Our in home health program is designed to care for patients with specific medical needs and includes a broad array of professional and non-professional services. Working with the physician, a personal plan is designed to meet the needs of the client. The in home care team includes an intake nurse, who provides an initial evaluation of the patient. After assessing the condition and needs of the patient, a team coordinates care, monitors progress closely and makes adjustments as needed. The result is, patients are well cared for and supported throughout the healing process.

Fort Tryon Center offers LTHHCP (Long Term Home Health Care Program), also known as the Lombardi Program, is for people who are medically eligible to live in a nursing home for a long time, but prefer to live at home or with another responsible adult. Instead of going to a nursing home to get the help you need, we bring the help to your home, so you can stay there safely for as long as possible. You must be eligible for Medicaid in order to get this service. Upon enrollment, a registered nurse will manage the case help you decide what services are needed to remain safely at home as long as possible. The nurse will make sure that all of the people providing help work together to keep the resident safe and at home.
