Answers to common questions
What’s the difference between acute care at home and the hospital?
We offer hospital-level care. The difference is that it comes to your home. Our team is there for you 24/7 with video visits and daily care as needed. Our services include:
- Screenings and tests
- Medical equipment, like oxygen
- Special care like IVs
Am I qualified for acute care at home?
Each person and home is different. Talk to your doctor to see if you’re a good fit.
What technology will be set up in my home?
Someone will come to your house to set up the following:
- A computer or tablet for video visits
- A phone that links you directly to your care team
- A medical alert bracelet
- Devices to check your vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure
- Power backup for your equipment
How often will people visit my home?
Your care plan will include both virtual and in-home visits. Depending on your needs, your care team may come to your home one or more times a day. Visits are scheduled ahead of time, so you can plan to have someone else there with you.
Can I leave my home while receiving care?
To ensure your safety, we ask that you stay home. Just like a hospital stay, the level of activity you’re permitted will depend on how well you’re healing. Your care team will let you know when you can return to your regular routine.
How long will I be in this program?
Your care team will decide how long your program lasts. It’s usually the same length as a hospital stay. Once you’ve reached your care and wellness goals, you’ll be done.
