What is the Long-Term Home Health Care Program at Cobble Hill?
The Cobble Hill LTHHCP is a unique program also known as “nursing home without walls.” It includes nursing care, rehabilitation therapy and other health services delivered in the comfort of home on a long-term basis. These services may include heart and blood pressure monitoring, wound care, medication administration, as well as help with speech and simple movements. The care your loved one receives is personalized and can be modified as his or her needs change.

What are the advantages of Long-Term Home Health Care?
Long-Term Home Health Care allows your loved one to remain in a comfortable, familiar place near family and friends. Chronically ill patients, who would otherwise require a skilled nursing facility, get to stay where they want—in their own home.

Will the caregiver come when it’s convenient for me and my loved one?
Care is there when needed. This includes scheduling visits when they are convenient for your loved one and your family. When care visits are scheduled, your loved one’s and your family’s needs are taken into account.

How do I know my loved one is receiving the best possible care?
