After a hospital stay, the first 72 hours are critical. During those important three days and beyond, our trained caregivers can support you or your loved one through a successful recovery at home.
Feel better and heal better—faster.
Following surgery or a hospitalization, most people are more comfortable at home in their own bed, surrounded by the things they know and love. Our hospital-to-home care solution is comprehensive and flexible, giving you the physical and emotional support needed to recover safely and comfortably. We handle everything required for a successful recovery, so you can relax, rest, and focus on getting better.
We understand post-hospitalization care needs.
Hospital discharge is something to celebrate but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, and even risky without the right support.
We can reduce the stress of recovery—and the risk of readmission—by ensuring a smooth transition from the hospital, making sure the home environment is safe, and providing the help and medication reminders needed to heal quickly and comfortably.
We’ll develop a Care Plan that sets you up for a successful recovery—and helps relieve family members’ fatigue and worry. We’re also experienced coordinating care with healthcare teams, physical therapists, and others to avoid setbacks and support ongoing health in the future.

How we can help.
Our caregivers have experience helping clients during their cancer treatments and recovery from surgery as well as with palliative care. We can provide transportation and companionship for medical appointments, chemotherapy, radiation, or other treatments, prepare tasty, nutritious meals to combat lack of appetite, provide mobility support and help with bathing when fatigued, and keep the house safe and tidy. And, if you’re feeling overwhelmed or down about the prognosis, we’ll be a source of support as you work through next steps.

Learning For Families
Home care offers personalized assistance to older adults in need—and surprisingly, these services don’t always have to take place in the home. Here are the ways home care provides much-needed support to your loved one wherever they are.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiving
The FAST scale assesses the “functional” or daily observable changes and symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias — and it can provide a useful map, as well as much greater understanding of the process of decline. But did you know that family members and loved ones can use this tool as well?

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best home care?
The best home care is provided by reliable, professional caregivers who are trained and backed by a home care agency that’s insured, providing oversight, care guidance, and back-up caregivers as needed.
How do I find the best caregiver for my loved one?
The best caregiver is an experienced professional who has the training and skills to support your loved one’s care needs. It’s also important to find a caregiver who’s extremely reliable—has back-up if necessary—and is a good fit in terms of personality and shared interests.
Is home care better than moving to assisted living?
Nine out of ten older adults would prefer to live independently in the home they know and love rather than moving to a facility or assisted living community. With the right level of support, most people can continue to live safely and comfortably at home even as they age with a progressive illness or medical condition.
How much does home care cost?
Home care is typically billed by the hour, so the cost depends on the number of care hours per week and can vary slightly by region. Most families pay out-of-pocket for their care or use long-term care insurance.
Is a home care agency better than hiring a private caregiver?
If you value safety, security, and reliability, yes. A quality home care agency is insured and also manages the performance and scheduling of its caregivers, handles billing and payroll, and has back-up caregivers to fill in when needed. With a private hire caregiver, you’re responsible for setting up payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents or injuries in the home.
