Post-Hospital Care

Recover at Home Smoothly

with Connecticut In-Home Assistance

Proper discharge planning is the most important step for having a smooth and speedy recovery when leaving a medical facility.

We offer post-hospital discharge care services for those who have no one to stay with them after being released from a hospital, nursing facility, or rehabilitation center – whether it’s after surgery, an injury, or other reasons.

Many families also utilize our care services alongside the help they provide to their loved ones on their own.

What is Post-Hospital Care?

Care after a Hospital Discharge goes by many different names – including Post-Hospital Care, Transitional Care, hospital-to-home services, Post Surgery Care, and post acute care among others.

Please note:  Transitional care does not include medical needs such as wound management and rehabilitation. Medical needs can only be done legally by medically authorized personnel such as a nurse, regardless of the agency you go with. The goal of transitional care is to provide the necessary care and attention that is required outside of medical needs.

Why Is It Important?

The quality of care you receive after a hospital, nursing home, or rehab center discharge is directly tied to having a smooth recovery. Our mission is to ensure that your loved one makes it home and recovers smoothly with the professional level of care that you expect.

Over 25% of clients experience an unintentional medication discrepancy after being discharged from the hospital.

Reasons include not having a sufficient understanding of the medical condition, family members being unsure about the medication instructions, or a poor discharge / care plan.

Common causes that can result in hospital readmissions can be preventable, including following new medication directions, making lifestyle changes, and managing follow-up appointments.

Many states by law require that a caregiver be included in discharge planning for this very reason.
