What is a Care Transition?
To safely assist individuals and caregivers as they return home from a hospital or rehab stay.
What is Hospital 2 Home?
Hospital 2 Home was brought to life in response to the ever-increasing need for community support and interventions to help older adults and those with chronic medical conditions live at home instead of being institutionalized.
Hospital 2 Home (H2H) Care Transitions is designed to aid and support adults with memory loss or those dealing with the effects of COVID-19 and their caregivers, in making a smooth transition from hospital to home. This transitional care program is delivered by licensed social workers who provide care coordination in-person, virtually, and via telephone. H2H offers immediate response, crisis intervention, and respite coaching for each family. We are a dedicated team that works directly with professionals in the community while providing caregivers with much-needed support and resources.
The benefits of Hospital 2 Home:
- MEDICAL stability (short-term & mid-term)
- REDUCED caregiver burden
- ACCESS to long-term care resources
- INCREASED patient engagement
- IMPROVED health outcomes
H2H Program Philosophy
The H2H team leads with kindness to become an advocate who stands alongside the client and caregiver during a stressful and vulnerable time.
