BCHS@Home
The BCHS@Home Program is a home care program that helps adults who no longer require hospital care to continue their recovery, healing and rehabilitation in the comfort of their own homes. This referral-based rehabilitation program focuses on maximizing the functional independence of the person and supporting a seamless transition from hospital to home.
The BCHS@Home Program helps to build connections to care in the community.
- Reduce Alternate Level of Care (ALC) Rates by helping patients return home sooner and connecting them with services in the community.
- Prevent Readmission to help patients remain at home longer by delivering the right service at the right time, in the right place.
The BCHS@Home Program offers a bundled care approach to home care delivery for up to 16 weeks after discharge.
- This model of care may include nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, social work, dietitian, speech language pathology, personal support, case management, and equipment rental (when recommended and required).
Referrals to BCHS@Home are made by a member of the hospital care team and our BCHS@Home Coordinator meets with potential patients to make sure this program is the right fit. Together with the hospital team and service provider Bayshore, the BCHS@Home Coordinator will help patients identify realistic, obtainable goals to improve functional independence and reduce care needs.
