No one should recover from surgery alone
start your care journey WITH US

Why do we exist

THOUSANDS of people EACH DAY are sent home after surgery without anyone to help THEM.

We created NextStep because no one should face recovery alone.

WE WANT to make healing less expensive, less lonely, and more personalized.

what we do

From Discharge to Recovery, You’re Never On Your Own

Discharge

We coordinate with your care team to ensure nothing gets missed. Your NextStep Companion meets you at the hospital, reviews discharge instructions, and makes sure you leave with confidence and clarity.

transport

We get you home safely. Your Companion is trained in post-operative care and will drive you with care, assist with mobility, and provide calm support throughout the ride.

Recovery

Once home, your Companion helps you inside, notifies your loved ones, and stays until you're settled. Meanwhile, another team member delivers your prescribed medications to your door.

How it Works

with you every step of the way

Book your NextStep Companion—a certified, vetted healthcare professional trained in post-operative support. Just choose the time and location, and we’ll handle the rest.

2. We Meet you at discharge

Your Companion arrives at the hospital, checks in with your care team, and reviews post-op instructions to ensure a smooth transition.

3. We Get You Home & Settled
