan. We see your doctor as an important member of our home care team, helping design the best path to your recovery.

This close partnership—between you, your family and health professionals—has everything to do with restoring you to your highest level of health and functioning ability.

Traditions honored, health restored

Our entire staff is trained to be sensitive to the diverse cultural needs of our community. In many cases, our specialists live in the same neighborhoods as our patients. That means they bring an awareness and understanding to your care that an outsider might not have.

MJHC brings some of the area’s most respected medical professionals right to your doorstep. But deciding which type of home-based care you or a loved one needs can be difficult. So call MJHC today at 1-800-370-8317 to learn more about our care plans and which one is right for your medical needs.
