Questions Families Ask About Discharge
- What should be ready before discharge day?
- Before your parent leaves the hospital, families usually need a plan for the ride home, who will be there when they arrive, prescription pickup, food and basic supplies at home, and the follow-up appointment date. Lone Star Senior Care helps coordinate those practical, non-medical steps and keeps the family informed.
- How fast can coordination start?
- It depends on when discharge will happen and what is needed. Call or text (832) 228-4140 as soon as you know a discharge is coming — the earlier we know, the more we can prepare before your parent comes home.
- What do we need from the hospital?
- Helpful information includes the expected discharge date and time, the discharge instructions, the prescription list, and any follow-up appointments the hospital schedules. You do not need to have all of it before you contact us — tell us what you know and we will help you organize the rest.
- Do you provide medical care or hands-on care after discharge?
- No. Lone Star Senior Care provides non-medical coordination and practical support. We do not provide skilled nursing, medical treatment, medication administration, bathing, transfers, wound care, or other hands-on personal care. We coordinate trusted providers and services on your family's behalf. For medical questions, contact your parent's medical team; for a medical emergency, call 911.
- ¿Ayudan en español después del alta hospitalaria?
- Sí. Lone Star Senior Care ofrece ayuda práctica y coordinación no médica en Houston después del alta hospitalaria, en inglés y en español. Llame o envíe un mensaje de texto al (832) 228-4140.

Discharge-to-Home Coordination is Lone Star Senior Care's program for the days around a hospital discharge. One local coordinator — founder Jorge Ordaz — organizes the non-medical pieces of getting your parent home and settled: the ride, the prescriptions, the food, the follow-up appointments, and the updates your family actually receives.

How Discharge-to-Home Coordination Works
- 1
Before discharge day
We learn the discharge date, the hospital's instructions, the prescription list, and who will be home. We line up the ride, the supplies, and the first follow-up appointments.
- 2
Discharge day
Transportation and accompaniment from the hospital to home, and a direct update to your family when your parent is home.
- 3
The first 72 hours
Prescription pickup, groceries and basic errands, settling in, and confirming the follow-up plan is actually in motion.
- 4
Days 7–14
Follow-up appointments kept, providers coordinated, loose ends verified — and your family told what happened and what comes next.
What the Hospital Does Not Arrange
The hospital treats and discharges. It does not arrange the rest — and the rest is where families get stuck:
- A ride home that fits your parent's mobility
- Prescriptions picked up and in the house
- Food and basic supplies waiting at home
- Follow-up appointments scheduled — and kept
- Someone local checking that it all actually happened
- One person keeping the whole family informed
That is exactly what Discharge-to-Home Coordination covers.
Free: The Houston Family Discharge Checklist
The same checklist we use with families — what to have ready before discharge day, what to ask the hospital, and what to confirm in the first 72 hours at home. Text CHECKLIST to (832) 228-4140 and we will send it to you. Available in English and Spanish.
Most families start with the $249 Care & Recovery Assessment — a full review of your parent's situation and a practical plan for what happens next. Call or text (832) 228-4140. You reach Jorge Ordaz, the founder — not a call center — and if a discharge is coming up, the sooner we know, the more we can have ready.
