Newburgh, N.Y. – EverCare At Home, a Medicare-Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA) in the Hudson Valley, has recently announced the launch of its new Fast Track Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program.
The EverCare At Home Fast Track Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program – offered in Orange, Dutchess, and Rockland counties – was developed to help patients recover faster and more completely after full hip or knee replacement surgery by integrating the expertise of the orthopedic surgeon with the knowledge and experience of EverCare’s Rehabilitation Nursing/Therapy team. This approach offers a seamless transition directly from a hospital or surgical center, to the patients’ homes, to outpatient rehabilitation; this provides patients with a more effective track to recovery.
“Through Fast Track, we are able to maximize the success of patients’ surgeries by enabling them to return directly to the safety of their homes with the physical support necessary to achieve maximum mobility in the shortest possible period of time,” said EverCare President and CEO Sylvia McTigue. “During this time of COVID-19, our patients are able to remain safely at home with the support of their family without isolation or concerns related to current restrictions on inpatient visitation.”
Other benefits of EverCare At Home’s Fast Track Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program include:
“Research has taught us that patients who receive individualized, customized care following joint replacement surgery have a higher chance at an improved, shorter recovery,” said EverCare Director of Rehabilitation Jeff Goldman. “Through Fast Track, we are able to maximize the success of joint replacement surgeries by providing the necessary support patients need – in the comfort of their own home.”
EverCare has received accreditation from Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP), which reflects a commitment and dedication to delivering quality patient care and adherence to the industry’s highest nationally recognized standards. EverCare has also achieved Compliance Program Certification by the Health Ethics Trust, demonstrating that it meets or exceeds compliance with distinguished caliber.
EverCare At Home, a Medicare-Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA), provides quality home health care to patients who may be managing an existing condition, recovering from an injury or illness, or working to restore self-sufficiency. Through individualized care plans, EverCare professionals are able to provide health care services to patients in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. The Fast Track Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program is a component of EverCare’s existing speciality programming services.
In addition to the Fast Track Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program, EverCare At Home also provides a number of additional key CHHA services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy; nutritional evaluation and planning; skilled nursing; home health aides; social work; medical supplies, equipment and appliances; and more.
EverCare At Home also offers TeleHealth, which provides distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. Through TeleHealth, EverCare At Home is able to coordinate long-distance patient and clinician contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions.

EverCare at Home, a Medicare-Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA), provides quality home health care to patients who may be managing an existing condition, recovering from an injury or illness, or working to restore self-sufficiency. Through individualized care plans, EverCare professionals are able to provide healthcare services to patients in the privacy and comfort of their own homes.

TeleHealth provides for distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows long-distance patient and clinician contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions.

EverCare At Home’s new TeleHealth program seeks to provide healthcare at patients’ fingertips by providing two-way communication between the patient, the family/caregivers, and EverCare clinical staff. Through TeleHealth, EverCare professionals are able to provide more frequent assessments, education, and prompt response and intervention to potential problems.
Through TeleHealth, EverCare At Home will now be able to provide greater access to quality healthcare for an expanded number of patients in their homes, reduce re-hospitalization through education and self-management, and decrease response time to changes in condition. The program is appropriate for those who are homebound, who have suffered a recent change in health condition, or who have recently received an acute diagnosis.
“This new program is the exciting marriage of innovative technology with quality healthcare,” said EverCare Director of Patient Services Sioban Wynne. “With our new TeleHealth capabilities, EverCare will be able to implement and coordinate services to the highest efficiency for patients. This includes collaboration with area hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, primary care physicians, and direct care staff. We are excited to be on the forefront of this new, evolved level of medical care.”
