Geriatric Care Management in Stony Point, NY

Northern Rockland's river town

Stony Point is in the northern corner of Rockland County along the Hudson, home to the Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site and close to Harriman and Bear Mountain state parks. Its neighborhoods include older homes near the river, raised ranches and split-levels, and newer developments, many on hilly, wooded lots. Route 9W is the main road, and life here depends on a car.

That northern location means longer drives to some services and specialists. For an older adult who has stopped driving, getting to the doctor, the pharmacy or the grocery store can become a weekly struggle. We help families build a plan for transportation, deliveries and social contact.

Close to Helen Hayes Hospital

Stony Point is near Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw, a New York State rehabilitation hospital that many Rockland families use after a stroke, brain injury, spinal problem, joint replacement or serious fall. Montefiore Nyack Hospital and Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, part of WMCHealth, are the county's main general hospitals, each a drive south.

Many Stony Point families go through a common sequence: a fall or illness, a hospital stay, a stretch of inpatient rehab and then a rushed decision about going home. We help slow that down.

Planning a safe discharge

Our hospital discharge planning helps make the move from hospital or rehab to home safer. We can:

• Talk with the hospital or rehab team about what your parent can really do.
• Help decide whether home, home with help, or another setting is right.
• Line up home care, equipment and follow-up appointments before discharge.
• Review new medications against old ones and raise questions with the doctor.
• Visit soon after your parent is home and watch for problems in the first weeks.

For a quick reference, see our hospital discharge checklist.

Steady support at home

After the hospital and rehab, many Stony Point families keep us involved. We visit regularly, keep track of medications and doctors, go to appointments, oversee home care and help with bills and paperwork. If your parent wants to stay in Stony Point, we work hard to make that possible. Should a move become the better choice, we help you get there without a scramble.

Stony Point families who live in older riverside homes or on steep wooded lots also benefit from a home safety review. We look at entrances, outdoor steps, lighting, the bathroom and the route your parent takes at night, and recommend specific changes. Small fixes, like a second railing or motion lights, can prevent the fall that starts the whole hospital cycle in the first place. We can also connect you with equipment and home modification providers.
