CARE UNIVERSAL INC is partnered with IMANA RN LLC, a nursing staffing company established to meet the specialization needs of patients who require Infusion Therapy Services. Together we provide our licensed and certified High Tech Registered Nurses  (HT RNs) to provide all kinds of skilled infusion services for patients in a variety of healthcare settings, such as infusion centers, healthcare facilities, as well as for patients in the comfort of their own homes. 

On the day(s) of Infusions, your assigned HT RN will follow all health safety measures & protocols upon arrival. Your HT RN will then review your treatment plan with you. The HT RN will organize the materials and medications for infusion, and begin administering the Infusion Services as per the treatment plan. Your HT RN will guide you every step of the way. 

Just tell us! You can request the Nursing Staffing Agency of your choice, if you require Infusion Therapy Services at Home.  Simply tell your doctor you would like CARE UNIVERSAL INC as your preferred Nursing Staffing Agency. Your doctor will submit your Infusion prescription to a Specialty Pharmacy, with CARE UNIVERSAL's contact information. The Specialty Pharmacy will obtain Insurance Authorization as required, and make arrangements with us to administer your Infusion Services. Once your Insurance authorizes your Infusion Therapy Services, the Specialty Pharmacy will arrange the delivery of your Infusion medications and materials. Once received, we  will schedule nursing administration of your Infusion Therapy Services. Please contact us to ask questions or for assistance with this process.

Our High Tech RNs are available for EMERGENCY INFUSION SERVICES on short notice, 24  hours a day, 7 days a week.  Please call (914) 699-3648 during regular business hours. For Emergency and Short Notice assistance between 9pm and 9am, please call (347) 282-0458.

CARE UNIVERSAL INC provides Infusion Therapy Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once your Infusion Therapy Services have been authorized by your Insurance, and your Infusion Therapy materials have been delivered by the Specialty Pharmacy, the High Tech Registered Nurse assigned to you will call to arrange the schedule for Infusion Therapy Services at Home. If you require your infusion therapy during late night or overnight hours, or have special needs, just give our office a call at least 24 hours in advance so we can do our best to try and accommodate your requests. 

Infusion Therapy at home is comfortable & convenient. It saves you time and money!  Staying home means no money spent, or time wasted on travel. Patients can save themselves (AND their insurance companies) money, as it's more cost efficient to receive Infusions at home. Patients can schedule their infusions, at a time most convenient for them. ALSO, patients who receive Infusion Therapy at home reduce the risk of contracting additional illnesses that they might be exposed to at a healthcare facility.
