Going home from the hospital? Your recovery plan shouldn't stop at the door.

Coordinated nursing and therapy after hospital discharge — the bridge between inpatient and independent.

Serving Jefferson County, Texas

The first 30 days after hospital discharge are the highest-risk period for readmission. Medications are new or changed, your body is deconditioned, wounds may still be healing, and the routines you need to follow at home are completely different from what happened in the hospital.

Our post-hospital care team steps in to manage that transition. A nurse visits within 24-48 hours of discharge to perform a thorough assessment, reconcile your medications, set up monitoring for any acute issues, and coordinate with your hospital team and primary care physician. If you need physical therapy to rebuild strength, occupational therapy to manage daily tasks, wound care, or infusion therapy, those services start immediately as part of one coordinated plan.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually the hospital's discharge planner or case manager places the referral. Physicians, family members, and patients can also request home health directly.

The typical episode is 30-60 days, depending on your condition and recovery progress. Some patients need a few weeks; others need several months.

Home health includes skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and medical social work — clinical services ordered by a physician. A home health aide provides personal care assistance as part of that clinical plan.
