Going Home

NorthEast Inpatient Services physicians care for your health needs while in the hospital and release all records to your Primary Care or referring physician. Once you are home, patients are encouraged to follow up with their primary care physician for any healthcare needs that may arise.

When you are well enough to go home, a patient escort will accompany you from your room to the patient departure area. Although most patients choose to ride in a wheelchair, you are welcome to walk. For your safety, however, you must be accompanied by a patient escort.

Being Discharged
When a hospitalized patient is released from the hospital, either to go home or to another care facility, our Case Management Department is there every step of the way. Registered Nurses and Clinical Social Workers can assist patients and their families with any needs they may have, from insurance to home health care and everywhere in between.

Area Services
If special care is needed upon being released from the hospital, our home healthcare department, Advanced Home Care, can provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy services either in your home or in several outpatient facilities in our area.

In addition, terminally ill patients and their families may need the extra care and support that Hospice and Palliative Care of Cabarrus County can provide. Read more about Hospice services or contact them at 704.788-9434.
