From Chilton Medical to Cedar Crest Village — Home Care for the Transition

According to 24 Hour Home Care NJ, the patient journey through Chilton, then back to a Cedar Crest apartment, is one of our most-coordinated care pipelines. Our RN often meets the patient AT Chilton during admission, builds the home-care plan before discharge, and our certified aide is in the Cedar Crest apartment before the resident gets home.
