HOP is a nursing service of the

Services include locating community

follow-up visits, agency coordination
and patient discharge adherence.
Staff accepts referrals from discharge
planners for hospitalized individuals
over the age of 18 who are at-risk for
long-term placement. The program’s
registered nurse provides information
about available community resources
and identifies barriers that prevent the
client from returning to the community.
Enrolled clients are either presently
eligible for Maryland Medicaid, or
who would be eligible within 180 days
after a nursing facility placement.
