Transition Coach Team - First Call Home Health

First Call Home Health - home health care, nursing care, rehabilitative services, social work services, and counseling services, Salem Oregon, Willamette Valley, Locally Owned, Family Operated

Our Transition Coaches help bring a wide range of community resources to our patients and bridge that gap in health care.

Our Transition Coaches are here to help with:

LIVING ENVIRONMENT: Where do they live now? How are conditions at home, how they feel about living here? Is this sustainable long term?

FUNCTIONING: (Physically and cognitively) what can they do for themselves? What are they struggling with?

SUPPORTS: Family, friends, caregivers, community programs/groups, income, transportation, tools that are helpful.

COGNITIVE: What do we see in the chart and what do we see? What is it compared to their baseline? How is it impacting their goals?

EMOTIONAL: Current coping, any mental health diagnoses that are relevant, how is it impacting their healing right now?

Rick has always been helpful and encouraging. He exchanges jokes with me to calm my blood pressure. He is very caring and has gone the extra mile to get the help I needed.

When I broke my hip I needed assistance walking. I had no transportation to shop, so Bea purchased a cane and brought it to me. I will be forever grateful for First Call and all those who gave such care!
