Discharge Planning Support at Home in Wilmington, CA

Discharge Planning for Wilmington’s Working Families

Wilmington is the closest residential community to the Port of Los Angeles – a neighborhood of Latino and Filipino families who have worked the docks, the refineries, and the local businesses along Avalon Boulevard for generations. It’s a hardworking community where people don’t have hours to spare for healthcare logistics. When a family member is discharged from the hospital, Wilmington families need someone who handles the coordination plainly and efficiently. HarvardCare sends a bilingual medical social worker to your Wilmington home to organize the entire post-hospital transition.

Shift Work and Recovery

Many Wilmington residents work port shifts or refinery schedules that don’t align with clinic hours. Our social worker arranges all services at your Wilmington home, scheduled around your family’s work commitments – nursing visits before a morning shift, therapy in the afternoon, medication management organized for independent handling. Nobody should have to choose between a paycheck and wound care.

Services Come to Your Wilmington Door

The nearest hospitals are in San Pedro, Torrance, or Long Beach. After surgery, those drives add up. Our social worker eliminates the commute by arranging every service at home.
