Post-hospital home care support for an older adult returning home in Dallas

Hospital-to-Home Recovery Support

Post-Hospital Home Care in Dallas, TX

Coming Home From the Hospital Shouldn’t Mean Managing Everything Alone

A hospital discharge can happen quickly, but recovery at home may take time. Mom may be weaker than she was before. Dad may need help getting dressed, preparing meals or moving safely around the house. Family members may also be trying to manage work, appointments and discharge instructions at the same time.

Stay In Home Care provides personalized post-hospital home care in Dallas to help families support a parent, spouse or loved one during the transition home.

Hospital-to-Home Support

What Is Post-Hospital Home Care?

Post-hospital home care provides everyday assistance after a person returns home from a hospital, rehabilitation facility or other care setting.

Depending on your loved one’s needs, support may include personal care, meals, mobility assistance, companionship, reminders, transportation and help maintaining the routines recommended for recovery.

Our home-care support can complement services provided by physicians, nurses, therapists or home-health professionals when those clinical services are part of the discharge plan.

Planning the Transition Home

When Your Parent May Need Extra Help After Discharge

Meals and household routines are difficult to manage
Your loved one should not be alone for long periods
Follow-up appointments need to be coordinated
Dementia makes the transition home more confusing
A spouse or adult child cannot provide all the required help

Understanding the Difference

Home Care and Home Health Can Work Together

Families sometimes assume home care and home health mean the same thing. They do not.

Home care generally focuses on everyday assistance such as personal care, meals, routines, companionship and household support.

Home health involves clinical services when medically necessary, such as skilled nursing, wound care or certain therapies provided by appropriately licensed healthcare professionals.

Your loved one may need one, the other, or both depending on the discharge plan.

Stay In Home Care focuses on the home-care support your family needs between medical visits and throughout everyday recovery.

Care That Can Change

Short-Term Help or Ongoing Care

Not everyone needs long-term assistance after leaving the hospital. Some families need additional help only during the first days or weeks of recovery. Others discover that hospitalization revealed a longer-term need for support.

Elderly Home Care

Ongoing daily assistance when an aging loved one continues to need help after the initial recovery period.

Depending on the care plan, support may include bathing and dressing, meals, mobility assistance, companionship, medication reminders, transportation and everyday household routines.
