Post Hospital Care
Returning home after a hospital visit doesn't need to be scary! Placement or moving from their home shouldn’t be a default answer. With Home Instead support by our Care Team and Care Professionals, your loved one can safely return home with a personalized care plan suited to their individual needs.
Did you know that a leading cause of Hospital readmission is medication mismanagement, lack of proper nutrition or the inability to follow discharge instructions? We work closely with you and the AHS team of nurses and Doctors to ensure returning home is successful. Our Care Team will meet with you and your AHS Transition Services team to plan a smooth discharge back to the home.
Understanding your discharge instructions is so important! Knowing what medications you are supposed to take and when is the next most important thing to remember when you get home. Upon discharge all these instructions can be very confusing if you are elderly, need Home Care, have any memory issues/Dementia, or are just exhausted from your hospital stay. We can help by being there to listen to the discharge instructions, help you once you are home to remember to take your medications properly and help you get your strength back with exercises and getting back into your normal routine.
We’ve done this for decades. Call our office at (403) 984-9225 to begin the next steps.
