Visiting Nurse Services
About
A single call can coordinate care across multiple providers when a patient needs help at home in the Bronx. Visiting Nurse Services sits at 1441 Boston Road, where a range of skilled professionals deliver health support where people live. The team handles wound care, disease management, medication reminders and therapy sessions, all planned to avoid unnecessary hospital visits. Pediatric and geriatric cases receive tailored plans that match individual routines and living spaces.
Scheduling usually begins with a short assessment over the phone or in the home to identify priorities. The roster includes nurses for acute needs, therapists for mobility and speech, and aides to assist with daily tasks like bathing and meal preparation. Chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart failure are monitored closely, with vital signs tracked and alert lines open for urgent questions. Flu and pneumonia vaccines arrive seasonally, and post-surgical follow-ups ensure stitches and staples are cleaned and dressed without extra travel.
Making contact is straightforward: reach the office by one call to (718) 617-2465 and the intake team walks through next steps, from paperwork to arrival times. Referrals can come from doctors, family or even the patients themselves if they prefer self-referral. Hours vary by department, but intake remains available during standard weekday windows.
