Imagine this scenario: It’s a Tuesday morning, and you or your loved one are in the hospital. The doctors and nurses are closely monitoring vitals, administering the appropriate medication and care, and managing your dietary needs. Then you’re discharged. Suddenly back at home you are expected to manage on your own, follow a complicated care plan, prepare meals, and keep up with routine household chores, all while still recovering from injury or illness.

It’s during this critical time when problems can occur. Older adults run the risk of getting sicker if they don’t have access to medication, transportation, food or vital equipment. And many don’t have relatives or caregivers to help with the daily tasks that they were able to perform unassisted before being hospitalized.

Even if you or your loved one are fortunate enough to have assistance, family members and caregivers may be required to perform medical tasks that make most first-year nurses nervous.

Experts agree, more needs to be done.

LifeStyle Options is pleased to offer our Caring At Home program, a no obligation service that provides you or your loved one with the support and resources needed during the transition from hospital to home.

Offered at an affordable, packaged rate, Caring At Home includes:

Nursing Visit & Assessment:  Your personal nurse will come to your home as you’re discharged. He or she will perform an in-home assessment and review your plan of care to ensure all your doctor’s recommendations are met. Then they will train the caregiver to your specific needs.
