The strongest discharge plans start with matching acuity to actual community capability. For assisted living, this means confirming safe transfers, toileting support, medication oversight, and engagement programming. For memory care, add secured environments, behavior-support training, and predictable routines for disorientation or anxiety.
When these elements align before referral, readmissions drop significantly. Families feel supported, patients stabilize faster, and clinical teams avoid the revolving-door effect that strains everyone. Fit-first isn’t a slogan, it’s a safety strategy.
