Arthritis and Mobility care at home in Essex County

Managing arthritis and mobility without the trips to an office

Essex County is a short drive east for us, and we cover it from the Oranges and Montclair through to Livingston, Millburn and the Caldwells.

A clinician comes to your home anywhere in Essex County with a portable exam kit and your chart already open. Visits run 45 to 60 minutes, which is the time it takes to examine you properly, review every medication in the house and write a plan your family can follow. Whether you are looking for a house call doctor, a visiting physician or in-home medical care for a senior parent in Essex County, this is that service.

Pain control that does not cost you something else

The easy answers cause the real harm here. Anti-inflammatories are hard on kidneys and stomachs in older adults, and opioids sedate and cause falls. We work through the safer ground first: topical treatments, paracetamol used properly, heat, activity, weight, and referral for physical therapy at home.

Seeing the problem where it happens

A knee assessed on an exam couch tells you about the knee. Watching someone rise from their own armchair, turn on their own stairs and manage their own bathroom tells you what the knee actually means. That is the assessment worth doing.

After a hospital stay in Essex

If you have recently been discharged from Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston or Mountainside Medical Center in Montclair, we can usually visit within two to three days to reconcile the discharge medication list against what is actually in the house. We are independent and not affiliated with any hospital system.
