What is Post-Hospital Care?

Post-hospital care is the support and services that can be arranged after discharge to help you or your loved one recover safely at home and reduce the risk of complications.

As a post-hospital home care provider in Edmonton, Ohana Care bridges the gap between hospital and home. We develop a care plan aligned with your discharge instructions and recovery goals, then provide support for both daily living and clinical needs to help reduce stress and promote safer recovery.

  • Personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, and toileting)
  • Medication reminders, administration, and monitoring
  • Wound care and infection monitoring
  • Transportation to follow-up appointments in Edmonton
