Hospital-to-Home Transition in Metro Vancouver

Hospital-to-home care supports someone in the days and weeks after a hospital stay, when the risk of a fall or a return trip to hospital is highest. We help with the trip home, get the house ready, and provide personal care and daily help until the person is back on their feet.

What's included

Help planning for discharge day
A ride home and help settling in
Setting up the home safely before arrival
Personal care, meals and medication reminders
Rides to follow-up appointments
Hours that taper off as recovery progresses

Who it's for

Anyone coming home after surgery, a fall, a stroke or a long illness, and families who live too far away or work too much to cover the first weeks themselves.

How it starts

Call or send the form below. A care coordinator visits for a free in-home assessment, checks the bathroom and home for safety risks, recommends a starting plan, and introduces your two or three caregivers before the first visit. Hours change whenever your needs do, with no long-term contract.

Hospital-to-Home Transition: common questions

When should we call about hospital-to-home care?

As soon as a discharge date is likely, ideally a few days before. That gives us time to meet you, plan the first visits and get the home ready.

Does the hospital arrange home care?

Hospital staff can refer someone for a health authority assessment for subsidized home support. That help can take time to start and has limits on hours. Private care can start right away and fill the gap.

How long does hospital-to-home care last?

As long as it is needed. Many families start with more hours in the first week or two and reduce them as recovery progresses.
