Home care with a physician behind it
Private-duty nurses and certified home health aides for older adults at home. A nurse checks in every two weeks, our physician Medical Director reviews every care plan, and a doctor can come to the house when it’s needed.

Nursing, aides and house calls from one practice
Most families come to us with more than one need at a time. Having the nurse, the aide and the doctor in the same practice means nobody has to pass messages between three offices.
When the care needs clinical skill
Nurses at home for medication management, wound care, and the close watching that matters in the first weeks after a hospital stay.
Help with the parts of the day that got hard
Certified home health aides for bathing, dressing, meals, moving around the house safely, and company. Every aide is CPR trained and background checked. Shifts from four hours up to live-in care.
The doctor comes to the house
Exams, a review of every medication in the house, and treatment for common problems, from a physician patients can reach at any hour.
Supervision you can see
At a typical home care agency, someone checks on the aide when there’s a problem. At Nexstep, a nurse visits every aide client every two weeks. A registered nurse writes your parent’s care plan and updates it when something changes. Our physician Medical Director reviews those plans, and the nurses and aides can reach the Medical Director directly when they’re unsure.
In practice, it’s the nurse who notices your mother is eating less, or unsteady since a new blood pressure pill, and calls you about it instead of waiting for the next scheduled check.
Referring a patient?
We care for older adults with complex health needs who want to stay at home. One call covers nursing, aides and physician oversight, and our care works alongside what Medicare or other insurance already covers, such as home health or hospice. Call (551) 444-6300.

Private pay, with the insurance paperwork handled
Many families assume Medicare will pay for an aide. Usually it won’t. Medicare covers part-time skilled care for people who are homebound, and it doesn’t pay for 24-hour care, or for help with daily activities when that’s the only care someone needs. Private-duty care fills that gap.
Nexstep is private pay. If your parent or spouse has a long-term care insurance policy, we file the claim and handle the recertifications that keep it paying, so that paperwork doesn’t land on you.
