Making health care decisions following an illness, injury, or surgery can be difficult. Patients or families aren’t always ready to leave the safety of the hospital when discharged. At Finger Lakes Visiting Nurse Service (FLVNS), we understand how worrisome it may be for patients to come home feeling unprepared to meet daily challenges or to begin a new medication regimen.

Since 1990, Finger Lakes Visiting Nurse Service has provided clinically excellent and compassionate health and hospice care to thousands of individuals and their families in Ontario, Wayne, Yates, and Seneca Counties in the comfort of their own homes. Certified by Medicare and licensed by New York State, FLVNS is a private, not-for-profit home care agency available 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.

The dedicated staff at Finger Lakes Visiting Nurse Service works with you, your primary care physician, and your family to develop a plan of care tailored to your individual needs and unique home environment. Over the years, patients and families have praised our one-on-one compassionate care and commitment to the excellent service we provide. Patients often comment they never expected to get better so quickly after surgery... and credit their speedy recovery to the FLVNS nurses, home health aides, and therapists who provided their care.

New in 2010: TeleHealth is an in-home monitoring system which provides clinical information on patient’s health status. TeleHealth monitoring may be appropriate for individuals who suffer from heart or lung disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. The daily monitoring system transmits patients’ heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation levels, and weight to Finger Lakes Visiting Nurse Service via a telephone and allows day-to-day evaluation of patients’ stability. Changes in status are communicated with the nurse case manager and physician.
