It can be challenging for seniors to return home and settle into their new routine after a hospitalization stay or surgery. Post discharge home care, sometimes referred to as post-surgery home care or hospital to home care, can help in this situation. Seniors receiving this kind of care are assisted in returning to their homes and with their recuperation.
According to the National Council on Aging, seniors who receive home care after a hospitalization have a 30% lower risk of re-hospitalization.
Post discharge home care, also known as post-surgery home care or hospital-to-home care, is a valuable service for seniors returning home after a hospitalization or surgery. It provides support and assistance with daily activities, helps seniors manage their medications and follow their healthcare plan, offers companionship and emotional support and helps seniors maintain their independence and avoid re-hospitalization.
Home care can also provide respite for family caregivers and improve the overall quality of life for seniors. It’s important to research and choose the right home care agency that can meet the senior’s needs and preferences and ensure a smooth transition back home.
