Transition of Care
Transitions Made Easier
Our goal is to keep you healthy and out of the hospital. But if a health event causes you to have longer-term care, we have a support system to help you after discharge. From one-on-one outreach to ready-made, home-delivered meals, we’ll help make sure your transition home is smooth.
Going home after an inpatient hospital or skilled nursing facility stay is a relief. But it can also be challenging. You may have new medications or instructions from your providers. You may have a difficult recovery and need help with other tasks.
Your Advantage MD care team will be there to help. We will contact and assist you after your discharge. We can provide education on new diagnoses, help you manage your medications, connect you to community resources, and more. If you have an emergency room visit, we can also help you avoid a readmission.
