  • A social worker provides assistance on a short-term basis, linking a resident with appropriate services. Intake for this service is provided on a daily basis and the resident's needs may be resolved during a telephone consultation. Home visits are conducted if a resident is homebound.

Health Care Management

  • Provided by on-site nurses, one from Visiting Nurse Service of New York and one from Jewish Home Lifecare, who make home visits. New York University student nurses, Pace University, and CUNY BSN candidates provide twenty-five weeks of individual health monitoring assistance to frail homebound residents.
