What exactly does this service provide?
On-site clinical assessment and IV hydration when appropriate for residents in assisted living or home settings. Each visit includes a full medical evaluation to determine whether hydration is suitable and what next steps are needed.
Is this a replacement for emergency care?
No. If a resident shows signs of a serious or unstable condition, we will immediately recommend transfer to the emergency room or activation of emergency services. This service is designed for appropriate, non-emergency clinical situations.
How do we know if a resident qualifies?
We guide you through that decision. You may contact us when you observe:
- Decreased oral intake
- Mild dehydration or fatigue
- Weakness or post-illness recovery
We perform a clinical screening before scheduling and reassess on-site before any treatment is provided.
What if the resident isn't a candidate for treatment?
We clearly explain why, provide guidance on appropriate next steps, and recommend higher-level care when needed. No treatment is performed unless it is clinically appropriate—period.
Who provides the care?
Care is provided by board-certified Family Nurse Practitioners with dual training in medical and psychiatric mental health, using an integrative, safety-focused clinical approach.
How quickly can you respond?
We aim for same-day or next-day service when clinically appropriate and scheduling allows. Urgency is assessed during the intake call to prioritize accordingly.
Is this covered by insurance?
This is a private pay service, typically arranged and funded by the resident's family. We can discuss pricing and details directly with the responsible party prior to any visit.
How does this benefit our facility and staff?
This service gives your staff a clinical partner for difficult decision moments. It provides additional assessment, guided next steps, and supports resident comfort—without replacing your protocols. Think of it as an added layer of clinical confidence.
How does this help families?
Families often want to avoid unnecessary hospital visits, keep their loved one in a familiar environment, and know that a proper assessment is happening. This service provides clinical oversight and transparent communication exactly when families need it most.
What is the process to request a visit?
- Call or submit a request form

Do you coordinate with staff and families?
Yes. We communicate directly with facility staff and the family or responsible party to ensure alignment, transparency, and continuity of care throughout every visit.
What safety measures are in place?
Every resident is assessed before treatment. Treatment is only provided when appropriate. Clear clinical criteria govern all escalation decisions. Safety and clinical judgment guide every single visit—no exceptions.
Are contracts required?
No long-term contracts are required for the pilot program. Facilities may use the service on an as-needed basis, with preferred partnership options available as the program expands.
What types of facilities is this best suited for?
This service is ideal for home-based ALFs, small to mid-sized assisted living facilities, and any setting where continuity of care and resident comfort are top priorities.
