Telehealth Program
Our in-home telehealth program is simple and custom designed for patients and families to utilize in the home. We set up the small easy-to-use monitor and teach patients and family how to operate it. VNA of Middlesex-East provides daily monitoring of vital signs including blood pressure, pulse, weight, and oxygen content in the blood. The user may be asked up to 10 subjective yes/no questions to further assist our clinicians in evaluating the patient's health. The telehealth system assists us in managing patients each and every day.

"Sandy was my nurse during my recuperation. She is a wonderful nurse and caregiver. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Sandy. On her last visit she told me if I ever need her, call her day or night. That's nursing at its best."
