At Affinity Health, we understand the urgency and importance of smooth transitions from hospital to home. Discharge planning is complex — balancing patient safety, family readiness, and the need for efficient bed flow. That’s why we offer Transitional Care services delivered within 4 hours to hospitals and healthcare providers across Ontario. 

Our goal is simple: to help you discharge patients safely and confidently, knowing they’ll have immediate support at home. 

 

Why Transitional Care Matters 

Every moment counts when patients are ready for discharge. Without the right support, patients face higher risks of complications, readmissions, or caregiver burnout. Transitional care acts as the essential bridge between hospital care and full recovery at home. 

Key benefits of effective transitional care include: 

  • Reducing avoidable hospital readmissions 
  • Improving patient outcomes and satisfaction 
  • Ensuring medication compliance and mobility support 
  • Easing the pressure on families during a critical adjustment period 
  • Supporting hospitals with efficient patient flow and bed management 

 

Our Promise: Care Within 4 Hours 

Affinity Health’s Transitional Care program is built for speed, safety, and compassion. 

When you refer a patient, we guarantee: 

  • Home care services delivered within 4 hours of discharge 
  • A personalized care plan tailored to the patient’s immediate needs 
  • Coordination with hospital staff to ensure a seamless transition 
  • Ongoing communication to monitor patient progress and adjust care if needed 

Whether your patient requires personal care, medication support, mobility assistance, or caregiver relief, our team is ready to step in — fast. 

 

Who We Support 

Our Transitional Care services are ideal for patients who: 

  • Are medically stable but still need help with daily living activities 
  • Have limited family support or live alone 
  • Require temporary help following surgery, illness, or hospitalization 
  • Need help managing new medications or mobility changes 
  • Are at high risk for readmission without support 

We offer flexible care options, ranging from a few hours a day to full 24-hour support, depending on the patient’s needs. 

 

Working Together to Improve Outcomes 

We understand the pressures hospital teams face in managing safe, timely discharges. 

Affinity Health’s Transitional Care program is designed to be a partner in your discharge planning process — not just another service provider.
We prioritize clear communication, fast response times, and patient-centered care to ensure you and your patients feel fully supported. 

Our experienced Care Coordinators are available to discuss referrals, help identify the right service level, and coordinate care logistics so your team can focus on what you do best — delivering excellent hospital care.
