Laguna Honda Discharge Information
Every Laguna Honda resident and patient has an active discharge plan.
All patients are either receiving rehabilitative therapy to improve their functionality and transition to independent living or assisted living, or they are receiving long term care.
Our long term care patients and their families participate in regular evaluations with a team of care providers that includes nurses, doctors, and social workers in order to determine their eligibility for discharge to lower levels of care.
Patients who no longer require skilled nursing care are assisted by the Laguna Honda social work team and case managers from the Department of Public Health’s Targeted Case Management program to find accessible and appropriate alternative housing.
With support and advice from their care team, patients may choose to move to board and care homes, assisted living facilities, or accessible apartments that have support services on-site or provided by community-based organizations.
Laguna Honda patients and applicants for admission may also receive housing under the Diversion and Community Integration Program (DCIP), a joint project of the Department of Public Health and the Department of Aging and Adult Services. Under DCIP, potential patients who may not require the care provided at Laguna Honda, are diverted to accessible housing subsidized by the city.
