Get the peace of mind that comes from knowing an experienced team is ready to help you recover where you feel best—at home.
Post-Hospital Home Care When It Matters Most
If you or a loved one has recently been discharged from the hospital, the first days at home are critical. Our Welcome Home Program provides a minimum of four hours of professional support to ensure a successful transition and lower the risk of hospital readmissions.
Unlike our Key Program, which is a hospital-driven initiative that helps reduce readmission rates with nurse practitioner oversight, Welcome Home is designed for individuals and families seeking immediate, private-pay assistance. No referral is needed; simply reach out to us to arrange care.
Our caregivers can:
- Provide transportation home from the hospital or skilled nursing facility
- Support daily activities and recovery tasks
- Offer medication reminders and patient education to help avoid complications
This level of care helps prevent avoidable readmissions and keeps you on the path to wellness.

“I would absolutely recommend going with Georgetown Home Care if you are in need of private pay home care for a loved one.”
– Liza C., Washington, D.C.
“We have used Georgetown Home Care multiple times and they are terrific! Most importantly, every person they have sent has been excellent. They do a great job of vetting their people. In addition, they are very flexible. While last minute requests are difficult, they have often been able to fill needs with only a day’s notice (we try to give them 3 days at least). We live in Georgetown and they provide a great service. We highly recommend them.”
