Primary care at your kitchen table in Wayne. No clinic, no waiting room, no travel fee.
Primary care that comes to you in Wayne
Wayne is big, hilly and impossible without a car, and it has a large population of long-time residents who have aged in place in the same split-levels they raised families in.
Where Wayne goes for hospital care, and why that matters
Wayne residents mostly head to St. Joseph's Wayne Medical Center or to Chilton Medical Center in Pequannock, with the main St. Joseph's campus in Paterson taking more complex work. The township is big and hilly and the Route 23 and Route 46 junctions are slow at peak times. For an older resident who has given up driving, none of these hospitals is realistically reachable without a relative taking time off.
The homes we visit in Wayne
Split-levels and colonials on winding roads, many bought decades ago and never left, plus condominium developments and some lakeside properties. Long driveways on a slope are common, and in winter they are the reason people stop going out rather than the illness itself.
Life Primary Care is a house call practice based in East Hanover, and Wayne sits inside our regular Passaic 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 Wayne and nearby Totowa, Pompton Lakes, Little Falls, Lincoln Park and Fairfield.
People look for this under several names: a house call doctor in Wayne, 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 Wayne has just been discharged from St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson or Chilton Medical Center in Pequannock, 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.
Insurance in Wayne
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 Wayne. Call 973-607-4911 and we will check your specific plan before anything is scheduled.
