Things to know
The health care provider who’s managing your transition back into the community will work to coordinate and manage your care for the first 30 days after you return home. They will work with you and your family and caregiver(s), as appropriate, and with your other health care providers.

- Help you with referrals or arrangements for follow-up care or community resources
- Help you with scheduling and managing your medications.
