A qualified, skilled caregiver can transport you home from the care facility, and provides essential support during an often stressful time.One of the leading causes of hospital readmission or slow post-hospitalization recovery is the lack of proper support following a hospital discharge. Whether you or a loved one is transitioning directly home after a hospitalization or moving through the care continuum via a rehabilitation or medical care facility, in-home care is a key resource for a safe and successful recovery process.The first 72 hours following a procedure or hospital stay represent a critical and vulnerable time for the patient, often involving a new diagnosis and changes in daily habits, required medications, meal regimens, rehab exercises and more. Non-medical home care provides the monitoring, reminders and emotional support to help the individual recover successfully at home. *Basic personal care: .Assisting with walking and transferring from bed to wheelchair .Bathing, dressing and grooming assistance .Medication reminders .Toileting and incontinence care .Status reporting to family .Safety and fall prevention *Transition home care: .Consultation and personalized care plan .Transportation to support the critical initial transition .Errands, grocery shopping, prescription pick-up, housekeeping .Meal preparation and nutrition .Rehabilitation reminders, physical and emotional support and companionship
