How Post Hospital Care & Transition Services Help Prevent Hospital Readmission
Returning home is the start of recovery, not the end of care. Effective post-hospital care focuses on medication adherence, safe mobility, close monitoring, emotional and social support, and nutrition support, all of which help reduce avoidable return visits to the hospital.
Supporting Medication Adherence
- Gentle reminders and simple routines
- Tracking schedules, dosage times, and special instructions
- Flagging changes in comfort or behaviour for family members or health-care providers
Promoting Safe Mobility and Daily Activities
- Assistance with safe transfers and stairs
- Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming while protecting dignity
- Simple home set-ups that support safer movement and rest
Monitoring Changes and Coordinating Care
- Watching for signs such as fatigue, confusion, or breathing changes
- Sharing updates with families and, if requested, health-care providers
- Helping schedule and keep follow-ups to support the physician’s plan
Providing Emotional and Social Support
- Companionship, conversation, and a calming presence
- Encouragement to re-establish gentle routines and enjoyable activities
Supporting Nutrition and Overall Wellness
- Meal planning and preparation aligned with dietary needs
- Prompts for hydration and healthy eating habits
Specialized Support for Complex Health Needs
Some seniors are discharged from hospital after events such as congestive heart failure, heart attack, or pneumonia, or with ongoing chronic conditions that may require long term support. Within the health-care team’s plan, our caregivers can:
- Assist with personal care and mobility related to breathing or heart issues
- Pace the day to help reduce fatigue and strain
- Encourage appropriate activity and rest
- Provide added reassurance and support during early recovery
While we do not provide medical treatment, our caregivers can support senior medication management by offering reminders, organizing pill schedules, and noting changes that families or health-care providers should know about.
