Primary care at your kitchen table in Morristown. No clinic, no waiting room, no travel fee.
Primary care that comes to you in Morristown
Morristown has a dense mix of long-time residents in single family homes and older adults in apartments and condominiums near the Green. Parking downtown is difficult enough that skipping the trip entirely is often the whole reason families call us.
Where Morristown goes for hospital care, and why that matters
Morristown residents have a major hospital on their doorstep, which sounds like an advantage until you try to park at it. Morristown Medical Center draws specialist appointments from across the county, and the approach along Madison Avenue and around the Green is congested for much of the day. For someone who no longer drives, the trip means arranging a lift, waiting, and being collected again. A home visit removes all of it, and we still write to the specialists at the hospital afterwards.
The homes we visit in Morristown
The housing here runs from Victorian houses near the Green with steep original staircases, through post-war homes in the surrounding township, to apartments and condominiums closer to the centre. A good number of older residents have stayed in the same house for decades and have no intention of moving, which is exactly the situation home based primary care exists for.
Life Primary Care is a house call practice based in East Hanover, and Morristown sits inside our regular Morris County route. A clinician comes to your home with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. A first visit runs 45 to 60 minutes, which is time enough to examine you properly, go through every medication in the house and write a plan your family can actually follow.
We visit private homes, apartments, condominiums, family members' houses, independent living and assisted living residences in Morristown and nearby Morris Township, Convent Station, Madison and Harding.
People look for this under several names: a house call doctor in Morristown, a visiting physician, a mobile doctor, in-home medical care, or simply a doctor who comes to your house. They all describe what we do. Homebound seniors are a large part of the practice, though you do not need to be homebound to be seen.
What we handle at home
Routine primary care and annual physicals, chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure and COPD, Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, care in the days after a hospital discharge, dementia and geriatric care, and same-day urgent problems for established patients. We draw blood, run EKGs and arrange mobile imaging without you leaving the house.
After a hospital stay
If you or a relative in Morristown has just been discharged from Morristown Medical Center or Saint Clare's Denville, the first two weeks are the risky part. We can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is really in the cabinet and confirm that home health has arrived. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.

We accept Original Medicare, most Medicare Advantage plans and major commercial insurers, and we bill exactly as a clinic would. There is no charge for coming to Morristown. Call 973-607-4911 and we will check your specific plan before anything is scheduled.
