WHAT IS THE BRADENTON, FL, TRANSITION TO HOME PROGRAM?

Home Helpers® Home Care of Bradenton proudly offers our Transition to Home Program. This program supports you or your loved one during discharge from a hospital or skilled nursing/rehab facility.

TESTIMONIAL FROM A HOME HELPERS CLIENT

Kristen Curtis – “My grandfather had a stroke a few months ago and was moved to a rehab facility in Bradenton, where he lived, but I live in Orlando (2.5-hour drive). With very little notice, I was informed that he was going home. I can’t thank Home Helpers enough for the support that they gave me and my grandfather, and specifically the peace of mind of knowing that he was well cared for while I was across the state.

The aides that came in to take care of him also helped assist him with his rehab so that he was able to make a quicker recovery than if he was on his own. They gave me the impression they cared for him as much as I did. Again, I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for Home Helpers, and I would truly recommend them to anyone who needed a little extra attention for their loved one.”
