Transitional Care That Supports a Safe Return Home

The transition from hospital, rehabilitation, or skilled nursing care back to home can feel uncertain. Even when discharge plans are clear, the adjustment period often brings new routines, medications, and mobility challenges.

At Hawkins Heart In-Homecare, our transitional care services are designed to bridge that gap—providing support during the critical days and weeks after discharge so individuals can recover safely and confidently at home.

This type of care isn’t about replacing medical providers. It’s about reinforcing care plans and helping families navigate the transition with less stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What services do you provide?

Our services include companion care, personal care, medication and routine support, mobility and safety assistance, transitional care, respite care, and 24/7 or live-in care when needed.

How do I know if home care is right for my loved one?

Home care may be a good fit if daily tasks are becoming more difficult, safety is becoming a concern, or your loved one needs extra support to remain independent at home.

Many families turn to home care when they notice challenges with mobility, personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, transportation, or social isolation. Our team can help assess your situation and recommend a level of support that fits your family's needs.

What is the difference between home care and home health care?

Home care focuses on non-medical support that helps individuals remain safe and independent at home. This may include companionship, personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and help with daily activities.

Home health care is typically prescribed by a physician and involves skilled medical services such as nursing care, physical therapy, or wound care.

Hawkins Heart specializes in non-medical in-home care designed to support everyday living and provide peace of mind for families.

How much does in-home care cost?

The cost of in-home care depends on each person's needs, schedule, and level of support required.

Whether your loved one needs a few hours of assistance each week or around-the-clock care, we create personalized care plans designed to provide the right level of support. Contact us for a free consultation and customized care assessment.
