Post-Hospital Home Care: How to Keep Your Loved One Safe After Discharge

Discharging a loved one from the hospital can feel like a relief — but it’s just the beginning.

Without proper support, seniors are at high risk of falls, infections, or readmission. That’s where post-hospital in-home care comes in.

Common Post-Discharge Risks:

• Medication mismanagement

• Missed follow-ups

• Poor mobility = high fall risk

• Delayed wound healing

• Malnutrition or dehydration

How HHAs & CNAs Help:

• Monitor changes in condition

• Assist with bathing, dressing, and transfers

• Prepare meals and hydrate

• Support physical therapy routines

• Ensure medications are taken correctly

What to Ask Before Discharge:

• What home care services are recommended?

• Does your loved one need medical equipment?

• Can they safely move around the home?

• Will they have 24/7 supervision?
