Disease management education
Living with heart failure, COPD, diabetes, high blood pressure or after a stroke: daily checks, diet, warning signs and when to call the doctor.
Home health aide & caregiver training
We teach family caregivers and the aide you already have the patient's routine: safe transfers, bathing, skin checks, and what to report. Need an aide? We help you find a licensed home care agency.
Hands-on training
Tubes, drains and devices — learn to handle them with confidence

Coming back from the hospital
The first days home are the hardest. We make them simpler.
Book a visit for the day of discharge or the day after. The nurse goes through everything the hospital sent home with you and teaches your family what to do.
- Read the discharge papers together and make a clear plan
- Compare new and old medications, and flag anything to ask the doctor about
- Go over the equipment and supplies, and teach the new care routine
- Walk through the home together and point out fall risks
- Help you keep track of follow-up appointments and know the warning signs
Hospital, rehab & nursing home visits
We also meet you in the hospital, rehab center or nursing home
When your loved one is in a hospital, a rehabilitation center or a long-term care facility (nursing home), we come to the bedside to help the patient and family understand the services being provided.
- Review the care plan and the services your loved one is receiving, and explain them in plain English or Russian
- Explain the diagnosis, medications, equipment and therapy in simple words
- Help you prepare questions for the doctors, nurses and social worker, and for care-plan meetings
- Get the family ready for discharge: what to expect and what to learn before coming home
These visits are education only. All care is provided by the facility's own staff; we do not give care, change treatment or speak for the facility. We visit as the patient's guest under the facility's visitor rules, and we review medical records only with the patient's (or their legal representative's) written permission.

Family far away?
We check on your loved one — and send you a full report
If you live far away, or simply can't get there this week, a registered nurse can visit your loved one at home, in the hospital, rehab or a nursing home, and tell you honestly how they are doing and what can be done.
- A nurse's visit: we talk with your loved one and their caregivers, see how they are eating, moving and managing their medications, and look over the home for safety
- A full written report by email after the visit: how your loved one is doing, what we noticed, and what can be done next
- Practical next steps: questions for the doctor, teaching for the caregivers, and equipment and services worth asking about
- Join by video or phone during the visit if you like — and we go over the report with you by phone
With your loved one's permission (or their legal representative's), we share what we observe with the family members they name. The report is a nurse's observations and suggestions — not a medical diagnosis or treatment; please share it with their doctor. If we see something urgent, we call 911 and let you know right away.
