Transitional Care Services

Q: How do I know if my loved one needs transitional care?

Transitional care is helpful when a loved one is discharged from a hospital, rehabilitation center, or acute care facility and needs assistance with daily activities during recovery. It supports a safe recovery and helps restore independence at home.

Q: Can I choose who provides care after my loved one returns home?

Yes. Through CareChoice, you can select your own caregiver, typically a friend or family member. We manage paperwork, payments, and coordination. If needed, we can also connect you with experienced caregivers from our network.

Q: When should I start planning for transitional care?

The best time to plan for transitional care is before discharge from the facility. Early planning ensures services are in place when your loved one arrives home, reducing stress and supporting a smoother transition.

Q: What are the costs for transitional care services?

Please call 1-800-795-7770 to discuss your situation. Many families may qualify for free or low-cost services through Medicaid Waiver programs. We will help explain your options and eligibility.

Q: How long does transitional care typically last?

The duration of transitional care depends on individual recovery needs. Some people require support for a few weeks after discharge, while others benefit from longer assistance as they gradually regain full independence.

CareChoice offers compassionate transitional care to help your loved one return home safely after a stay at a rehabilitation center or other facility. You can choose your own trusted caregiver to help you recover, and we'll handle all the details to ensure a smooth transition.

What Is It?

Transitional care helps during the critical period after your loved one returns home from a hospital, rehabilitation center, or care facility. We offer non-medical support to help seniors adjust to being back home while they continue to heal in familiar surroundings.

We focus on careful planning and coordination to help prevent problems. We work with families to ensure your loved one gets help with everyday tasks, follows their care plan, and safely regains independence. This personalized support fills the gap between care in a facility and full recovery at home.
