Case Management

An alternative to sending patients home before they are ready for a home environment, Case Management works to provide nursing care with an emphasis on rehabilitation and works with the patient to prepare them for daily activities and living. This home-care setting in the hospital can assist with a smooth transition from the hospital to the home.
