Personal, private-pay RN care for adults who want more attention, more continuity, and a nurse who sees the whole picture — advocating for you, coordinating your care, and helping protect your safety at home.
Gay men, including older gay men living alone or relying on partners, friends, and chosen family, are a central focus of Island City Home Care. I also welcome adults of every background who value privacy, dignity, clear communication, and professional nursing support at home.
Affirming nurse oversight for safety, medications, changing needs, independence, and home routines.
RN accompaniment to medical appointments, providing advocacy, help preparing questions, clear note-taking, and support understanding instructions and next steps. Transportation can be arranged if needed.
Post-discharge check-ins, medication review, safety concerns, and care coordination support.
Support for the trusted people helping someone they care about remain safer and more organized at home.
Clear visit updates and care recommendations when family cannot be there in person.
Professional support that respects each client’s identity, relationships, household, and chosen support system.
Start with a complimentary phone consultation. From there, choose a one-time Initial RN Care Assessment or a focused 30-Day RN Support Plan. Medical appointment accompaniment and monthly, biweekly, weekly, or high-touch support are available for clients who need additional nurse involvement.
A brief introductory call to understand the general situation, answer basic questions, and determine whether Island City Home Care may be a good fit.
A comprehensive in-home nursing assessment to understand current needs, risks, medications, providers, routines, and support systems.
A focused first month of nurse-led support for clients and families who want assessment, follow-up, and clear communication during a transition or period of concern.
Designed for new clients who want structured nurse-led support during their first 30 days.
Visit frequency and care-management support are matched to the client’s needs and can be adjusted as circumstances change.
Light-touch professional oversight for mostly stable clients who benefit from a nurse checking in monthly.
Consistent nursing involvement every other week for clients with changing needs or families who want closer oversight.
Continuing weekly support after the initial assessment or 30-Day RN Support Plan. This is an ongoing monthly service, not a repeat of the founding offer.
Customized support for complex situations, recent hospitalization, multiple providers, family meetings, or clients who need closer nursing involvement.
Professional RN support before, during, and after a scheduled medical appointment so important questions, instructions, and next steps are easier to manage.
All services are private pay. Service terms, payment, scheduling, cancellation, and refund policies are reviewed before care begins.
Founder of Island City Home Care with over 15 years of nursing experience, providing consistent oversight, clear guidance, sound clinical judgment, and reliable follow-through throughout each client’s care.
Island City Home Care was created for adults who need more than a quick check-in, with a particular commitment to affirming support for gay men and the people they trust. The goal is steady, respectful care that helps everyone involved understand what is happening at home before small issues become bigger problems.
Many families do not only need a task completed. They need someone clinically trained to notice changes, ask the right questions, organize information, communicate clearly, and help them make better decisions.
That is the role of nurse-led care management: steady eyes, clear communication, practical support, and professional judgment in the home setting.
Island City Home Care provides private-pay registered nursing services, nurse-led care management, and scheduled RN home visits.
Following an RN assessment, Island City Home Care may provide written nursing recommendations, safety guidance, and care priorities for the client and family to share with separately hired caregivers or caregiving agencies. With the client’s authorization, the RN may communicate observed concerns and recommendations to those caregivers.
Island City Home Care does not currently provide aide, CNA, HHA, homemaker, companion, or caregiver staffing. Families who need daily hands-on caregiver support may arrange those services separately.
Island City Home Care does not employ, refer, assign, schedule, pay, train, supervise, direct, or manage independently hired caregivers and does not assume responsibility for the services they provide. RN care management may continue separately while the family arranges those services through their own chosen provider or caregiver.
A complimentary 15-minute phone consultation is the simplest way to determine whether Island City Home Care is the right level of support for you or someone you care about.
