- Our hospital background lets us read a discharge report and call the right ward when in doubt.
Common questions about this care
- When should I call after a hospital discharge?
- As early as possible, ideally before discharge: the ward can send us the prescription and we arrange the first visit within 24 to 48 hours.
- Do you work with the hospital?
- Yes. We read the discharge report and call the ward when in doubt — our hospital background makes that conversation direct.
- What if the equipment is not delivered?
- Tell us: we chase the provider and adapt the care meanwhile, in agreement with the prescriber.
