Research indicates that up to 35% of seniors are readmitted to the hospital within 90 days due to insufficient care after hospitalization. Such readmissions can lead to additional pain, stress, discomfort, increased costs, and a significantly slower recovery process for the patient.
We help you effectively manage the transition home after discharge from a hospital or rehabilitation facility is crucial for a safe and successful recovery.
Post Hospital Care
Recover quick and safely
Numerous health risks need careful management during recovery, as they can either prolong the healing process or worsen the patient's condition.
We will co-ordinate discharge with the hospital and develop a care plan based on hospital's recommendation to ensure quick recovery. We will also assure safe transportation from hospital and for any future regular medical appointments required for your recovery.
Hospital Discharge and
Transporation
After discharge, we’ll handle household tasks like keeping your home clean, making your bed, changing sheets, and doing laundry. We'll also take care of meal planning, shopping, cooking, and cleanup to ensure you enjoy healthy, delicious meals during your recovery.
Housekeeping and Cooking
We'll ensure your medication schedule is organized, with the correct dosages taken as prescribed. We'll also coordinate your medical appointments, arrange transportation, and provide assistance getting to and from your appointments on time.
Medication Supervision and Progress Notes
We’ll oversee your prescribed exercises and physical therapy, closely monitoring for any warning signs. If we notice your progress slowing or regressing, we’ll act quickly to prevent complications and avoid a hospital readmission.
