Comfort Keepers can assist with your loved one’s post hospital care and in Colorado Springs, Woodland Park, Black Forest, Monument, and the surrounding CO area
The time following a hospital visit can be critical for one's health and recovery. According to research, inadequate support and care following a surgery, illness, or significant hospitalization can lead to a slower recovery or even readmission.
Often, following a hospital stay, family members take on the job of providing care and support for a loved one. However, family members frequently discover that they are inexperienced or unable to deal with the physical and emotional challenges that arise when providing transitional care and support for a loved one. That is why Comfort Keepers offers post hospital care services to help with this important transition back home.
Rehabilitation's Difficulties
Rehabilitation following an injury or illness can be difficult for anybody, but it can be especially taxing for the elderly. The recovery period promptly following hospital discharge is crucial. Isolation from friends and family and a disruption in routine can add emotional distress to a patient's list of worries about their health. More and more people are choosing to go home to recuperate after being hospitalized.
Our Post-Hospital Care Services
Families may rest easy knowing their loved ones are receiving top-notch post hospital care from Comfort Keepers while they recuperate at home. In order to provide a comprehensive range of care that aids in the healing process, we frequently collaborate with hospitals, medical centers, home health agencies, physical therapists, and other health care specialists to provide therapy to seniors and other folks.
When we discharge a client from the hospital, our senior carers see to it that they are safely and comfortably reintegrated into their previous environment at home. Plans for care after hospitalization provided by our staff may consist of the following.
- Transportation Services - We can transport clients to and from hospitals and other medical facilities and schedule follow-up appointments and physical therapy sessions.
- Medication Reminders - Prescriptions and other supplies will be collected, and we may remind clients to take their medicine on time.
- Encouragement & Companionship - Recovery is challenging, and our staff is here to encourage and assist you while you follow your doctor's recommendations. We will also help you to return to the activities that bring you joy.
- Personal Care - Occasionally, surgery and prolonged hospital stays result in weakness and decreased range of motion, challenging grooming and cleaning. Our senior caregivers may assist clients in dressing and getting ready for the day by offering support with basic personal hygiene.
- Respite Care - Our staff can assist primary caregivers in taking a much-needed break while still providing their loved ones with the aging support and attention they require.
Comfort Keepers will communicate with family members and the client's Primary Care Physician to keep everyone informed of the client's recovery status. We work together with our clients and their families to design a post-operative care strategy tailored to each individual's needs.
