Special Care at Home Program

When leaving the house isn’t easy—whether due to ongoing health challenges or recovery after a medical event—Sanitas brings compassionate, coordinated care directly to your home.

Our Special Care at Home Program is designed for patients managing chronic conditions, reduced mobility, or recovery after a hospital stay. It’s a flexible, patient-centered solution that helps you stay healthy and independent, without the burden of trips to the doctor’s office.

Sanitas providers that come to your home deliver the same level of high-quality, whole-person care you'd expect in one of our medical centers. They partner with your primary care provider to ensure your care plan is seamless, safe, and fully integrated.

Whether you need short-term support after surgery or hospitalization, or ongoing care for conditions like COPD, diabetes, or mobility limitations, our team meets you where you are—literally and clinically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of patients qualify for Special Care at Home?
Patients who are temporarily homebound after surgery or a medical emergency, or those with chronic conditions that limit mobility—such as COPD, diabetes, heart disease, or frailty—may qualify.

Is this the same as hospice or palliative care?
No. Special Care at Home is for patients who need ongoing or short-term clinical care at home but are not in end-of-life or advanced illness stages.

What services are provided at home?
Depending on your needs, services may include primary care visits, medication management, wound care, follow-ups, chronic disease monitoring, and coaching.

Can I still keep my primary care doctor?
Yes. We work closely with your Sanitas primary care providers to extend their care to your home, keeping them informed every step of the way.

How do I request Care at Home?
Talk to a member of your Sanitas care team or call your local center. We’ll evaluate your eligibility and coordinate the transition.
