After-Hospital Senior Care in Farmington Hills, MI
Your parent just got discharged from Corewell Health Beaumont Farmington Hills — and the discharge nurse handed you a stack of papers, a list of medications, and a timeline you're not sure you can manage alone. The first 48 hours at home after a hospital stay are when readmission risk is highest. Our company's caregivers step in the same day, helping with everything from organizing prescriptions to ensuring safe mobility around the house.
What Our Home Care Agency Provides
We provide non-medical home care starting the day your loved one leaves the hospital. Our Farmington Hills caregivers handle medication reminders, light meal preparation following any dietary restrictions from the discharge plan, safe bathroom transfers, and companionship during the vulnerable early days of recovery. We coordinate with your home health nurse so nothing falls through the cracks.
Coming Home from Rehab in Farmington Hills
When Farmington Hills families bring a parent home after a rehab stay — often from a Medicare-rated facility such as Corewell Health Rehab & Nursing Center – Commons right here in Farmington Hills, or Corewell Health Farmington Hills Hospital right here in Farmington Hills — the first 30 days at home are the highest-risk window for falls and hospital readmission. Our caregivers coordinate the handoff so the gains made in rehab don't slip away the first week back.
What our caregivers do between therapy visits
Skilled physical and occupational therapy visits — typically through a Medicare-certified home health agency — usually happen two or three times per week after a rehab discharge. The other 165 hours of the week are where falls happen. Our caregivers reinforce the therapist's program between visits: cueing the prescribed gait pattern, standing by during transfers, walking through the bathing and dressing sequence, and watching for the early warning signs (sudden confusion, refusing meals, unsteady gait) that often precede a readmission. We document what we see and share it with the family and the home health nurse.
Medicare's coverage stops at the rehab door
Medicare's Part A skilled nursing benefit covers up to 100 days of rehab in a qualifying facility — but the moment a parent comes home, the hands-on assistance (bathing, dressing, mobility, meal prep) becomes the family's responsibility. Medicare's home health benefit covers the therapist and the nurse, not the day-to-day caregiver. That gap is exactly what our agency fills. Personal-care support in Southeast Michigan typically runs $29–$37 per hour — most families start with 4–6 hours per day during the first week home, then taper as the parent regains independence.

Why the First 48 Hours Matter Most
Nearly 1 in 5 Medicare patients are readmitted within 30 days of discharge — and many of those readmissions happen in the first week. In Farmington Hills, families often leave Corewell Health Beaumont or Botsford Hospital feeling overwhelmed by the transition. Discharge instructions can be confusing, especially when managing multiple new medications. Our caregivers have supported hundreds of hospital-to-home transitions in the Farmington Hills area, and they know how to spot warning signs before they become emergencies.

What Hospital-to-Home Care Looks Like in Farmington Hills
Every recovery is different. A hip replacement patient at Beaumont needs mobility support and fall prevention. Someone discharged after pneumonia needs hydration monitoring and rest. Our care plans are built around the specific discharge instructions your family receives — not a generic template. We work with families across Farmington Hills neighborhoods from the Costick Center area to the Heritage Park corridors, adapting to each home's layout and each patient's personality.
Coordinating With Your Medical Team
We're not a replacement for skilled nursing — we're the support system that makes skilled nursing visits more effective. When your home health nurse visits twice a week, our caregiver ensures the patient has followed the care plan in between. We track what your loved one ate, how they slept, whether they took their medications on time, and any changes in behavior or comfort level. That information helps your nurse make better clinical decisions.
Coordinating the Handoff from Corewell Health Beaumont Farmington Hills
The Farmington Hills campus on Grand River discharges patients quickly, and most families learn the actual go-home time the morning of discharge. We staff our intake line so a care plan can be confirmed within the hour, and our office at 30640 W 12 Mile Rd. is an 8-minute drive from the hospital entrance — which means a caregiver can meet the family at the curb if needed. Founder Austin Adair built this rapid-start protocol after spending years watching neighbors return home with paperwork no one had time to explain. We physically pick up discharge instructions, prescriptions, and any new durable medical equipment so the family is not making three pharmacy stops on the drive home.
Working With Farmington Hills Skilled Nursing and Sub-Acute Partners
There are six skilled nursing facilities within 5 miles of Farmington Hills city center, including the Heartland and Regency campuses off Halsted and Twelve Mile. When a hospital stay turns into a SNF rehab admission, we coordinate the eventual transition home so day one back in the house isn't another scramble. Our office documents the SNF's discharge plan, contacts the home health agency assigned by Medicare, and slots our caregiver hours around physical therapy visits. Greg Adair, our RN clinical lead, reviews the SNF discharge summary so anything that needs Registered-Nurse-level eyes is flagged before the first shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about after-hospital care in Farmington Hills.
How quickly can you start after-hospital care in Farmington Hills?
We can often have a caregiver in place the same day or next morning after discharge from Corewell Health Beaumont Farmington Hills or Botsford Hospital. Call us as soon as you know the discharge date and we will coordinate timing.
Does Medicare cover home care after hospital discharge?
Medicare covers skilled home health services like nursing and physical therapy, but not non-medical home care such as bathing assistance, meal preparation, or companionship. Our services fill the gap that home health does not cover.
What does after-hospital home care typically cost in Oakland County?
Home care companies in Southeast Michigan average $29–$37/hour for personal care, with a 4-hour minimum per visit and 12-hour weekly minimum. Most families start with 4-6 hours per day during the first week of recovery, then adjust based on progress.
Can your caregivers help with physical therapy exercises?
Our caregivers are not licensed therapists, but they can encourage and assist with prescribed exercises between PT visits. They help ensure your loved one follows through on the therapist instructions safely, reducing the risk of falls during recovery.
Will your caregiver pick up prescriptions on the way to my Farmington Hills home after discharge?
Yes. If a family asks during intake, our Farmington Hills caregivers can stop at the pharmacy of choice — typically the CVS or Walgreens on Twelve Mile or Orchard Lake — on the way to the home, so medications are organized before the patient arrives. We confirm the prescription was sent electronically by the Beaumont discharge team before we leave the office.
Why Farmington Hills Families Trust Us
Austin Adair, our founder, has coordinated post-discharge handoffs from Corewell Health Beaumont Farmington Hills and other Southeast Michigan hospitals for two decades. Most discharges to our Ramblewood, Independence Commons, and Kendallwood client homes are inside a 10-minute drive of our 12 Mile Rd. office, so the first home visit happens the same afternoon.
