From Hospital to Home Care: A Step by Step Guide to Providing Care to Patients Post Hospitalization
Overview
Many people think of home care as something that applies only to frail elders; however, at least 65% of people who require home care receive this care after being discharged from an inpatient hospital stay.
Home care recipients can be people of any age who are suffering from a chronic or an acute disease, as well as people who are injured or who have had a surgical procedure. The common denominator among these people is that they all require extra assistance to stay in their homes.
Whether your loved one is currently in the hospital or at home, this guide provides the tools and resources to meet the needs of your loved one throughout the transition from hospital to home.
