Support that helps make recovery at home easier.
We can coordinate with your healthcare providers and family to help make your post-hospital recovery feel more comfortable and manageable at home, in a rehab facility, or wherever healing takes place.
Here’s how transitional care can help:
- Timely support – care can often begins within 24 hours, helping make the transition home or to a rehab facility smoother.
- Help staying on track – gentle motivation to participate in therapy, movement, and daily routines.
- Medication and appointment help – from picking up prescriptions to helping you get to follow-up appointments, we help take care of the everyday tasks.
- Support for healthy routines – help with meals, hydration, rest, and daily structure.
- Reduced isolation – meaningful conversation can greatly help improve mood during a vulnerable time.
- Added safety and supervision – extra support to help reduce risks that may lead to setbacks or unnecessary hospital readmissions.

Transitional care FAQs
This is one of the most common needs our Markham team encounters.
A family may learn that their loved one can return home but discover that the government-funded care hours don’t cover all the assistance actually needed.
Home Instead can help fill those gaps with private home care. Our nurse-led team assesses the situation, creates a care plan, and coordinates additional support around the services already available.
In some situations, yes. Families often ask us whether a loved one’s needs have become too complex for home or whether moving into a care setting is the only option.
Home Instead Markham provides hospital-to-home care, Nurse Directed Care, chronic condition support, live-in care, and 24-hour care.
Our nurses assess the person’s needs and oversee the care plan to determine what support can appropriately be provided at home.
Our Markham team can typically begin care within 24 hours, depending on the client’s needs and available staffing.
When a discharge is approaching, contacting us early gives our nurses and care team time to understand what support will be required, develop the care plan, and coordinate Care Pros.
