Discharge Planning Support at Home in Westwood, CA

UCLA-Adjacent Discharge Planning for Westwood Residents

Westwood is defined by UCLA – the campus, the medical center, Westwood Village, and residential neighborhoods of condos, apartments, and single-family homes that surround one of the world’s great universities. UCLA Medical Center is literally in the neighborhood, and many Westwood residents receive their surgical care there. But even with UCLA minutes away, the post-hospital transition requires coordination that the hospital’s discharge team doesn’t have time to provide. HarvardCare’s licensed medical social worker comes to your Westwood home to bridge the gap between UCLA’s excellence and your daily reality at home.

UCLA Protocol Expertise

Many Westwood patients are discharged from UCLA Medical Center with detailed, institution-specific protocols. Our social workers are experienced with UCLA’s wound care orders, therapy progressions, and medication regimens. We coordinate nursing visits that follow UCLA protocols precisely, arrange physical therapy and occupational therapy aligned with your surgeon’s timeline, and set up medication management that matches UCLA’s pharmacy recommendations.

Condo and Apartment Expertise

Much of Westwood is condo and apartment living – from Wilshire corridor high-rises to the apartments near the Village. Our social worker navigates building access, assesses compact spaces for post-hospital safety, and coordinates services appropriate to your floor plan.
