Advanced Care at Home is a program for people who are sick enough to be in a hospital setting but not so sick that they need surgery, invasive procedures or advanced imaging. People who enter the program might have an acute-level condition that needs inpatient-quality care. Examples include heart failure, pneumonia, a bloodstream infection or bronchitis.
If you have a condition that might qualify for hospital-quality care at home, consider these questions:
- Are you interested in shortening your hospital stay?
- Are you interested in receiving hospital-quality care in the comfort and safety of your own home?
- Would you prefer to have services such as infusions or physical therapy on your schedule, not the hospital’s?
- Can you commit to scheduling appointments with people who would come to your home to deliver services?
