The early days of the coronavirus pandemic sent many long-term care facilities into lockdown and families were faced with the decision of being separated from their loved ones or finding ways to transition them home. The call for private duty agencies to fill this gap became apparent, however, many agencies were not prepared with specialty programs or trained caregivers to facilitate the transfer of care to the home environment. This presentation will prepare private duty operators and owners with the knowledge they need to develop a transitional care program that will be a value service to hospitals, rehab facilities, long-term care facilities, payer sources and most importantly, clients and families. Grow your business quickly by putting this service line in place and improve your caregiver retention rates while elevating the need for private duty care across the continuum.
