Making Your Return Home Easier and Safer
With Continue Care, you have the in-home support services and treatments you need when leaving the nursing home:
- Up to 44 Days’ Worth of Medications: We’ll provide you a 14-day supply to take with you then automatically process 30-day refills* that will be shipped to your home. All your medications will come in individual packages that list the date and time you need to take each dose, eliminating any confusion.
- Safety Reviews: A pharmacist will review your medications for accuracy and safety, an extra step that is often missed if you have chronic conditions or multiple specialty providers.
- Nurse Follow Up: A nurse will conduct weekly calls starting within 48 hours of your return home to check on any issues you may be experiencing with your medications or health changes that could impact the effectiveness of your treatments.
- Home Visits: Within 10 days, a nurse practitioner will also arrange a visit your home** to review your drug usage and check on any additional health or social support services you may need.
- 24/7 On-call Support: Our nurses and pharmacists are available to answer both patient and family questions 24/7.
- Insurance Billing: We’ll handle billing your insurance directly for your medication refills.

How Continue Care Works
Continue Care combines both medication services and home health services to keep you safe and healthy once you leave the nursing home. Here’s what you can expect with the program.
Step 1: Three days before discharge, we’ll review your care planning with you and your family before you leave, including your medications
Step 2: When you’re discharged, we’ll provide you a 14-day supply of your medications to take with you
Step 3: A nurse will begin weekly phone calls within 48 hours of your return home to check on medication issues and health changes
Step 4: We’ll arrange a home-based primary care visit from a nurse practitioner* in your home to check on you, make sure you have the services you need, and address any concerns
Step 5: A 30-day medication refill* will be shipped to your home automatically in a Continue Care box
And throughout, you’ll have 24/7 access to a team of pharmacists and nurses if you or your family have any questions.
