Bridge to Home Visits

Bridge to Home Visits
It’s always nice to be in your own bed, but transitioning home after hospitalization, a rehab stay, or even a late-day discharge after surgery can be challenging. There is so much information to process, and if you have been away from home for an extended period, it may be hard to determine if you will feel comfortable without the safety net of a supervised medical environment.
For many patients, VNA services are not covered, and extended private-duty care is unnecessary.
For this reason, Hummingbird Concierge offers Bridge to Home Visits. A nurse will visit on the day you are discharged to your home, assisted, or independent living environment to ensure you are safely settled and establish a baseline assessment. Daily visits for the next few days will ensure that things are progressing as expected and that all your concerns are addressed.
Our visits include:
- Home safety evaluation and recommendations – including mobility concerns, personal care, and medical equipment
- Medication review and education, as well as creating a clear, organized medication schedule to follow
- Wound/dressing/drain assessments
- Pain assessment and guidance on proper medication use
- Head-to-toe assessment, including clear communication with your care team regarding any concerns
Hummingbird Concierge can make your transition to home smoother and safer by providing expert nurses who will bridge the gap between the continual medical care of an inpatient setting and being at home on your own, therefore preventing complications and readmission.
