Transition Care for Hendersonville and Gallatin
Testimonials
I have been extremely happy with Preferred Care!! I needed them for a short time after my mom fell and they came through with wonderful, caring people who made my mom's recovery so much easier. Thank you all Preferred Care personnel- I would use their services again!!
Preferred Care at Home assisted with care for a dear friend that was sent home from rehab unexpectedly with no mobility.
My mother has been utilizes the services of Preferred Care after a stroke caused her to require more help in order to maintain her independent living level at Clarendale in Hendersonville, TN. When she initially needed extra care, I was able to book someone almost immediately for an emergent need. As she has improved, the perfect amount of care has been offered with flexible scheduling and the option to use as few as one or two hours a day if needed.
Transition Care Services
Transitioning from a hospital or rehabilitation facility back to the comfort and familiarity of home is a critical period. It is often a time when the risk of health setbacks is at its highest. At Sumner In-Home Care, we understand these challenges and have partnered with Preferred Care at Home to provide dedicated transition care services. Our goal is to ensure a safe and seamless return home, helping prevent costly and stressful hospital readmissions, and allowing for a focused, uninterrupted recovery in Hendersonville and the surrounding areas.
What is Transition Care?
Transition care is a specialized form of in-home support designed for individuals who have recently been discharged from a hospital or other medical facility. This type of care focuses on bridging the gap between clinical settings and the home environment. The period immediately following a discharge is vulnerable for many reasons: managing new medications, understanding complex doctor's instructions, and a lack of immediate support can lead to avoidable health complications. Our partner's services are tailored to address these specific needs, ensuring a smooth and effective recovery.

The comprehensive transition care programs offered by our partners are a proactive solution to this widespread issue. By providing professional, attentive support, they help minimize the risk of a return to the hospital.

This specialized support is crucial in helping individuals regain their independence and confidence at home.
