Discharge Planning Support at Home in Cerritos, CA

Organized Discharge Transitions for Cerritos Families

Cerritos is one of the most family-oriented cities in the Gateway region – the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, excellent schools, well-maintained residential neighborhoods, and a diverse community of Filipino, Korean, Chinese, Indian, and Latino families who chose Cerritos for its safety and quality of life. When a family member is discharged from the hospital, that orderly life suddenly has a new set of demands. Medication schedules, nursing visits, therapy coordination, insurance questions, and home safety concerns all hit at once. HarvardCare’s licensed medical social worker comes to your Cerritos home to organize the transition so your family can focus on support and recovery.

For Families Managing It All

Cerritos families are used to managing busy lives – work, school, activities, community involvement. Adding post-hospital care coordination to that mix can feel like too much. Our social worker takes the coordination off your plate. She arranges nursing visits, schedules physical therapy and occupational therapy, reviews medications, conducts a home safety evaluation, and verifies your Medicare benefits – all organized in one thorough visit at your Cerritos home.
