How It Works
At Kare One, our goal is to make the transition from the NICU to home as smooth, supported, and worry-free as possible. Here’s how we work with families and healthcare providers to create a seamless process, ensuring your child receives the best care from day one.
Hospital Case Worker Notifies KareOne
Once your healthcare team identifies that Kare One’s services would be a helpful support, your hospital case worker reaches out to us to initiate the process.
Confirmation and Instructions
We contact the case worker to confirm acceptance and provide clear instructions on the upcoming steps, ensuring a seamless handoff.
Scheduling an In-Person Introduction
Kare One then reaches out to you to schedule an in-person meeting, where we will introduce our team, answer questions, and outline the process ahead.
Creation of a Personalized Care Plan
Once registered, we develop a customized Care Plan, tailored to your child’s unique needs. This plan outlines the specific services your family will receive, such as nursing care, therapy, and transportation.
Case Review and Acceptance
Our team quickly reviews each case to confirm eligibility. Once accepted, we inform the hospital case worker and outline the next steps.
Notification to Parents
The case worker informs you, the parents, about the upcoming contact from Kare One, helping you prepare for our initial introduction.
In-Person Introduction and Intake
During this meeting, we present our intake form, gather essential information, and ensure you feel comfortable and informed about our services and next steps.
Care Plan Execution Begins on Discharge Day
From the moment your child is discharged, we begin executing your family’s Care Plan, ensuring that support is in place as soon as you arrive home.

Dedicated Support Through a Single Point of Contact
At Kare One, we value simplicity and consistency in care.
To make things easier for you, we assign a dedicated case manager to be your single point of contact. This case manager will handle all aspects of your child’s care plan—from coordinating services to answering questions—so you always have someone you trust to reach out to. This personalized approach means you won’t need to juggle multiple contacts or worry about any gaps in support.
Support for Everyone
We believe that every family should have access to the best possible care, without the worry of financial burdens.
Kare One’s services are fully covered by insurance and Medicaid, meaning little to no out-of-pocket costs for your family. Through our partnerships with insurance providers, we handle the financial details directly, so you can focus on what matters most—caring for your child.
