Remote Patient Monitoring in Westchester County

Reducing Hospital Readmission Rates in Westchester County

Amelia Home Care addresses avoidable readmissions by blending live 24/7 Professional Remote Care Coordination (RCC) with the latest intuitive remote patient monitoring.

Our team provides timely interventions, bridges external care services, and addresses patient psychosocial needs. RCCs collect and share patient data with the healthcare team, a key pillar in preventing avoidable readmissions.

With thousands of patients, Amelia Home Care is seeing a reduction in readmission rates of 91 to 95 percent.

Remote Care Coordination in Westchester County

Our Remote Care Coordinators (RCCs) provide face-to-face, video chat interactions with your patients to monitor and assist in adherence and reducing readmissions while improving clinical patient outcomes.

With the ability to visually record patient vitals, assess patient needs for medication refills, food, transportation to medical appointments, and social interactions, our coordinators develop personalized patient care with established protocols.

Available 24/7, RCCs cover the extended hours and weekends when staffing from Home Health is typically limited. Amelia Home Care patients thrive with more attention and interaction, and their satisfaction scores prove it!

Care Pathways for Westchester County Clients

Amelia Home Care has over 95 Care Pathways currently available to our clients including combination pathways for patients with multiple co-morbidities.

These pathways include branch logic and RCC protocol for follow-up questions. Our RCCs are trained to identify and report issues with post-acute and post-surgical patients, including the identification of SIRS criteria, which may lead to sepsis.

In addition to pathways questions, vital signs, and video conferencing, we have educational videos, teach-back questions, reminders, and the ability to assist patients in obtaining appointments, video-conferencing with family members, and other members of the care team.

Psychosocial Needs and Socialization for Westchester County Residents

Often, many of our patients are seniors between 70 to 95 years old, and many are lonely and isolated. The RCC’s responsibility is to engage in casual conversations, beyond the illness and discuss life, and joyful matters.

For patients who require more attention, often receive multiple video calls per day and are assigned to volunteers to check in with the patients.

The results are astonishing, leading to reduction of readmissions, happier patient satisfaction, and increased RPM utilization rate.

Amelia Home Care Health Platform

Based on the patient’s capability and comfort level utilizing their preferred communication device, Amelia Home Care provides a variety of platforms to ensure as many patients are enrolled in the program as possible.

For patients accustomed to utilizing their own personal smartphone or tablet (Apple or Android), an easy-to-download application is provided.

A telehealth kit, which consists of a tablet with built-in internet and wireless medical devices and is intuitive to operate, can be delivered to the patient’s home.

If both are not viable options, their assigned RCC can render phone calls to retrieve ongoing data collection so no patient is left out of the program.

Authorized physicians, nurses, nursing staff, and Home Health agencies will have access to patient data and telehealth communication with the patient based on their security access privileges.

Oftentimes, physicians and nurses find it more convenient to work with the assigned RCC.

Based on schedule or ad hoc calls, the RCC can engage the physician on a group video conference with the patient by sending a link to the physician’s email or phone.

Upon clicking the link, the physician will be able to join the secured video conference call with the patient.

About Westchester County

Westchester County is an area in the Hudson Valley north of New York City. The Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve includes the steep Breakneck Ridge Trail. Kykuit, the Rockefeller family’s opulent hilltop estate, has terraced gardens and 20th-century statues. Across the Hudson River, Bear Mountain State Park features hiking trails, the Trailside Museums & Zoo and panoramic views from the top of Bear Mountain. ― Google

Westchester County is located in the U.S. state of New York. It is the seventh most populated county in New York and the most populated north of New York City.[5] According to the 2010 U.S. census, the county had a population of 949,113, estimated to have increased to 967,506 by 2019.[1] Situated in the Hudson Valley, Westchester covers an area of 450 square miles (1,200 km2), consisting of six cities, 19 towns, and 23 villages. Established in 1683, Westchester was named after the city of Chester, England.[6][7] The county seat is the city of White Plains, while the most populous municipality in the county is the city of Yonkers, with an estimated 199,663 residents in 2018.

The annual per capita income for Westchester was $67,813 in 2011. The 2011 median household income of $77,006 was the fifth highest in New York (after NassauPutnamSuffolk, and Rockland counties) and the 47th highest in the United States.[8] By 2014, the county’s median household income had risen to $83,422.[9] Westchester County ranks second in the state after New York County for median income per person, with a higher concentration of incomes in smaller households. Simultaneously, Westchester County had the highest property taxes of any county in the United States in 2013.[10]

Westchester County is one of the centrally located counties within the New York metropolitan area. The county is positioned with New York City, plus Nassau and Suffolk counties (on Long Island, across Long Island Sound), to its south; Putnam County to its north; Fairfield County, Connecticut to its east; and Rockland County and Bergen County, New Jersey across the Hudson River to the west. Westchester was the first suburban area of its scale in the world to develop, due mostly to the upper-middle-class development of entire communities in the late 19th century and the subsequent rapid population growth.[11] Because of Westchester’s numerous road and mass transit connections to New York City, as well as its shared border with the Bronx, the 20th and 21st centuries have seen much of the county, particularly the southern portion, become nearly as densely developed as New York City itself.[citation needed]

At the time of European contact in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Native American inhabitants of present-day Westchester County were part of the Algonquian peoples, whose name for themselves was Lenape, meaning the people. They called the region Lenapehoking, which consisted of the area around and between the Delaware and Hudson Rivers. Several different tribes occupied the area, including The Manhattans, and the Weckquaesgeek and Siwanoy bands of the Wappinger in the south, and Tankiteke, Sintsink and Kitchawank Wappinger in the north. The first European explorers to visit the Westchester area were Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and Henry Hudson in 1609. Dutch settlers began arriving in the 1620s, followed by settlers from England in the 1640s. Westchester County was one of the original twelve counties of the Province of New York, created by an act of the New York General Assembly in 1683. At the time it included present-day Bronx County, and abutted then-Dutchess County to the north. By 1775, Westchester was the richest and most populous county in the colony of New York. Although the Revolutionary War devastated the county, recovery after the war was rapid. In 1788, five years after the end of the war, the county was divided into 20 towns. In 1798, the first federal census recorded a population of 24,000 for the county. Two developments in the first half of the 19th century—the construction of the first Croton Dam and Aqueduct, and the coming of the railroad—had enormous impacts on the growth of Westchester. The Croton Dam and Aqueduct was begun in 1837 and completed in 1842; now a National Historic Landmark, the Croton Aqueduct is considered one of the great engineering achievements of the 19th century. In the 1840s, the first railroads were built in Westchester, and included the New York and Harlem Railroad, the Hudson River Railroad,[nb 2] and the New York and New Haven Railroad. The railroads often determined the growth of a town, and the population shifted from Northern to Southern Westchester. By 1860, the total county population was 99,000, with the most populated city being Yonkers. The period following the American Civil War enabled entrepreneurs in the New York area to create fortunes, and many built large estates, such as Lyndhurst, in Westchester. During the latter half of the 19th century, Westchester’s transportation system and labor force attracted a manufacturing base, particularly along the Hudson River and Nepperhan Creek. In 1874, the western portion of the present Bronx County was transferred to New York County, and in 1895 the remainder of the present Bronx County was also transferred to New York County. These would later split from Manhattan to form a county. During the 20th century, the rural character of Westchester would transform into the suburban county known today. The Bronx River Parkway, completed in 1925, was the first modern, multi-lane limited-access roadway in North America. The development of Westchester’s parks and parkway systems supported existing communities and encouraged the establishment of new ones, transforming the development pattern for Westchester. With the need for homes expanding after World War II, multistory apartment houses appeared in the urbanized areas of the county, while the market for single-family houses continued to expand. By 1950, the total county population was 625,816. Major interstate highways were constructed in Westchester during the 1950s and 1960s. The establishment of these roadways, along with the construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge, led to further growth in the county.
Here are vital programs from Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS) for the elderly or disabled who need some help, but wish to remain in their homes and communities in comfort and safety. Family members who are caring for a parent, spouse or other relative will find support services in our Caregiver Corner. The Care Circles of Westchester program is the newest initiative under the big Livable Communities umbrella. The Livable Communities Caregiver Coaching program is a trail-blazing initiative that helps family caregivers make informed decisions to better care for their older or disabled loved ones. The New York State Insurance Department provides information about long-term care insurance as well as other items of interest to seniors, such as Medicare, Medicaid and other topics. The New York Connects help line is a service where callers can make one, toll-free phone call for information about long-term care for seniors and for adults and children who are disabled. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to physical, emotional and financial abuse. If you suspect elder abuse, read the information here to see how to recognize it and learn what can be done about it. Caregivers, family and friends frequently don’t know where to turn when they are worried about the safety of an older driver. Check our Older Driver Family Assistance Program to learn your options. Our valuable Senior Citizen Guide to Mental Health Services helps families obtain information on mental health programs and services in Westchester County. Caregivers who live in their homes with a loved one with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia usually worry that that person will wander away and get lost.  If that happens Project Lifesaver is a free program that uses radio-frequency technology to find their loved ones quickly and return them safely home.
