Patient Sitters and Hospital Sitters
You can expect the following assistance from our hospital sitters:
- Personal Care: Our hospital sitters can provide assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) including transferring, eating, dressing, and restroom use.
- Companionship: We will be a companion for you or your loved one during your hospital stay and engage in friendly conversations and other possible fun activities.

- Respite Care: In some cases, those in the hospital might get extra care and assistance from a relative. We can provide respite care to take over for the relative and let them have a break.
Transitional Care
When patients are discharged from the hospital to go back home, they are usually not yet fully recovered. It is very important for patients to understand and follow their discharge instructions to prevent setbacks and have a full recovery. Failure to understand or follow discharge instructions can lead to re-hospitalization.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide transitional care services to help patients transition back home from the hospital and ensure that they follow their discharge instructions. Our transitional care services include the following:
- We will understand the discharge instructions from your doctor and ensure that the patient and family also understand these instructions.
- We provide transportation to bring the patient safely back home.
- We can schedule follow up appointments after the discharge.
- We can help with prescription pickups and ensure that you or your loved ones take them properly and at the right time.
- Discharge orders and new prescriptions will be faxed to your primary care physician.
- If you need medical equipment at home, we can help pick it up or coordinate the delivery.
- We will help make adjustments to ensure that you are safe in your home.

- We will take care of some light housekeeping tasks to keep the home clean.
- We can provide assistance with ADLs including transferring, dressing, and bathing.
Post Hospital Care
It is never easy to go through surgery and it takes time afterwards to recover and regain full strength. It is important for patients to follow their discharge instructions after a surgery and to get enough rest to avoid a setback or prolonging your recovery. At Assisting Hands Home Care, we can help those who have just had surgery with our post-hospital care. Our caregivers will help in the following ways to aid your recovery:
