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 Burlington, WI-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.

Transitional Care FAQs

We work directly with hospital discharge planners and aim to have a Care Pro ready on the day of discharge. That caregiver can assist with transportation home, mobility support, meals, medication reminders, follow-up appointment rides and reinforcing instructions from therapy or the medical team.

For clients who need durable medical equipment before returning home, we can help families connect with local resources to have what they need in place on arrival.

Care Pros are trained to recognize early warning signs — changes in balance, cognition, appetite or daily function — and to communicate those observations to families and the healthcare team promptly.

Training for hospital-to-home transitions includes high-acuity skills such as hoyer lifts, sit-to-stands, transfers, bed baths and catheter care, ensuring the Care Pro is prepared for whatever the client's discharge needs require.

Coming home after a hospital stay or procedure can bring new questions and responsibilities. Explore practical guidance for preparing for discharge, managing recovery at home, and helping make the transition safer and smoother.
