Care Coordination

Care Coordination is a free service designed to help clients manage their health after returning home from the hospital. Clients benefit from personalized support and a range of services offered directly by Homage. Results include increased confidence in navigating the healthcare system and greater awareness of and access to community resources. We have experience working with older adults and people with disabilities and are happy to talk with you further about how to support you as you transition home.

Homage Care Coordinators receive referrals from Providence Everett and Swedish Edmonds as well as local medical providers. Care Coordinators meet with patients to schedule their first visit, either in the hospital or when they return home. This visit will include an initial evaluation and preliminary care plan development tailored to the client’s specific needs. Care Coordinators assist clients in reviewing and better understanding their health status, identifying ‘red flags’ that may lead to risk of readmission, ensuring follow-up appointments and transportation are scheduled, reviewing medication adherence, and coordinating resources to encourage recovery. Resources provided directly by Homage include in-home care coordination, transportation, meal delivery, and fall prevention education.
