After spending time in the hospital because of a surgery or illness, returning home can be difficult. Patients who are discharged are rarely fully recovered and must continue their recovery at home. However, if discharged patients do too much after returning home or don’t follow their instructions, they could experience a setback that will put them back in the hospital. It helps to have someone there to provide personal care and assistance and ensure they are following discharge instructions and making it to follow-up appointments.
