Infusion at home provides comfort and convenience for patients and offers less interruption to their daily activities. It is also a cost-effective alternative to expensive hospital stays.

The decision to receive infusion therapy in the home is made between you and your doctor or healthcare provider. One of our medical directors at NJ Infusion Services can also help with that decision.

Several factors are considered before you can receive infusion therapy in the home, including the you and or your caregiver’s desire and willingness to comply with the necessities of the infusion therapy, and that the home is a safe and appropriate environment for infusion therapy.

If you were prescribed infusion therapy during a hospital admission and are now ready to receive therapy outside of the hospital setting, we schedule an infusion appointment at the your convenience.

The infusion medication is then mixed in a local, accredited branch pharmacy that meets all industry safety and sterility standards.

Your medication is then delivered to you and is administered by one of our experienced nurses specifically trained in infusion therapy.
