Know what you're choosing
Is This “Home Care”? Not Quite. It's Medical Care at Home.
Search “home care Poconos” or “home care Monroe County” and you'll mostly find agencies offering aides for bathing, meals and companionship. Seniority provides medical care at home: a physician-led team that manages your parent's health.
| Seniority Healthcare | Non-medical home care | Home health | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Primary care, chronic condition management, medication management, behavioral health and care coordination | Bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, companionship | Short-term skilled nursing or therapy, often after a hospital stay |
| Who provides it | A physician-led team: provider, nurse case manager and care coordinator | Aides and caregivers | Nurses and therapists |
| How long | Ongoing, for as long as your loved one needs it | Ongoing, usually private pay | Time-limited episodes |
| Paid by | Medicare and most PPO & Medicare Advantage plans | Usually out of pocket | Medicare when criteria are met |
Already have a home care aide or home health? That's fine. Our care works alongside them and won't interfere with those visits or your loved one's other appointments.
How it works

- A nurse case managerVisits your loved one at home, checks how they're really doing and catches changes early.
- A care coordinatorHandles scheduling, refills and communication with specialists, so you don't have to.
- Visits weekly, every other week or monthly, based on your loved one's needs
- 24/7 on-call access to a provider, including nights and weekends
- Coordination with specialists and hospital teams across Monroe County
- Updates for the family members who help manage care

Aging in Place in the Poconos
About 35,000 Monroe County residents are 65 or older, and the county's median age is above the state's.

Monroe County's older adults include lifelong residents of Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg as well as many who moved to the Poconos from New Jersey and New York. Many live in planned communities and wooded developments in Coolbaugh, Tobyhanna, Pocono and Middle Smithfield townships, or in the farm towns of the West End around Brodheadsville and Kunkletown.
Seniority brings the care to them. A nurse case manager visits your parent at home on a regular schedule, the provider directs the care plan, and our care coordinator works with the specialists your parent sees in Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg or the Lehigh Valley.
Mountain roads, winter weather and long distances between homes and medical offices make appointments harder here than in most places. With an average commute of more than half an hour, adult children often can't take a parent to midday visits. Regular home visits and telemedicine keep care on schedule anyway.

Will this get in the way of home care, home health or other appointments?
No. We coordinate with your parent's home care aides, home health services and specialists in the Poconos or the Lehigh Valley, and our care coordinator keeps everyone up to date.
