At the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, we understand the issues people living in Staten Island face every day. We know that if you are ill or injured or elderly, it can be hard to travel from place to place by car or bus, or walk safely on neighborhood sidewalks, or even do the household chores. We know you live in the very real world of New York City and that is why we offer a wide range of services. From pediatrics to senior care, short-term interventions to long-term management, our skilled nurses, clinical professionals and home health aides have the medical expertise and compassion you need to live your best life possible.

At VNSNY, we've served the residents of Staten Island since 1998, and we’re a part of the fabric of your community:

• Of our approximately 13,000 employees, more than 300 live on Staten Island.
• We served almost 5,000 patients on Staten Island in 2007. 
• Our multi-lingual staff members are able to provide care to patients who don’t speak English comfortably—and that’s nearly 10 percent of our patients on Staten Island.

For Staten Island residents we offer post-hospital care, rehabilitation therapies, long term home health care, AIDS programs and help with all activities of daily living. Through our affiliate company, VNS CHOICE, we offer two health plans–a managed long-term care plan for nursing home eligible Medicaid patients and a Medicare Advantage health plan for residents who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.

VNSNY can help make the transition from hospital to home as easy as possible, with no gaps in your care or treatment. We also accept referrals from every hospital in Staten Island, and we have nurses on-site at some hospitals.
