When to refer
Situations we're prepared to support
Returning home from a hospital or rehabilitation stay
For individuals who may need short-term transitional support, personal assistance, nursing coordination, or a longer-term care plan after discharge.
Increasing difficulty at home
For older adults or individuals who are having greater difficulty with daily routines, mobility, personal care, supervision, or remaining safely at home.
Family caregiver strain
For families who need respite, additional support, or a more dependable care arrangement.
Dementia or memory-related support
For individuals whose changing cognitive needs require structure, supervision, personal care, and family support.
NJ DDD services
For eligible adults and families seeking approved community-based supports through New Jersey's developmental-disability system.
Skilled or nurse-guided needs
For situations requiring clinical review, nursing oversight, or coordination with an existing care plan.
Uncertain next step
For families and professionals who know support is needed but are not yet sure which Chriswell service may be appropriate.
Service acceptance depends on clinical appropriateness, staffing, location, payer or program requirements, and current availability.
What happens next
A transparent path after you refer
Referral received
We review the information submitted and identify any immediate questions or missing details.
Initial professional contact
A Chriswell team member contacts the referring professional when clarification or coordination is needed.
Family or responsible-party outreach
With the appropriate authorization, Chriswell contacts the individual, family, or responsible party to explain the next step.
Assessment and service determination
The appropriate Chriswell professional reviews needs, service fit, location, availability, and required documentation.
Care coordination
If Chriswell can accept the referral, the team coordinates assessment, scheduling, caregiver matching, and relevant follow-up.
When Chriswell cannot accept a referral, the team communicates that clearly rather than leaving the referring professional or family without an answer.

Acknowledgment
We confirm that the referral has reached the appropriate team.
Clear next steps
We explain what information or documentation is still needed.
Responsible family outreach
We contact the family or responsible party using the information and authorization provided.
Closed-loop communication
When appropriate and authorized, we update the referring professional on referral status, assessment progress, and whether care can begin.
Communication is limited to information that Chriswell is authorized and permitted to share.
