Recover at home with nurses and therapists who have time for you. Preferred Transitions brings skilled nursing and therapy to your door across Worcester County, and Medicare covers it at no cost to you when you qualify.
Coming home from the hospital, recovering from surgery or managing a new diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Our clinicians come to you, assess your progress, teach you and your family what to watch for, and keep your doctor updated.
We built Preferred Transitions in Milford in 2016 around one motto: Love Your Patient. Our clinicians see fewer patients per day than the industry average, so your visit is never rushed. That approach is why Newsweek named us one of America’s Best Home Health Agencies for 2026 and why Medicare data places us in the top 2% of agencies in Massachusetts.
Registered and licensed practical nurses manage medications, check vital signs, monitor chronic conditions like heart failure, COPD and diabetes, and catch warning signs early so you can avoid a trip back to the hospital.
Physical therapists and PT assistants help you get stronger, walk safely and get in and out of bed, the car or the shower. They also check your home for fall risks.
Occupational therapists help you get back to everyday tasks like dressing, bathing and cooking, and recommend simple equipment that makes home safer. [H3] Speech-language pathol
