If you or a loved one are being considered for admission to the hospital, your provider may recommend our Hospital Care at Home program. ChristianaCare’s Hospital Care at Home program enables patients to receive 24/7 hospital-level care from the comfort of their homes rather than in a hospital.

Our team of experts will treat and monitor your health with the highest level of care. Even though patients are not physically within the walls of the hospital, they are constantly connected to healthcare providers. Patients connect with their care team through a combination of in-person and virtual visits and monitoring through our telehealth platform.
