Preparing for discharge

Our Case Management Department assists our patients through a hospitalization, whether it is acute care or swing bed, to ensure that all available resources are coordinated toward a patient's recovery.

Our Case Manager collaborates with the entire professional health care team available at Brookings Health System.

These services can include:

  • Referrals to therapies 
  • Utilization of community resources after a hospital stay such as Meals on Wheels or homemaking/bathing services or finding support groups
  • Arranging of home equipment needed
  • Easing transitions to post-hospital services such as nursing home, assisted-living, skilled home health, cardiac rehabilitation, or hospice.

Our caring staff is here to assist our patients and their families who may be experiencing a difficult, stressful, or even life-changing event.
