Recover at Home: 6 Essential Tips From Comfort Keepers Sacramento
Coming home after a stay at Sutter, Mercy, or UC Davis is a relief—but also a little scary. The hospital’s round-the-clock help is gone, and small oversights can lead to setbacks or readmission. The care team at Comfort Keepers® Sacramento has distilled decades of in-home experience into six practical, easy-to-follow steps that keep recovery on track.
1. Prep Your Space for Safety & Calm
Clear the path. Remove throw rugs, power cords, and clutter; widen walkways for a walker or cane.
Add steady points. Install grab bars near the shower, toilet, and any step-down areas.
Create a recovery zone. Place a comfy chair, phone, water, meds, and remote within arm’s reach.
Light it up. Night-lights in halls and bathrooms cut fall risk by up to 30 %.
Bring in “peace cues.” Plants, sunlight, soft music, and neutral colors lower stress hormones and support healing.
Need help setting it up? Our caregivers perform a complimentary safety check at the start of service.
2. Eat to Heal
Food is medicine. Aim for:
Protein every meal – chicken, fish, Greek yogurt to rebuild muscle and tissue.
Colorful produce – berries, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes fight inflammation.
Whole grains & legumes – fuel gentle activity and regulate digestion.
Hydration goal: 6-8 cups – water, herbal tea, or doctor-approved electrolyte drinks.
Comfort Keepers can shop, prep, and serve dietitian-approved menus, then track intake in our Family Portal so loved ones stay informed.
3. Master Your Med Routine
Medication errors cause thousands of avoidable readmissions. Use a three-step system:
Sort once a week with a labeled pillbox.
Set reminders—phone alarms, smart speakers, or caregiver prompts.
Log reactions and bring questions to follow-ups.
Our licensed staff can coordinate refills, pick up prescriptions, and liaise with your pharmacist to catch interactions early.
4. Move—But Move Smart
Get your doctor’s green light first. Then:
Start small. Seated ankle pumps, shoulder rolls, or ten-minute hallway walks.
Breathe & pace. Gentle effort should raise pulse slightly but allow easy conversation.
Listen to pain. Sharp or lasting pain means stop and call your provider.
Comfort Keepers caregivers reinforce home-exercise plans from your PT and document progress for the rehab team.
5. Keep Follow-Up Appointments Sacred
Early check-ups spot infections, medication issues, or blood-pressure swings before they spiral.
Have rides and appointment cards ready the day you’re discharged.
Bring an updated medication list and questions.
File visit summaries in one binder (or upload to our secure portal) so every clinician sees the same information.
We provide transportation, attend visits if requested, and relay instructions to family members in real time.
6. Nurture Your Emotional Health
Recovery can feel isolating. Combat the blues with:
Daily connection. Video-chat relatives, invite a friend for coffee, or enjoy caregiver conversation.
Peer support. Join an online or local group for stroke, cardiac, or joint-replacement survivors.
Professional help. Short-term counseling eases anxiety and sleep troubles common after hospitalization.
Comfort Keepers companions play cards, reminisce, read aloud—anything that sparks joy and keeps the mind engaged.
