Hospital Discharge and Emergency Services
Hospital discharge and home care after hospitalization is no time for DIY
Hospital stays are getting shorter. In fact, many procedures that once required a few days in the hospital take place now as outpatient surgery.
On one hand, these shorter hospital stays may cut costs. However, these shorter hospital stays also mean that you head home soon after surgery. And going home sooner means you may not be fully ready to care for yourself.
- You may still be groggy from anesthesia. That makes it hard to focus on after care instructions.
- You may not have fully recovered from the ailment that sent you to the hospital in the first place.
- The transition from hospital to home can be a prime time for dangerous falls.
- Your doctor may restrict your activities for days or weeks after your hospital stay. Even a simple cataract outpatient surgery means no driving and no bending. Medical restrictions may limit your ability to get to important medical appointments, care for yourself, or fix meals.
Home or Rehab Facility – We’ll help with the transition
Sometimes home is not the best place for early recovery. Does your doctor recommend continued recovery in a rehabilitation facility before returning home? Sunlife discharge specialists can help you make that transition successfully as well.
Don’t risk a relapse after hospital discharge
Successfully navigating hospital discharge and immediate aftercare is a key step in your recovery. Seniors who don't follow discharge instructions face a particularly high risk of being readmitted to the hospital.
