Expert Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home

Sometimes, after an illness or injury, a patient and his or her family must make a difficult decision concerning long-term care. But many people don’t realize that they have choices other than care at a skilled nursing facility. With the Metropolitan Jewish Home Care (MJHC) Long-term Care at Home program, patients can receive expert long-term care right in the comfort of their own home.

Is long-term care right for my loved one?

Long-term care is appropriate for patients who are chronically ill and could stay in a skilled nursing facility, but choose to live at home near friends and family. If your loved one needs help with eating, dressing or walking, or needs to re-learn valuable skills that contribute to quality of life, then he or she might benefit from our long-term care program.

Make long-term mean quality time

Our services may include heart and blood pressure monitoring, wound care, IV feedings, or medication administration, as well as help with speech and simple movements. We also provide care for long-term disabilities stemming from conditions such as stroke, dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
