“We deliver care in people’s private homes. We’re kind of like the invisible care provider,” she said. “We see any change of condition and we can monitor and we can keep people safe.”
Hebert said families might begin seeking out additional home care options and maintaining independent living at home following reports of how coronavirus spread widely in nursing homes and other facilities. According to data collected by NBC News, at least one-third of thein the United States are linked to nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.
Some families have been refusing home visits from a nurse or therapist because of those fears, he said, so it was critical for providers to communicate protocols and ensure the safety of their patients.“That home health nurse needs to find the way to build trust and confidence with the patient and their family,” he said. “If that nurse can help to manage the person’s chronic illness well, then it keeps them out of the hospital or an urgent care center or the emergency department.
Noyes said in New York City, home care providers have long employed telehealth monitoring and a range of telecommunication systems that have been important in keeping patients safe during a pandemic.for full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak

MSNBC In the city of 300,000, our hospitals here are almost empty from virus patients almost empty
MSNBC NBC & MSNBC continuing to promote this information and fake news. We all know the hospitals are near empty!
Irresponsible and dangerous media
MSNBC “With hospitals filling up with coronavirus patients, experts said the pandemic has highlighted the increased need and importance of care in the home.” Interpretation: Be sure to let outside.
What are you talking about? The hospitals are going out of business because they are empty! (Other than three states in the northeast!) Objective journalism is lost!
MSNBC NBCFakeNews
MSNBC The need for ordering stay at home and enforcing it, is what we need. Not determined by a bunch of jackasses that believe the government is violating their rights. Let the dumb people die.
Excuse me, but what Hospitals are ‘filling up’ with Wuhan patients?
MSNBC About time too, putting elderly relatives into the care of strangers should be the last option not the first, have then come live with you and care for them yourself, remember, you’re setting an example for your kids and being disposed of as inconvenient could happen to you
MSNBC A for-profit healthcare system is guaranteed to be inadequate to the needs of a pandemic. Just in time products and just enough capacity will maximize profits... and deaths in a pandemic. The US pays 2x the average of every other western industrialize country for worse care.
MSNBC BS. The hospitals have room.
What hospitals are full? Most are empty and many were laying off employees since any elective surgeries were banned.
Only the hospitals aren't filing up. You're FAKENEWS!
Um...according to the governors of many states - hospital admittance for CoVid-19 is way down, a matter of fact - Cuomo spoke those words yesterday! So which is it
We have been doing hospital at home and regular house call visits for years. It does help tremendously with clinical outcomes.
There's almost no coronavirus patients in the hospital, this is a lie. Go to your local hospital and see.
Has some one tell me only health care workers in Jersey were affected. My suggestion for the patriots who want freedom. Default your right to health care services of you want to go out and golf or get your hair done. Stay safer
Oh but they're NOT filling up, on the contrary they are EMPTY. Listen, I am all for free speech, of course, I am right wing, however, you are a so-called 'news' agency, there must be some sort of consequence for wilfully lying like you are here, you are wilfully lying about this.
Fcking try to come in my house.
