Patient Release Program
A comprehensive home preparation program designed for patients being discharged from hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and care facilities, supporting safe aging in place from day one.
Coming Home Should Feel Safe
The transition from hospital or rehabilitation back to home is one of the most vulnerable moments in a patient's recovery. Without proper home modifications, the living environment can present fall prevention risks that delay healing, cause re-injury, or lead to hospital readmission.
Aging In The Comfort Of Home® provides a thorough 50-point home safety evaluation of the living environment prior to discharge or release. Our home safety team assesses every area of the home, identifies hazards, installs necessary equipment, and ensures the living space supports a safe, confident return home and long-term independent living.
"Coming home from the hospital should feel like relief, not risk. Preparation makes the difference."
We work with families to ensure the home is fully prepared before the transition home. Every modification, installation, and safety check is completed so nothing is overlooked when your loved one arrives.
50-Point Home Safety & Preparation Evaluation
Our certified team conducts a comprehensive room-by-room assessment before your loved one comes home. Here is what the evaluation covers.
Fall Risk Assessment: We walk every room, hallway, and transition area to identify trip hazards, inadequate lighting, loose flooring, and unsafe surfaces. Grab bars, non-slip strips, and threshold modifications are installed where needed.
Equipment Installation: Hospital beds, transfer aids, shower chairs, raised toilet seats, bedside commodes, and any other recovery equipment are positioned and secured before the patient arrives home.
Accessibility Modifications: Ramp installation, doorway widening, stair lift assessment, and clear pathways for wheelchair or walker use. We make sure the patient can move safely through every part of the home.
Kitchen & Bathroom Preparation: Water temperature settings, grab bar placement, faucet accessibility, secure storage solutions, and removal of hazards from high-traffic areas. Both rooms are prepared for limited mobility use.
Prepare Your Home Before Discharge Day
A safe transition starts before your loved one leaves the hospital. Our team prepares the home with the right modifications, fall prevention features, and safety equipment so your loved one feels safe and supported the moment they walk through the door.

Why Hospital-to-Home Transitions Matter
The first weeks after discharge are the most vulnerable. Proper home preparation can help reduce fall risk and support a safer return home.
