Our Services
FamilyFirst™ Transition Program

Professional transitional care services for patients returning home

Seeing a loved one become well enough to return home from the hospital, respite center, emergency department, or Skilled Nursing facility is wonderful. However, the focus now is ensuring that the person gets the continuing care they need when recovering from illness, injury, surgery, or after a chronic condition diagnosis.

Post-discharge, the person suddenly lacks many of the supports they need, including assistance with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as bathing, grooming, toileting, meal preparation, and medication management.

The FamilyFirst™ Transition Program from Always Family makes discharge planning in Texas easy. We provide quality at-home patient-centered care services delivered by trained, insured, and bonded care teams committed to providing the best care experience possible.

FIND A CAREGIVER NEAR YOU

Your FamilyFirst™ Transition Program Team

Every member of our care team is ready to support your loved one with fast, efficient, and compassionate care as soon as the patient is about to be discharged from a healthcare facility.

Senior Living Advisors

An Always Family Senior Care Advisor will meet with your family to help determine if home care is the most practical option for the recovering patient. The Advisor will take the time to answer all of your questions, provide information about our comprehensive transition care program, and put you in touch with one of our RN Care Coordinators to help facilitate the care process.

RN Care Coordinator

Your RN Care Coordinator will oversee every aspect of your loved one’s care right from the beginning. They’ll help you with discharge planning, manage the transition home, develop a personalized care plan, and supervise the team of caregivers. The RN Care Coordinator will also work with your primary medical team to keep them updated on your loved one’s ongoing recovery and care program.

Trained and Certified Caregivers

Every Always Family caregiver is professionally trained and qualified to provide safe, quality patient care. We thoroughly screen each caregiver with background checks before we bond and insure them through our company. Our care team is committed to supporting your loved one and updating you and the RN Care Coordinator on the patient’s progress.

Our FamilyFirst™ Transition Program

Many older adults want to receive care at home, where they’ve enjoyed decades of happy memories. Our FamilyFirst™ Transition Program helps your loved one settle into their new patient-centered care experience surrounded by familiar comforts and loving family.

Personalized health care plan

Our caregivers operate as an extension of your loved one’s primary care team.

Everyone is kept updated on the recovery progress and will make recommendations on tweaking the care plan when needed.

Personal Care

Our caregivers will assist your loved one with personal care tasks, including bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and more so the person feels clean and comfortable. We carry out these tasks with compassion, patience, and respect, making special efforts to maintain your loved one’s dignity at all times.
