Hospital-to-Home Care

As part of our proactive approach to care, we understand the need to plan ahead for the challenges to come following a surgical procedure. While hospital staff will discharge a surgical patient as soon as he or she is deemed medically stable, we know there are still a number of obstacles to be overcome on the path to healing.

One of our strengths at Youthful Aging is our high level of collaboration with other healthcare professionals in the community, in conjunction with our own in-house team of skilled clinical professionals – making us the ideal choice for those in need of additional assistance following a hospitalization or surgical procedure.

Our hospital-to-home services pave the way to a smooth transition and continuity of care. We’re attentive to the many details that need to be addressed, and will create a customized discharge plan that will ensure no stone is left unturned, allowing seniors to reduce stress and focus fully on their recovery.

A Youthful Aging registered nurse will arrive at the hospital on the day of discharge to:

Meet with the discharge planner to review treatment orders in detail
Ensure all medications have been ordered and are ready for pick-up
Review medication instructions and schedules
List any symptoms that will need to be reported right away
Ensure all equipment and supplies have been ordered and delivered in time for the senior’s arrival at home

A professional caregiver can then assist with transitional support such as:

Provide transportation home and help the senior comfortably settle in
Pick up groceries in adherence with any dietary restrictions
Prepare meals
Assist with taking medications as instructed
Ensure important phone numbers are easily accessible
And more as needed to ensure the senior’s comfort

A surgery or other hospital stay is stressful for seniors; partner with Youthful Aging Home Care’s hospital-to-home transitions team to alleviate anxiety and provide peace of mind and comfort. Contact us at 941-925-9532 to learn more.
