Making the transition back home after a surgery is never easy for seniors or adults. Most people are discharged before they have completely recovered which means they will need to continue their recovery at home. However, it is difficult for people to care for themselves after a surgery when they are not at full strength. It is crucial for patients returning home to follow their discharge instructions, take their medication, and get enough rest. The best way to make the home to hospital transition easier is to have a professional help with non-medical transitional care.
