Post Hospital Discharge Care
Almost 1 in 5 patients discharged from hospitals are re-admitted within a month
After being discharged from the hospital, individuals will often still need support with activities of daily living, wound care and pain management. Usually, they’ll also need to make frequent trips to the hospital for rehabilitation therapy and follow-up appointments. For some, such as stroke survivors, long-term care may be required.
Making care arrangements for the transition from hospital to home takes time, and a family member often assumes the role of the primary caregiver. Without proper care-giving knowledge, experience and skills, family caregivers may not be able to deliver the best care to their loved one as much as they’d like to. This can compromise the wellbeing of both the caregiver and the care recipient.
For those who live alone, it can be difficult to cope with post-surgery care at home as well.
