Heart Failure care at home in Union County

Managing heart failure without the trips to an office

We cover Union County from the Summit and Westfield area through Cranford and Scotch Plains down to Elizabeth and Linden.

A clinician comes to your home anywhere in Union 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 Union County, this is that service.

Catching a flare early

We set up daily weights, agree the number that triggers a call, and make sure somebody is actually recording them. Between visits our line takes those numbers, and a steady climb gets a same-day response rather than a wait for the next appointment.

At visits we listen to the chest, look at ankles and neck veins, check the blood pressure sitting and standing, and ask about the pillow count at night, which tells us more than most tests.

Medication that is easy to get wrong

Heart failure regimens are complex and the doses matter. We reconcile everything, watch kidney function and potassium when diuretics or newer heart failure drugs are adjusted, and stop the medications that are working against the heart.

After a hospital stay in Union

If you have recently been discharged from Overlook Medical Center in Summit or Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, 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.
