Post Hospital Care in Greater Sterling, VA

Comfort Keepers offers post hospital care in Sterling, Leesburg, Ashburn, and surrounding areas

By providing uplifting post hospital care during recovery at home, we can ease your loved one’s transition after discharge from a hospital or during time at a rehabilitation facility. After-hospital care for the elderly is critical to both physical recovery and emotional well-being, especially for seniors who live in the comforts of home instead of a senior rehabilitation center. Comfort Keepers provides a range of in-home senior care and custom care plans, including following hospital-provided discharge plans and rehab for the elderly after hospital stay, all in the comfort and privacy of home.

Challenges of rehabilitation

Rehabilitation after an injury or illness can be complicated, especially for senior rehab. The time immediately following release from the hospital is a critical phase of recovery.

In addition to physical challenges, patients can experience depression or anxiety caused by social isolation and a change to their normal routine. And, due to the current health crisis, we understand that more people may be recovering at home following a hospitalization.

Trained in infectious disease control and senior care, our caregivers can help those in recovery stay safely in the comfort of their homes and reduce the risk of re-injury or hospital readmission by following discharge care plans.

We can also provide respite care or a short period of relief for family members and other primary caregivers. After a major surgery or hospital stay, it is common for a family to temporarily move in or make arrangements to have their loved one move in with them. This compassionate change in routine can be stressful and overwhelming. Our trained caregivers can step in to allow primary caregivers to take a much-needed break and recharge.

Uplifting care during post-hospital recovery

Comfort Keepers supports families by providing quality in-home care for seniors and other adults who need help at home during recovery after a hospital stay.

Our custom care plans are created to meet the needs of each unique individual we serve and can help ensure an easier recovery at home. We also support physician-prescribed exercise regimens, provide companionship, and help families stay connected through technology.

Comfort Keepers strives to elevate the human spirit through quality, compassionate, joyful care.

Care Collaboration

Comfort Keepers often collaborates with home health agencies, physical therapists, and other health professionals to provide complementary services, ensuring seniors and other adults receive a full spectrum of care that will help expedite recovery.

Comfort Keepers caregivers make our clients’ transitions from hospital to home seamless, safe, and positive. Our caregiver's post-operative care services include:

• Transportation - Comfort Keepers can provide transportation home from a hospital or facility, including scheduled follow-up appointments and physical therapy sessions.
• Medication Reminders - Caregivers will pick up prescriptions and other supplies, and we can remind clients to take their medication on time.
• Encouragement - Recovery is hard work, and Comfort Keepers is there to provide encouragement and support for doctor-prescribed physical or speech therapy.
• Companionship - It’s not unusual for clients recovering from surgery to experience melancholy or become frustrated. Comfort Keepers provides companionship and engages in meaningful activities that the client enjoys.
• Personal Care - Surgery and extended hospital stays often result in weakness and a limited range of motion, making grooming and bathing difficult. Our caregivers can provide basic personal hygiene support to help patients get dressed and ready every day. This also includes light housekeeping to keep the home environment clean, tidy, and safe from hazards.
• Respite Care - When you or other primary caregivers need relief, our caregivers can step in. We will cover all responsibilities while you take a break and recharge.
• Patient Monitoring and Communication - Comfort Keepers will communicate with family members and a client’s Primary Care Physician to update everyone on the client's recovery status.

We work with our clients and their families to create a postoperative care strategy that fits everyone’s needs.
