Mount Sinai, Contessa create Mount Sinai at Home 

NEW YORK – Mount Sinai Health System and Contessa, a home-based care provider, have combined Mount Sinai South Nassau’s home health agency into their existing joint venture, creating a home-based care continuum. 

The new combination offers home health, hospitalization at home, rehab at home (in lieu of care at a skilled nursing facility) and palliative care at home. 

“This new initiative accelerates our strategic goal of delivering a continuum of home-based care to more Mount Sinai patients,” said Aaron Stein, COO at Contessa, an Amedisys company. “Mount Sinai at Home provides a strong offering to patients, providers and health plans. Together, we are truly changing health care by rendering care where patients want it the most, their homes.” 

The home health agency will now be called Mount Sinai at Home. It currently treats nearly 3,000 patients each year with a 96% patient satisfaction rate and maintains a 4-star quality rating from CMS. 

Mount Sinai and Contessa first partnered in 2017 to provide hospitalization at home and expanded in 2021 to offer palliative care at home.
