Touching Hearts at Home on Long Island

The Long Island branch of Touching Hearts at Home is a Hicksville office of a national non-medical home care franchise in which each location is independently owned. Its caregivers help older adults, people with illnesses or disabilities, patients returning from the hospital and other adults who need support to remain at home. Services include companionship, light housekeeping and fresh linens, meal planning and cooking, help with bathing and dressing, errands, and transportation to medical appointments, same-day surgery, outings and religious services. Caregivers are trained to support clients with short-term or long-term memory loss, and the office also lists home monitoring among its services. Visits can run a few hours or extend to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Care begins with a free in-home consultation that leads to a personalized plan. The office serves Nassau, Suffolk and Queens, including Huntington, Westbury and Plainview.
