Care that puts your recovery first.

Recovering from a hospital stay can feel overwhelming. Whether your stay was a planned surgery or an unexpected illness, you may leave with more questions than answers. Our Providence, RI-based Care Pros are here to help—bridging the gap with compassion, companionship, and steady encouragement. We can coordinate with your healthcare providers and family to help make your post-hospital recovery feel more comfortable and manageable at home, in a rehab facility, or wherever healing takes place.

Here’s how transitional care can help:

  • Quick placement – care often begins within 24 hours, helping make the transition home or to a rehab facility smoother.
  • Encouragement to stay engaged – gentle motivation to participate in therapy, movement, and daily routines.
  • Medication and appointment help – from picking up prescriptions to helping you get to follow-up appointments, we help take care of the everyday tasks.
  • Support for healthy routines – help with meals, hydration, rest, and daily structure.
  • Reduced isolation – meaningful conversation can greatly help improve mood during a vulnerable time.
  • Added safety and supervision – extra support to help reduce risks that may lead to setbacks or unnecessary hospital readmissions.

Meaningful transitional care for every step of recovery.

Our transitional care services support both physical and emotional well-being, bringing structure and connection to the recovery process wherever it takes place.

At home, we can provide one-on-one support with daily routines, help with personal care, and assistance moving around the house. Having someone there consistently can help post-hospital recovery feel less overwhelming.

In hospitals or rehab centers throughout Providence, RI, staff often care for many patients at once. Our Care Pros provide additional companionship and personal attention. We work alongside facility care teams to support routines, encourage activity, and offer emotional reassurance, so care feels more connected and supportive.

Transitional Care FAQs

Our Providence team can typically begin care within 24 hours.

That can give families another option when a discharge date arrives quickly and an older adult will need help once home. We can build the initial schedule around the person’s current needs, including personal care, companionship, transportation, or more frequent assistance.

Yes. Our local team works with Encompass Rehab Hospital in connection with personal care. We also work with Briarcliffe Manor.

These relationships are relevant when an older adult needs additional help at home. Our team can typically begin care within 24 hours and build a schedule around the support the person needs after their transition.

Yes. Transportation is one of the services our Providence-area clients can receive.

A Care Pro can provide transportation to a medical appointment or help with shopping and other outings included in the care plan. This can be especially useful when someone is back home but isn’t ready or able to drive independently.

We can build care around those specific times.

Someone might need morning assistance getting ready for the day, shower help on certain days, or an evening visit before bed. Care doesn’t have to become an all-day schedule simply because someone needs extra support after returning home.

Most of our Care Pros are CNAs, and our local office also has three nurses on staff.
