While hospitals provide information on services to assist with the transition back home, it is often up to the patient to find further assistance to guarantee a complete and speedy recovery.

What Is Transitioning Care?
Patients frequently require assistance after a stay in a hospital or rehabilitation center to effectively transition from being cared for around the clock to living more independently at home. According to studies, two of the most common reasons patients do not heal as quickly as expected or even wind up back in the hospital are that they do not fully grasp or follow discharge instructions correctly. Unfortunately, family members may lack the necessary skills or time to offer quality transitional post-hospital care services.
