Sometimes patients and their families need help getting home from the hospital or rehabilitation facility. Sometimes it is just one time, or on occasion. Life is not always predictable. In the case of an early hospital discharge, or emergency surgery, family members cannot always be there for their loved one.
Sometimes families don’t live in the same city or state. There are so many times that ComForCare can help!
When called on, we are able to coordinate pick up with a discharge planner, social worker, or the nursing staff at a hospital or rehab facility. Our caregivers will follow the patient-specific plan for at home care, pick up prescriptions, and get your loved one comfortably settled.
We offer a team approach that includes:
We can assist one time, or occasionally as needed. For example, we can assist in transferring your loved one from a medical facility to an assisted living community or to their home. Working as a team, we can ensure adherence to the discharge plan while keeping the client comfortable, thus reducing or eliminating the need for readmission.
Continuing to monitor care after release from a facility is crucial for a full recovery. ComForCare is able to help clients who require extra supervision and assistance after a hospital discharge, including around-the-clock care if needed. With hospital-to-home transition care, our caregivers provide transportation, assist with meal preparation, help run errands, follow discharge plans from medical facilities, set medication reminders, help with light housekeeping and more.
We understand that sometimes the reason for a lengthy hospital stay is due to something that affects the individual’s ability to perform daily activities during recovery. In this situation, ComForCare can develop an extended care plan, including around-the-clock care, to help meet your loved one’s needs so they can return home sooner and recover at home. We always monitor and update care plans as necessary. Our team stays in constant communication with you and your family to decide which care options are in the best interest for your loved one.
We serve all persons in Greater NW Pittsburgh, PA., including Sewickley, Warrendale, Bradford Woods, Mars, Valencia, and Wexford, PA. Call on us anytime.
Whether your loved one needs assistance only a few hours a week or around-the-clock, our team is happy to help! Call (724) 759-7674 to learn more about the transition care services offered through ComForCare Home Care (North & Southwest Pittsburgh).
Transitional care is when someone moves from one care setting – such as a hospital, skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation center or even their home – to another. Unfortunately, these transitions don’t always go smoothly and a person can be readmitted to the hospital.
Transitional care services from ComForCare Home Care are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week - including holidays. Services vary by location.
For individuals that need Transitional Care services, ComForCare offers a one-time “Transition to Home” package. This includes assistance from the hospital, rehabilitation center or skilled nursing facility along with help getting settled in at home. We’ll even call a friend or family member to let them know their loved one has arrived home.
As you or a loved one prepare for discharge, call us for a no obligation consultation. We can provide as much or as little support needed to help someone safely transition home. Our caregivers are available 24/7 including holidays, and we customize our care based on each client’s needs and preferences. Contact a local office to learn more about transitional care services in your area.
Each office is independently owned and operated and is an equal opportunity employer.
