Skilled nursing support for
your loved one at home.

There comes a point when a little help around the house isn’t enough anymore, when your mom or dad needs real nursing care. That’s a hard moment to face. Welcome Homecare can bring skilled nursing right into the home.

Home Home Aides & Personal Care Aides

We provide nursing support for
more involved needs at home.

Sometimes the help that worked last year just isn’t enough anymore. Maybe there are medications to keep track of now, or someone who needs closer watching than before. That’s where private duty nursing comes in. It goes a step beyond basic personal care, putting a skilled nurse in the home for the kinds of needs that require real training.

Welcome Homecare is licensed by the New York State Department of Health and accredited by the Joint Commission. We’ve cared for New York families since 2003.

"Lower hospitalization risk with skilled nursing visits A Medicare home health study found that adults who received at least 4 skilled nursing visits had significantly lower odds of hospitalization within 90 days."

O’Connor, Hanlon, Naylor, and Bowles, Research in Nursing & Health, 2015.

How to get started

Questions families ask us about
private duty nursing.

Private duty nursing is one-on-one skilled nursing care provided right in your loved one's home. Unlike a quick visit here and there, it's more focused and continuous, delivered by a licensed nurse for people whose needs go beyond everyday help. What it looks like day to day depends on your loved one's care plan and the services that have been approved.

It comes down to the kind of care being provided. A home health aide helps with daily living, things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting around the house. A private duty nurse provides skilled clinical care, based on the care plan and a physician's instructions. Put simply, aides support comfort and daily routines, while nurses handle needs that require clinical training. Many families end up needing one or the other depending on where their loved one is, and our team can help you figure out which fits.

Private duty nursing tends to make sense for people whose needs have grown more involved than basic care can cover. That often includes loved ones recovering at home after a hospital stay, people managing a chronic or complex condition, or anyone who needs closer monitoring throughout the day. It's also a good fit for families who'd rather have skilled care delivered at home than in a facility. If you're unsure whether your situation fits, the best step is simply to talk it through with our team.

In most cases, yes. We try to build care around your loved one and your family as much as possible, their daily rhythm, your preferences, and the level of support that's needed. The schedule and the details get reviewed together once we understand the full picture, so nothing feels one-size-fits-all. The first step is just a conversation.

Often, yes, but it always depends on the care plan and what's appropriate for your loved one. Medication-related support is something a nurse can provide when it's ordered and included in the plan of care. During the assessment, our team will review exactly what's needed and what a nurse can help with, so there's no guesswork.

Getting started is simpler than the worrying that usually comes before it. Call us or fill out the short request form, which takes less than 30 seconds, and a member of our team will reach out to hear what's going on and answer your questions. Together, we'll review what level of nursing support fits your loved one's needs, and once everything's in place, care can begin right at home.
