Private-pay physician judgment, risk scoring, and care navigation
StayHome Physician Care does not bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This allows more time for document review, family discussion, real-world risk assessment, and individualized planning.

StayHome Physician Care is a physician-led service helping families understand why an older loved one may be at risk of failing at home or in assisted living.
Our role is not to replace the patient’s regular doctor. Our role is to review the real-world situation, identify the medical, functional, caregiver, equipment, follow-up, and home-environment gaps that may lead to crisis, and provide a clear written plan the family can share with the regular care team.
— Dr. Christopher Kircher
Who is this service for?
This service is for families worried about an older loved one’s safety, medications, function, recent hospitalization, caregiver support, or ability to remain safely at home or in assisted living.
What is the StayHome Risk Score?
The StayHome Risk Score is a physician-selected Green, Yellow, Orange, or Red risk rating based on medication safety, fall risk, cognition and supervision, caregiver capacity, nutrition/hydration, skin and wound risk, DME and equipment needs, follow-up completion, home environment, and living-setting match.
What is the StayHome Plan?
The StayHome Plan is a practical nursing-home-avoidance planning framework. It explains what must be fixed first, what could trigger an ER visit or higher level of care, and which categories of support may reduce risk.
Do you replace the patient’s primary doctor?
No. We provide an independent physician-led review and a written report the family can share with the regular medical team.
Can you help with equipment or paperwork?
We review DME, equipment, discharge instructions, and forms as part of the assessment and identify what may need to be discussed with the PCP, home health agency, assisted living staff, or DME supplier. Additional care-coordination or paperwork support may be available case-by-case and for an additional fee. We do not guarantee Medicare, insurance, DME, or home health approval.
Is this an emergency service?
No. For urgent or life-threatening symptoms, call 911 or go to the emergency department.
Ready to understand what could put your loved one at risk?
Let’s create a physician-led StayHome Risk Score and StayHome Plan that brings clarity and peace of mind to your family.
