Living with serious chronic conditions such as dementia, COPD, or congestive heart failure (CHF) can make accessing medical care challenging.

Chronic conditions often involve complex needs that make getting to routine medical visits difficult. Issues like mobility problems, cognitive challenges, or the need for specialized equipment can turn a simple appointment into a major ordeal. This situation also adds significant stress for family caregivers.

When health issues worsen, patients can get stuck in a cycle of emergency room (ER) visits. ERs are designed for acute crises, not the ongoing management of chronic illnesses. This can lead to fragmented care, where underlying issues like medication problems, poor nutrition, or home safety hazards are missed, resulting in repeated ER visits and hospitalizations.

We believe that proactive, patient-centered home-based primary care can help break this cycle. Our house call program sends experienced physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) to your home to provide comprehensive care tailored to your specific needs. Unlike ER visits that focus only on one problem, our team takes the time to understand you holistically – your medical history, lifestyle, and home environment – to create a personalized care plan.

• Personalized Attention: Our providers build meaningful relationships with you and your family, ensuring care aligns with your goals and preferences. We don’t just treat symptoms; we address the root causes of health challenges.
• Comprehensive Assessments: During home visits, we evaluate your living environment, checking for safety hazards like loose rugs or cluttered walkways that could lead to falls. We even look in your fridge to ensure proper nutrition, which is critical for managing conditions like CHF or COPD.
• Proactive Chronic Disease Management: By regularly monitoring your health, adjusting medications, and coordinating with specialists, we help prevent complications that lead to ER visits. For example, we can simplify diabetes regimens for dementia patients or optimize breathing treatments for those with COPD.
• Caregiver Support: We partner with family caregivers, providing education, resources, and emotional support to reduce burnout and enhance care quality at home.
• Reduced Hospitalizations: Studies show home-based primary care can significantly lower hospital readmissions and ER visits by addressing issues early, saving you stress and reducing healthcare costs.
