Kettering Home Care is a partner with Alternate Solutions Health Network.

Post-acute care is at the center of improving health outcomes. We care for patients where they spend the majority of their time – in their homes. This privileged position allows us to see things that are invisible to a patient’s primary care or hospital physician, and to deliver the best possible care tailored to each patient’s setting. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve away from hospital-centric care, our work, caring for patients in their homes becomes more important than ever. Our success helping patients recover comes from engaging with them. We start at the facility bedside and coordinate each patient’s transition back to their home, ensuring a smooth transition and that their care plan is right for them. We support complex, high-acuity, medically-at-risk aging patients. And we do this all in partnership with health systems. Together we create a seamless care environment that enables patients to receive excellent care in the setting that best meets their needs.
