VISITING ANGELS PROVIDES SAFE, COMPLIANT HOME CARE SOLUTIONS TO MEET RECENT MARYLAND OHCQ DISCHARGE GUIDELINES

Eldersburg, MD / Storyteller / May 04, 2026 /

In light of recent state guidance regarding the safe transfer of vulnerable patients, Visiting Angels is reaffirming its commitment as a reliable, compliant home care provider for seniors transitioning from hospitals and nursing homes. Having served families across Central Maryland since 2002, Visiting Angels provides expert home care services to the residents of Central Maryland and offers a trusted solution for healthcare discharge planners working to meet Maryland’s strict post-acute care requirements.

On March 24, 2026, the Maryland Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) issued a transmittal reminding hospitals and nursing homes of their legal obligation to ensure safe and appropriate admissions for patients requiring assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). The mandate emphasizes that discharge planners must actively arrange or help to arrange needed post-discharge services, and critically, they must verify that any selected Home Health Agency or Residential Service Agency is appropriately licensed. This directive was specifically designed to protect vulnerable adults from being placed into inappropriate or unlicensed settings.

Visiting Angels is uniquely positioned to address these discharge planning challenges and support local medical facilities. As a trusted home care provider for over two decades, Visiting Angels ensures that patients receive safe, personalized, one-on-one care in the comfort of their own homes. The agency specifically offers recovery care, which is dedicated to helping seniors stay safe and comfortable after being discharged from the hospital following a surgery or injury.

Visiting Angels provides comprehensive personal care services, which include hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, incontinence care, and vital safety supervision. Because patient needs vary upon discharge, the agency avoids a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, they offer customizable care levels.

By collaborating closely with families and maintaining open communication about any changes in a client’s health, Visiting Angels provides peace of mind that discharged patients are in safe, capable hands. After an initial in-person assessment, the agency develops a personalized care plan tailored to ensure the patient can safely and comfortably recover and age in place.
