One of the leading causes of hospital readmission or slow post-hospitalization recovery is the lack of appropriate/effective support following a hospital discharge. Whether you or a loved one is transitioning directly home after a hospitalization or moving through the care continuum via a rehabilitation or medical care facility, in-home care is a key resource for a safe and successful recovery process.
