How we work with referral partners.
You Initiate the Referral
Contact us by phone or email. We deliver a personal response the same business day from a senior team member who has full authority to approve and advance the referral.
Intake and In-Home Assessment
For hospital discharges, we complete the in-home assessment within 24 hours of initial contact. For all other referrals, we schedule promptly and efficiently, providing written confirmation of the timeline so you can coordinate care with complete confidence.
Individualized Care Plan and Caregiver Confirmation
We develop a tailored care plan informed by your discharge instructions, our comprehensive assessment, and the family's specific insights. The selected caregiver is formally confirmed with both you and the family prior to the first visit.
Continuous Communication and Partnership
Throughout the care relationship, we proactively monitor for any changes, clinical, behavioral, or safety-related, and promptly notify the family. With their consent, we keep you fully informed, ensuring seamless alignment across the entire care team.
