Before Going Home

• Families can benefit from asking the hospital or healthcare team:
• What care will be needed at home?
• What follow-up appointments are required?
• What warning signs should we watch for?
• Who should we contact with questions?
• What equipment is needed?
• Is home health being considered or ordered?
• What medications have changed?
• What activities should be limited?
• What services are available after discharge?

 

Organizing the First Days at Home

The first days after discharge can be overwhelming.

We can help families organize their questions and identify areas that may require attention, such as:

 

Caregiver Support

Who will be available to help?

 

Home Environment

Are there practical safety or accessibility considerations?

 

Transportation

How will the individual get to follow-up appointments?

 

Resources

What community or care resources may be relevant?

 

Communication

Who should the family contact if questions arise?

 

When Additional Support May Be Needed

If a family's circumstances change after discharge, additional care or professional evaluation may be appropriate.

Families should contact the appropriate healthcare professional when medical concerns arise. For emergencies, call 911.
