Post-Hospital Care is hands-on support during the vulnerable period right after your parent or loved one leaves the hospital. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s the practical, experienced presence that keeps discharge anxiety from becoming a crisis. We focus on the weeks when falls happen, medications get confused, and follow-up appointments slip through the cracks.
On a typical day, you’ll have a caregiver in your home during the hours you’ve identified as most risky. They’ll watch for medication timing, help with movement around the house, attend appointments with your parent, and call you with honest updates about how recovery is actually going. They’re alert to small changes, the kind that predict bigger problems. They’re there when you can’t be.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge from the inside. When you work with us in Lisbon, you’re working with people who’ve seen what happens when families go it alone in those first weeks, and who know the William W. Backus Hospital discharge process because we’re part of this community. That experience shapes everything we do.
Our founder is a nurse who remembers the exact moment a family realized they weren’t ready to manage alone after discharge. We built this service because we know hospital anxiety is real, falls happen fast, and medication errors are easier than you’d think. We don’t minimize what you’re feeling.
You don’t get a rotation of unfamiliar faces. We listen to what your parent needs, what makes them feel safe, what your family’s schedule actually looks like. Then we bring someone specific into your home who fits. We do the work upfront so the first day feels right.
If your caregiver can’t make it, you don’t scramble. If your parent’s condition changes and you need guidance, you call us. We’re local, we answer, and we adjust because Post-Hospital Care is time-sensitive work.
We understand the William W. Backus Hospital discharge pattern, we know Lisbon neighborhoods and where your parent might be at higher fall risk, and we coordinate with the local providers you’re already working with. Being local matters.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.
Why families trust us

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver comes during the hours you've scheduled, usually 4 to 8 hours a day. They help your parent with movement, remind and supervise medications, prepare meals if needed, attend appointments with written notes for you, and watch for signs of infection, pain, confusion, or falls. They're not providing medical care, but they're trained to spot what changed and tell you immediately. You get a call or text at the end of each shift.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us right away. The faster you reach out, the faster we can interview your parent, understand the discharge instructions, and bring someone into your home. We've worked with families and the hospital discharge team enough that the process moves quickly. If you're reading this and your parent is still in the hospital, call us now so we can coordinate.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, which means you're paying directly for the service. We're not a medical home health agency, so insurance typically doesn't cover us. But the cost is often less than you'd expect for full-time professional presence, and many families find the peace of mind is worth it. We're transparent about pricing upfront so there are no surprises.
Home health aides come through medical agencies when a doctor orders skilled nursing care, usually for wound care or physical therapy oversight. Post-Hospital Care is what you hire when discharge anxiety is real, when your parent isn't medically fragile but isn't confident either, and when you need someone experienced watching for falls and medication mistakes. We focus on the practical, daily safety. Home health is medical oversight. We're different services for different needs.
Yes. We listen to your parent's personality, what hours work for your schedule, whether they prefer someone quieter or more chatty, and what their biggest anxiety is after discharge. We know caregivers in our network well enough to make matches that work, not just fill slots. If it's not right after a few days, we talk about adjusting. The match matters.
We cover it. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we bring in a backup who's already familiar with your parent's situation and your home. You don't have to scramble or cancel. We keep continuity so your parent doesn't lose confidence during a fragile time. You'll know in advance if there's any change to the schedule.
