Home Life Social Services Department
Home Life's Social Services Department facilitates transition from nursing home or hospital back to the home environment. Many of the home arrangmements made by the inpatient facility fall apart once the patient is discharged home. Here is where Home Life picks up the pieces. Here are some of the things Home Life can do for you:
- Assure home health aides and visiting nurses provide care.
- Assist with durable medical equipment
- Facilitate follow up with physicians, physical therapy, and other referrals.
- Review prescriptions.
- Coordinate insurance needs
