Earlier this month, Live Free Home Health Care’s home care specialists in Concord, NH and surrounding areas offered tips for patients preparing for their return home. If day-to-day treatment or other monitoring care is needed, in-home caregivers may be able to provide help to prevent a hospital readmission—and keep loved ones independent for as long as possible.
Please consider the following situations where home care services may be appropriate:
Return Home From the Hospital, Nursing or Rehab Facility
- A person is being discharged from the hospital or a skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility and requires transportation home and assistance with picking up medications, grocery shopping, making meals and tidying up
- Care is needed in the 72-hour period between hospital discharge and when a home health nurse is scheduled to start services and provide some assistance
Recovering From Illness, Cancer or Surgery
- A person is recovering from an acute illness and requires extra care during recovery
- A person needs some extra help at home to assist while recuperating from chemotherapy treatments
- A person is homebound after elective surgery
- A person is recovering after a stroke
- A person is recovering after a heart attack or heart surgery
- A person is returning home after an injury or an illness
