Help understanding your options
Returning home from a hospital, rehabilitation center, or skilled nursing facility often brings several changes at once. You may be arranging equipment, reviewing prescriptions, and planning follow-up appointments. Contacting us while discharge is being planned gives the team a chance to review the referral, location, coverage, and requested services.
We serve Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, and Ventura Counties. Tell us where care is needed, which provider is involved, and whether there is an anticipated discharge date. You can ask questions before you have all the paperwork.
