If you reside in a nursing home, hospital, or other long-term care setting and want to explore community living options, Take Me Home can help.

Our team works with you to personalize a transition plan, connect you with local services, and make sure your home is safe, comfortable, and ready when you arrive. We’ll stay in touch after your move to be sure you have what you need to live independently and with confidence in your community.

Your Choice Matters

Moving home takes planning and support. 

When you work with Take Me Home, you are connected with a Transition Coordinator and Housing Specialist who listen to your goals and learn what you need to feel safe and prepared. Your Transition Coordinator helps you build a team of family, friends, and local care providers who will support you throughout your transition process.
