Bridge Program: Free Skilled Nursing at Home
Bridge Program: 1–3 visits weekly, for 1 to 4 months. No insurance required for nursing visits. Short-term recovery support when health conditions change
The NextGen Bridge Program helps patients transition safely from hospital to home by providing free, short-term skilled nursing visits.
Our nurses step in when there’s a change in condition — such as a recent hospital stay, new medications that require teaching, or when closer monitoring and side-effect checks are needed.
The program focuses on short-term recovery and stabilization, ensuring patients and families receive the right support during vulnerable times — without financial burden
