Post-Discharge Home Care

For most of us, home is where we feel most comfortable, safe and content. But sometimes an injury, illness or life-altering circumstance makes it hard to stay at home without help. Perhaps your mom or dad is having trouble remembering to take medications or to eat. Your brave son or daughter is disabled by a devastating military injury. Your grandmother has Alzheimer’s and your grandfather is exhausted and anxious caring for her 24/7.

Our home care help is customized to your needs. We offer a “fresh perspective” on what in-home care should be. Our caregivers provide a wide variety of services including activities and support that are tailored to your unique situations. We can help you build a care plan that enhances your or your loved one’s quality of life with home care services.

Home Care After Hospitalization

Surgery, injury, or illness can make it difficult for seniors to recover at home alone. They are unable to, or prohibited from, doing certain things. This is part of their healing process. While recovering, it is important that they have a care professional who is taking care of them. Recovery support services can make their recovery faster and more comfortable. These services range from companion care and personal care, to homemaking services.


Fresh Perspective Home Care can provide all your recovery needs. Our qualified caregivers will see to it that your loved ones will be well-taken care of throughout the whole recovery process. We have a team of non-medical care professionals who can assist in your or your loved one’s recovery.

What is Post-Hospital Discharge Care?

After a hospital discharge, you’ll need to carefully follow all of the instructions from your healthcare provider. Care professionals from Fresh Perspective Home Care can help!

  • If you have a question about your follow-up care, call to ask.
  • If you’re concerned about problems, make sure to call with questions. This can help prevent problems from getting worse.
  • Make sure to keep all of your follow-up appointments.
  • When you go to an appointment, be ready to tell your healthcare provider how you have been feeling.
  • Bring copies of any test results.
  • Ask questions about any part of your recovery or care.
  • You may have been given important instructions to follow, such as weighing yourself daily or doing certain exercises to speed your recovery.

Let home care by Fresh Perspective Home Care, family members, or friends be a part of your recovery after discharge.

  • Care professionals are able to pick up medications or take you to appointments.
  • Care professionals may remember things that you forget about symptoms, problems, or questions you want to ask.
  • Home care can help you ensure a smoother recovery after discharge.

Top things to consider when choosing an in-home care provider:

Being Dependable and On-Time: Hiring an experienced in-home care agency is important. An experienced provider will be reliable but will also have a back-up plan when a caregiver is sick. 

Read reviews of the home care agency to see if past clients have been happy. Ask the agency if they have a plan in place for when a caregiver isn’t able to make it to the scheduled visit.

Available Services: Be sure that you understand the home care services that will be provided.

Ask questions. Be your own (or your seniors’) advocate. Follow up after visits if you have questions. Find out what the agency recommends if they are unable to provide certain services.
