Discharge Planning Support at Home in Van Nuys, CA

Central Valley Discharge Planning for Van Nuys Families

Van Nuys is the working heart of the San Fernando Valley – the civic center, the courthouse, the airport, and mile after mile of residential neighborhoods where diverse families from Latin America, Armenia, the Philippines, and beyond have built their lives along Victory, Sherman Way, and Van Nuys Boulevards. When a family member is discharged from the hospital, Van Nuys families need practical, organized help – not a bureaucratic runaround. HarvardCare sends a licensed medical social worker to your Van Nuys home to handle every element of the post-hospital transition directly and efficiently.

Practical Help for Practical People

Our social worker doesn’t come to your Van Nuys home to hand you a brochure. She comes to schedule the nurse, review the medications, check the bathroom for grab bars, explain what Medicare covers, and make sure someone in the family knows what a dangerous symptom looks like. She arranges nursing visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medication management, and home safety modifications. And she provides caregiver training so your family is equipped, not overwhelmed.

What Gets Done at Your Van Nuys Home

• Discharge instructions explained in your family’s language
• Skilled nursing and therapy arranged around your schedule
• All medications reviewed for errors and interactions
• Home assessed for fall risks and modifications arranged
• Medicare verified and coverage explained
• Family caregiver roles assigned and training provided
