A transition of care (TOC) 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.

Transitions of Care - How We Can Help

 A strong support system at home, along with coordinated care, can reduce one’s risk of hospital readmission. At ComForCare, we have processes in place to help people successfully transition home after a stay in a hospital, rehabilitation center or skilled nursing facility. Our Transitions of Care services allow our team to:*

• Obtain and review hospital discharge instructions and incorporate these instructions into a client’s personalized care plan
• Pick up prescriptions, provide medication reminders and help the client adhere to their prescribed regimen
• Educate the client, caregivers and family members on red flags or warning signs for chronic conditions
• Assist clients with scheduling and attending follow-up medical appointments
• Communicate with the client’s family members, discharge planner, health coach or other health care professional
• Assist with personal care services such as bathing, grooming and personal hygiene
• Help with meal preparation, laundry and light housekeeping
• Identify trip hazards and make home safety recommendations
• Provide companion care services
• Provide home care services as needed

For individuals that need Transitions of Care services, ComForCare offers a one-time “Transition to Home” package.

We’ll even call a friend or family member to let them know their loved one has arrived home.
