The Advanced Care at Home Program offers patients skilled nursing services in the comfort of their own homes, focusing on improving functional outcomes while reducing the cost of rehabilitative care. By leveraging a robust digital infrastructure and health care providers, we bring high-quality care directly to patients.
The program is designed to provide skilled care for patients with higher acuity needs in a home setting, rather than in a traditional skilled nursing facility. This shift represents a significant move towards home being the new venue of care, offering numerous benefits associated with healing at home.
