Help is now available for COVID-19 discharged patients in Maricopa County.  Through the new Healing@Home Care Transitions Program, the Area Agency on Aging is providing COVID-19 discharged patients with comprehensive care transitioning to their home environment. 

Healing@Home will focus, for a period of at least 30 days from discharge date, on providing COVID-19 discharged patients with timely access to in-home social support services and psychosocial support services that are of greatest need including:

• Home-delivered meals

• Telephone reassurance calls

• Assistance with prescription pick-up or delivery

• Arrangement of follow up visits with PCPs

• Reinforcement of discharge plan instructions access to other community social programs and services

Eligibility is limited to individuals age 60 or older and those age 18-59 with disabilities who are discharged with a COVID-19 diagnosis.  Referrals should be made within 7 business days of discharge.

Area Agency on Aging invites health care workers and case managers to refer eligible patients discharged from hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, or skilled nursing facilities with a COVID-19 diagnosis to the Healing@Home Care Transitions Program for COVID-19 patients.  Discharged clients may also self-refer.
