Discharge Planning

Leaving the Hospital
We hope your stay at CCM Health was pleasant and helpful. Although you won’t be staying any longer, your continued health care is still important to us.
CCM Health offers discharge planning by a Registered Nurse to all in-patients. Only your provider can authorize your release from the hospital, but the actual discharge planning process will begin early on in your admission to the hospital. The discharge planner will meet with you and your loved ones to determine what you need to make a smooth transition from one level of care to the next.
The discharge planner will make referrals as needed to community resources including:
- Skilled Nursing Facilities (Nursing Homes)
- Skilled Swing Bed
- Assisted Living
- Home Health Care
- Adult Day Services
- Durable Medical Equipment
- Social Services
- Financial Services
- Housing
- Meals on Wheels
- Transportation Resources
On Your Way Out?
Our hospital’s policy states that a member of the nursing staff must accompany you to your car at the time of your discharge. Consider this one last touch of personal care from your hometown health care family.
