Awareness Option for Families After Discharge

Resources for Discharge and Case Managers

What This Is

This page explains a complementary awareness option, Alerta Home, that families sometimes explore during or shortly after discharge from a hospital, rehabilitation facility, or skilled nursing setting.

Discharge managers and case managers are often asked how families can stay informed once formal services are reduced or intermittent—- especially when responsibility shifts quickly from clinical teams to family caregivers.

Alerta Home is a passive awareness system designed to provide context about movements or activities, without cameras, recorders, or wearables.

Who This Is For

  • Families navigating a transition from inpatient to home-based care.
  • Individuals who will spend time alone between post-discharge visits.
  • Families seeking context without introducing intrusive technology.
  • Families prioritizing dignity, privacy, and autonomy.

When Families Typically Consider This

  • During hospital or rehabilitation discharge planning.
  • When returning home after a short-term inpatient stay.
  • When home health or caregiver visits are scheduled but not continuous.
  • When families are unsure what “normal” will look like after discharge.
  • When distance or work schedules limit in-person oversight.

How Discharge Managers
Use This Resource

Use of this resource is always optional. Discharge planners may share this resource:

  • As part of informational materials provided to families returning home.
  • To support conversations about staying informed during the early transition period.
  • As an optional educational reference families can review after discharge.

When To Introduce It

  • During discharge preparation when discussing home-transition planning.
  • When families ask how to stay informed during the first weeks at home.
  • When the care plan involves intermittent caregiver visits or family check-ins.
  • When families want reassurance tools that do not involve cameras or wearables.
