When an older parent or partner comes home from the hospital, the relief of getting back to their own bed often runs straight into a new list of worries. Who helps them to the bathroom at night? Are they eating? Did they take the right pills this morning? How will they get to the follow-up appointment? We are Comfort Keepers Winnipeg, and helping local families through exactly these moments is a large part of what we do.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Home support after a hospital stay is practical, non-medical help with the everyday parts of recovery, things like meals, moving safely around the house, medication reminders, getting to appointments, and keeping daily routines going. It works alongside the discharge plan and the healthcare team, never in place of them, so your loved one can follow the advice they were given and settle back in at home.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A note on what this is, and what it is not.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The support we describe here is non-medical. It does not replace your discharge instructions, and it does not include nursing or clinical care. The doctors, nurses and pharmacist guide the medical side of recovery, including medications, wound care, therapy and how active your loved one can be. We help with the everyday things that make it easier to follow their advice at home. When a clinical need comes up, that belongs with the hospital or Winnipeg Regional Health Authority team, your physician, or our separate in-home nursing service.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
