Transitioning from the ER to Your Home

Good news – Should you have to make a trip to the Emergency Room, Crittenton offers assistance to transition you back home. Crittenton Home Care can also help prevent you from having to go to the ER in the future.

Crittenton Home Care offers programs to assist with post-hospital care and  make your transition home as easy as possible. Ask your ER doctor if Home Care is an option upon discharge. A Crittenton Home Care nurse can visit you within 24 hours of returning home once requested.

Crittenton’s Private Duty Home Care services assist in making sure you are home safely and can follow-up with your doctor. Our Care on the Go program provides a trained aide to drive you to doctor’s appointments, pick up prescriptions and can prepare a meal before leaving your home or place of residence.  Private Duty Home Care also offers House Call Visits and a Safe at Home Program with medication reminders, personal care and light house-keeping.
