About The Transition Team

Our Transition Team is a supplemental care unit of highly skilled nurses whose primary focus is to quickly and efficiently support patients transitioning home while permanent nursing staff are actively recruited.

Transition Team nurses provide nursing care for all authorized hours in the home during a provisional period of 1-90 days. During this time, our office team recruits permanent caregivers. Once identified, those caregivers are given the opportunity to train and shadow alongside Transition Team nurses in the home before assuming independent care. After the transition is complete, Transition Team nurses move on to support the next new admission‑providing variety, consistency, and meaningful impact in patient care.
