Recovery care at home, with a steady hand

In-home help after surgery, illness or a hospital stay across Southern California. Mobility, personal care, meals and rides to follow-up appointments.

“The first weeks home after the hospital are when a little extra help matters most.”

Discharge often comes with a day's notice and a stack of instructions. Era Life Care, a Best of Home Care® Provider of Choice, can set up care around your discharge date, starting with a free visit at home.

Can care start the day I leave the hospital?

Often, yes. Call us before discharge and we'll plan around your date.

Do you provide nursing or physical therapy?

Our caregivers provide non-medical support. They help with prescribed exercises and work alongside your doctors and therapists.

How long does recovery care last?

As long as you need it. Many clients start with more hours and reduce them as they recover.
