Next Step Homecare
Hospital Accompaniment in New York
Sometimes we need assistance to get a loved one to the hospital and go through the medical or surgical procedure. This is why hospital accompaniment services exist. Caregivers from Next Step Homecare can assure your loved ones safety and peace of mind.
Hospital accompaniment services provide physical and emotional support while guiding someone through the admission process. Our professional caregivers may handle more mundane cases such as taking a patient to the hospital, providing emotional support and explanations as necessary.
Hospital accompaniment services provided by Next Step Homecare also include taking you or your loved ones to and from a surgery center when you have a scheduled service. Our caregivers can respond to your call and share updates in one hour’s time.
If you live in New York or the surrounding areas, Next Step Homecare can dispatch medical accompaniment to assist you. The goal of our caregivers is to help in hospital transportation, sit with you in the waiting room, be your advocate as you seek care, help you fill out paperwork, explain any exams you’re going to receive, and take you home. We’re here to assist you during these difficult times, whether you were assaulted or fell.
Hospital accompaniment services often do what we expect family to do, taking us to the emergency room and arranging follow-up care. Unfortunately, our families may not be in the area or may not be available to provide assistance.
Don’t wait to seek medical care, and don’t run the risk of missing out on critical information because you didn’t call our team of compassionate caregivers. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having someone by your side every step of the way. We will sit with you during recovery, too.
