Hospital Discharge Services
Adjust to a Hospital Stay with At-Home Discharge Services
Hospital stays present an interruption to your daily life, and many visits continue to disrupt you long after the hospital discharges you. Seniors often find the transition from the hospital back home jarring, especially when their admission spanned an extended period. Nurse Anytime offers customized hospital discharge services to Edmonton, Sherwood Park and St. Albert seniors. We designed our program to help patients adjust and complete post-surgical or -operative tasks. We use an extensive skill set and plenty of compassion to lessen the load and create smoother transitions for all parties.
We’re with you from day one and assist you with everything you need through your recovery.
What Post-Discharge Services Can Include
Each senior is different. The only way to coordinate exemplary in-home care is by using nurse-managed techniques to devise customized treatment plans. For instance, if you’re a relatively independent senior who suffered a broken limb, we can draw up plans for short-term at-home care designed to help with crucial errands and tasks while you recover. And if you’re a family caregiver struggling to adjust to a family member with a severe injury or illness, our short- and long-term plans can include more robust services. When we meet with you for a free consultation, we get the information we require to determine which services you need.
These Services Might Include:
- Home safety reports (identifying trip hazards or other risks)
- Modifications to the house due to accessibility or safety concerns
- Equipment recommendations
- Running errands, including grocery shopping and prescription pick-up
- Housekeeping tasks
- Bathing and grooming assistance
- Healthy meal preparation per doctor’s orders
- Eating assistance
- Help with exercises for rehabilitation
- Emotional support and companionship
- Transportation
- Regular contact from the initial and supervisory case manager
