What is Post-Hospital Care?

Post-hospital care is the support and services you or your loved one receives after being discharged from the hospital to ensure a safe, smooth, and full recovery. When you leave the hospital, you may still need help with things like managing medications, changing dressings, regaining strength, or preventing complications. That’s where we come in.

As a post-hospital home care provider, our role is to bridge the gap between hospital and home. We develop tailored care plans in collaboration with your medical team, addressing your specific post-surgery needs, and help make recovery safer, faster, and less stressful.

Our post-hospital support services include:

Personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, toileting)
Medication reminders, administration and monitoring
Wound care and infection monitoring
Mobility assistance and safety support
Light housekeeping and meal preparation
Transportation to follow-up appointments
Hydration and nutrition support
Continuity of care

Why Choose Post-Hospital Care at Home?

Bridge the Gap Between
Hospital and Recovery

The period immediately following hospital discharge is crucial. Our experienced team helps bridge this gap, ensuring you have the support needed for a smooth transition home while reducing the risk of complications or readmission.

Professional Advocacy
for Safe Discharge

Having a healthcare professional advocate for you can make all the difference. Our nurses can communicate directly with hospital discharge teams, often securing additional time to ensure proper preparations are in place for your safe return home.

Types of Surgery We Support

Planned Surgeries

For scheduled procedures like hip or knee replacements, we can prepare in advance, setting up your home environment and coordinating care to begin immediately upon your return.

Emergency Surgeries

When surgery is unexpected, we understand the urgency. While we prefer advance notice, our large pool of qualified caregivers allows us to provide support even in crisis situations, often within 24-48 hours.
