5 steps to arrange home care after discharge
The 30 days after hospital discharge are the highest-risk window for readmission — roughly 20% of Medicare patients go back to the hospital within 30 days. NP-supervised home care during this window prevents the readmission, protects recovery, and saves $15,000+ per avoided readmission.

The post-discharge problem
20% of Medicare patients are readmitted within 30 days. The leading causes: medication errors, falls, missed follow-ups, uncontrolled symptoms. Standard home care takes 3-5 days to staff a discharge. By then your loved one has already fallen, missed meds, or been readmitted. MCM was built for this exact window.
240-789-4890. Andrea or Steve picks up. We learn the discharge situation, the hospital, the diagnosis. Often same-day visit.
Andrea reads the discharge summary, calls the hospital social worker if needed, and writes the post-discharge care plan.
Hand-matched caregiver arrives within 24-72 hours of assessment (often same-day for true crises). Andrea brings the walker, wheelchair, or commode if needed.
In their own words

“We have had the same group of ladies for at least four years. We feel as if they are part of our family.”

The MCM difference
“They immediately provided some personal care supplies as well as some durable medical equipment for us to use.”
Andrea arrives on visit one with the equipment your loved one needs — walker, wheelchair, portable commode, personal care supplies. Steve does the home safety inspection before the patient gets home. Most agencies show up with a clipboard and tell you what to order. MCM shows up with what your family needs that day.
20% of patients are readmitted within 30 days. NP-supervised home care during this window prevents the readmission. It's why MCM exists.
Same-day caregiver. Equipment in hand. NP-reviewed care plan. Most agencies need 3-5 days. By then your loved one has already fallen.
Andrea calls the hospital social worker, the discharge planner, and the attending physician. MCM is a partner to the hospital, not a competitor.
Post-discharge care · FAQs
Post-discharge care typically requires: home safety check (fall prevention, equipment placement), medication reconciliation, transportation to follow-up appointments, support with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, meal prep), monitoring for readmission warning signs, and family caregiver education. The 30 days after discharge are the highest-risk window for hospital readmission. NP-supervised home care during this window prevents readmissions and protects recovery.
Same-day. If you call MCM during business hours of the day your loved one is discharged, we can have a hand-matched caregiver in the home before sunset. Andrea Kohn, our co-founder NP, reviews the discharge summary, adjusts the care plan to match physician instructions, and a caregiver starts within hours. We've done same-day discharge support from Shady Grove, Suburban Hospital, Holy Cross, Sibley Memorial, Adventist Healthcare White Oak, and Montgomery General hundreds of times since 2004.
Medicare covers limited skilled home health (typically 60 days, physician-ordered) but does NOT cover ongoing non-skilled home care. Long-term care insurance often DOES cover post-discharge home care if the policy includes home care benefits. Private pay families typically use post-discharge home care for 30-90 days until full recovery. MCM handles LTC insurance claim filing and helps families maximize benefits during the recovery window.
MCM coordinates post-discharge care from every major MoCo hospital: Shady Grove Medical Center (Rockville), Suburban Hospital (Bethesda · Johns Hopkins), Holy Cross Hospital (Silver Spring), Sibley Memorial (Bethesda · Johns Hopkins), Adventist Healthcare White Oak (Silver Spring), and Montgomery General Hospital (Olney). We've supported families post-discharge from all of them since 2004.
Roughly 20% of Medicare patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. The most common causes: medication errors, falls, missed follow-up appointments, and uncontrolled symptoms. NP-supervised home care during the post-discharge window cuts that risk substantially. MCM's NP reviews the discharge summary, reconciles medications, performs home safety inspection, and monitors recovery — all designed to prevent the readmission that costs families $15,000+ in additional care and recovery time.
