Home care empowers patients and keeps families together. Unlike some in-patient facilities with strict visitation policies and limited patient-caregiver interactions, home care services center the patient completely, with the option of being with their loved ones. Care is personalized and tailored to the changing needs of each individual. There are health benefits as well; when home care services are provided, health risks such as infections are minimized. It also promotes continuity of care by allowing a patient’s physicians to continue to oversee their care and make recommendations as needed. In fact, national studies have shown 77% of adults 50 and older prefer to stay in their current residence for as long as possible because there is no place like home.

Patients of all ages and backgrounds may qualify for our home care services. You, your family, or your doctor may recognize a need for long-term care due to chronic illnesses or disabilities that make daily activities challenging. If you’ve recently been hospitalized or undergone surgery, you might require short-term care with skilled nursing support. Even if you reside in a nursing home or assisted living facility, our services may still be an option.

However, you don’t have to be ill to benefit from home care! If aging or living conditions have reduced your strength, but you want to maintain independence, our companion care services can help. At Margret Ultra Home Care, we prioritize your comfort and dignity, providing compassionate, high-quality care on your terms. We deliver quality care with warmth and respect; it’s our utmost priority.

Getting home care services with our agency is simple. In most cases, you don’t need a referral. Just call us at 718-815-8089 and connect with our Intake team. We’ll ask about your needs and immediately begin finding the perfect aide. Prefer online? Fill out our contact form online with your details, including your doctor’s and insurance information if applicable. We’ll follow up promptly to start the intake process.

Once we’ve matched the right aide, we’ll conduct a thorough intake interview, and a nurse will assess the patient 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, our nursing team develops a personalized care plan that your aide(s) follow.
