Hands-on teaching at home
Living with heart failure, COPD, high blood pressure or after a stroke

- After a stroke: the warning signs (BE FAST) and safe routines at home

Who it is for
People living with a long-term condition, and the families who help them stay well at home.
Before the visit
Have your scale, blood pressure cuff or other devices, your medication list and any instructions from your doctor.
How the visit works
The nurse explains each step, shows it with your own supplies, and watches and coaches you as you practice — over more than one visit if you need it — so you can feel confident doing it safely. You keep written steps in English or Russian.
Is it getting better?
The nurse also checks whether the care at home matches the doctor’s orders and whether things are improving. If not, the nurse points out what may be missing and helps you bring clear questions to the doctor. You pay us directly, not insurance — so the visit is about one thing: the patient’s progress.
Questions
Questions
Is this instead of my doctor?
No. The nurse teaches what your doctor ordered and helps you notice changes early, so you can call your doctor sooner.
Do you take insurance, Medicare or Medicaid?
No. Visits are private pay — we do not take or bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. The first visit is $100 (regular price $150), each visit after that is $150, and a 30-minute phone consultation is $50.
Will the nurse do the care for us?
No. The nurse teaches and coaches — the patient, the family or your aide does the care. We teach the care your doctor or nurse practitioner ordered, and we do not replace your doctor, home care agency, supplier or infusion pharmacy.

Our nurses teach — they do not provide hands-on nursing care, and they do not replace your doctor, home health agency, facility staff or aide. We teach the care your physician or nurse practitioner ordered. We are not a licensed home care services agency or a Medicare-certified home health agency, and we do not employ or place home health aides. In an emergency, call 911.
