Transitions to Home
Transitioning home is not always easy after a hospitalization. There is so much to remember; what the doctor wants you to do, medications to pick up from a pharmacy, getting your home prepared with food, preparing meals, linens for bed and bath, etc. Our New “Transitions to Home” program helps seniors by reducing the stress of discharge and ensure a safe return to home.
Statistics show that seniors who are discharged from the hospital can be quickly readmitted due to two main reasons: lack of follow through with after cares doctor appointments and medication mis-management. We understand the first few hours home after a hospitalization is critical to your recovery.
