Post-Acute Care For Patients Leaving The Hospital

While MAXhealth doctors aim to keep our patients healthy, well, and out of the hospital, we recognize that sometimes a stay in the hospital is unavoidable. When our patients require hospitalization, MAXhealth works to ensure the transition from hospital to home is safe and successful. Most importantly, we take extra care to avoid unnecessary setbacks that could lead to remissions.

A successful transition requires careful coordination and intense follow-up, and that’s why MAXhealth delivers post-acute care to our patients who need it.

A Partner In Recovery

The MAXhealth post-acute care program includes rehabilitation services and treatments after a hospital stay. For some patients, the post-acute care program requires a step-down transition to a skilled nursing facility, rehab hospital, or long-term care facility, while others receive transitional care in an outpatient setting or at home. Regardless of where you receive your post-acute care, the goals are the same:

Fewer complications
Lower hospital readmission rates
A return to independence and full function
Medication adherence

Here For Our Patients

We understand that going into the hospital can be a daunting experience, and it is our job to ensure we support patients every step of the way. While in the hospital, you may see one of our trained hospital specialists, called hospitalists, who have access to your primary care provider’s records.

Once you are discharged from the hospital, our hospitalists and primary care physicians work together to make sure you receive continued, coordinated medical care.

Home Health

As part of our acute care program, we also offer home healthcare, which can help manage or treat a variety of medical conditions, illnesses, and disabilities. This specialized support helps patients remain at home instead of checking into a skilled nursing facility or hospital.

MAXhealth also offers care at home for patients with mobility challenges, as well as onsite primary care at assisted living facilities.
