There are a variety of patients of all ages and backgrounds who may qualify for our home care services. You, your family, your care team, or your physician may identify a need for long-term care due to chronic disabilities or illnesses that affect your ability to carry out daily activities. You might have short-term care needs if you have been recently hospitalized or rehabilitated due to injury or surgery, or if you have a health issue that can be remedied with skilled care. We may also be able to provide home care services if you live in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
However, you don’t have to be sick to benefit from home care services! Perhaps you’ve noticed a consistent decline in your strength due to age or living conditions, but would like assistance in a way that maintains your independence and dignity. At Margret Ultra Home Care, our companion care services can help you conserve or improve your standard of living in your home, on your terms. Our aide companions deliver quality care with warmth and respect; it’s our utmost priority.
Obtaining home care services with our agency is easy. In most cases, a referral is not needed. All you need to do is call us at 718-815-8089 and dial our Intake team. We’ll ask some questions about your needs and get started right away on finding the perfect aide. Or, you can fill out a contact form online with your name and phone number, your physician’s name and phone number, and if you are using it, your insurance information. We’ll call to follow up and get started on the intake process.
Once we have matched the right aide, we’ll do a more thorough intake interview and have a nurse do a patient assessment to create a personalized care plan.
A Registered Nurse from Margret Ultra Home Care will conduct an in-depth assessment of your present needs, medical history, and home environment, as well as your support system. Please have the following documents and information available: medical history, current medications, advance directives (such as healthcare proxy, power of attorney, and living will), contact person(s), and physician information.
Using the information gathered from the assessment, the nurse will develop a personalized care plan that your aide will follow.
