Get home safely
after surgery.
A trained companion meets you at discharge, rides home with you, and escorts you safely inside.
How it works
What NextStep does
Discharge pickup
A care companion meets you at your surgery center and checks in with discharge staff.
Transportation home
Your companion rides with you from the surgery center to your home.
Home escort
Your companion walks you inside, helps you get settled, and confirms you're safely home.
The problem
Why patients use NextStep
Surgery centers require a responsible adult
Patients cannot be released after anesthesia unless a responsible adult accompanies them home.
Family and friends aren't always available
Not everyone has someone who can take time off to help after surgery.
Rideshare drivers cannot provide discharge support
Hospitals require someone to be present during the discharge process.
NextStep ensures you get home safely
A professional companion handles pickup, transportation, and home escort.
