Transitional Care from Hospital to Home
If you or a loved one has recently experienced a major injury, illness, or health event that resulted in a hospital stay, planning your recovery is an important part of the discharge process.
Discharging from the hospital can be a hectic time. Patients and their families are bombarded with so much information that it can be difficult to take it all in. At the end of a hospital stay, you may not know what next steps to take.
NCCP can ensure a successful recovery after a scheduled surgery or extended hospital stay with the top RNs and LVNs in Northern California. Our nurses can help during this difficult transition home by providing patient and caregiver education, pain management, medication management, surgical site care and monitoring, case management, and other services to ensure the comfort of our client.
No one wants to return to the hospital, yet hospital readmissions currently affect 20 percent of patients within the first 30 days after discharge. A private nurse from NCCP provides personalized care to reduce the risk of hospital readmission and ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home.

- Medication management and administration
- Pain and symptom management
- Surgical site monitoring
- Wound care, including dressing changes
