Hospital to Home

After a stay at the hospital or other care facility, there’s nothing like returning to the comfort of home. A discharge from the hospital can seem like a welcome end to an injury or illness. But the transition to living at home can be daunting. It’s difficult to manage appointments, medications, and the routines of daily living such as grocery shopping and housework when all you want to do is rest and recuperate. That’s why we developed our own hospital to home program called RightTransitions® .

Through our RightTransitions hospital to home care program, Right at Home Harvard can help seniors and adults with disabilities get home safely and prevent further hospitalizations with regular visits by our trained caregivers. We’re here to make living at home easier, so you can save your energy for recovery.

How Can RightTransitions® Help With Your Hospital to Home Transition?

Right at Home Harvard, MA can make transitioning from the hospital to home easy. Your care team will communicate with your family and health care providers to notify them of any changes in condition. This is important so that any small change being experienced as you recover can be dealt with quickly to avoid any more serious complications.

When developing your personalized care plan, we take into account your unique situation and health concerns, including the plan of care you received upon discharge, when offering hospital to home care services such as:

"We hired Right at Home after a terrible experience with their competitors. We hired Right at Home to care for my 87-year old mother who has Alzheimer's. Since employing Lanette and her staff, my brother and I can sleep at night. Our hospice agency has been very impressed with the care Right at Home has been giving my mother. It's been a Godsend."

"You can only understand the hospice journey when you have to make it with your loved one. Lanette and her team know it well and she went above and beyond to help us through the difficult time of losing my beloved father. Each person that came to stay with us at my house had a special way about them that made me feel safe and comfortable doing things like sleeping through the night. Starting with Lanette, each employee is extremely professional and they truly love what they do. I can't imagine having made this journey with my family without the loving care of Lanette and her team to help us along the way. Highly recommend."

"I started using Right at Home in 2015 for my 92-year old father. Dad's long term care company recommended Right at Home. They have provided care for my father from 8AM to 10PM, 7 days a week. Their caregivers have all been caring, professional and reliable. Dad needed care 24/7 and Right at Home have been open and flexible with Dad's changing needs. I feel confident that he is in good hands."

"We had to place my mother in an assisted living facility. We did not realize how severe her dementia was. We had to have Right at Home take care of my mother for several weeks until we could get her in a nursing home facility with a Dementia Unit. Right at Home came in every day of the week for about 18 hours a day at the assisted living facility. My mother was scared and anxious. She never could have made through those weeks without the excellent care that was provided by the Right at Home staff. My mother is doing very well now. Thank you Right at Home for helping my mother and family get through those trying times."
