Our History
Established in 1947, Montefiore Home Care is the nation’s first hospital-based agency, created to enable newly discharged patients the benefits of at-home recuperation and recovery by providing supportive healthcare in the home.
It was an innovative concept, referred to as a “hospital without walls,” that gave outpatient access to nursing care, rehabilitation therapies and social work services, specifically tailored to individual needs—an essential lifeline for those transitioning from the hospital to home.
Montefiore Home Care is an option for anyone in need of skilled services ranging from physical, occupational and speech therapies and postpartum assistance to in-home laboratory services and behavioral health, telemedicine and joint-replacement programs.
