Hospital at Home
Discover a new way to heal with our unique and innovative Hospital at Home program.
With Hospital at Home, you'll receive the same level of care and attention to detail that you'd expect from a stay in the hospital — plus, all the comforts of home to help you on your road to recovery.
Our Approach to Home Hospital Care
Health care is changing like never before. Technological advancements have allowed us to reshape the way we deliver care — offering greater personalization and convenience without compromising quality and safety.
That's where our Hospital at Home program comes in. It's an innovative initiative that allows eligible patients to complete their care and heal at home instead of a hospital room.
If you're invited to participate in this program, you can expect:
- Comfort, First and Foremost: By healing at home, you'll enjoy more rest and fewer disruptions. Studies show that, generally, people prefer this approach to care and recover just as quickly as if they had remained in the hospital.
- The Complete Toolkit: We provide an assortment of monitoring devices that are specifically connected to the Hospital at Home team. What you receive will depend upon your condition and care needs. Our team will work with you—and anyone you designate as a caregiver—to ensure you understand how to use each of the items and the function they serve.
- Connected to Care: You will have daily video consultations with a Hospital at Home physician. Home visits from Virtua clinicians are also a core component of the program. A Virtua team member will make house calls to assess your health and discuss your progress two times a day. You’ll also receive medication, blood work, imaging, and physical therapy as needed.
- From Here to There: We offer multiple means for returning you home. If you and your doctor agree you are up for it, a loved one can drive you home. If that's not the best fit, we can see you safely home in a non-emergency medical transport vehicle or ambulance.
What can I expect?
During your stay in the hospital, your team will determine if you're an eligible candidate for the program. But it's important to know that participation in the Hospital at Home program is optional. We encourage you to think it over and discuss it with your family.
In fact, you will always have the option to change your mind and request a return trip to the hospital. Based on national statistics, we think you’ll be happy with your choice and cozier at home. People typically receive care for three days.

Positive Results
Sleep is key to healing, so being away from all the activity of the hospital can help you get the rest you need. Plus, program participants typically have reduced incidences of hospital-acquired infections, falls, and readmissions to the hospital.
