No matter your situation, Comfort Keepers of Parkersburg is here to ease the transition back home, and help you or a loved one return to a happy and healthy life.

How Post-Hospital Care Reduces Readmissions

When your loved one is discharged from the hospital, you want to make sure they can remain at home. Avoiding hospital readmission is very important because it can increase health dangers such as infections, falls, bedsores, and serious muscle weakness. One of the leading causes of readmission or slow recovery is the lack of proper support following a hospital stay. The first 72 hours after hospital discharge represent a critical time for the patient, often involving a new diagnosis, changes in daily habits, medications, rehab exercises, and more. Our professional home caregivers can provide the monitoring, reminders, and emotional support needed to help you through a full recovery at home. Caregivers will also coordinate with your other providers following discharge so that everyone is always on the same page.
