It can be difficult for seniors and adults to smoothly transition back home after a hospital stay for an illness or surgery. People are often discharged before making a full recovery so that they can finish their recovery at home. When people are discharged, it is very important for them to follow the discharge instructions from their doctor, take their medications, and make sure they get plenty of rest without trying to do too much. Those who do not follow their discharge instructions or overexert themselves are at risk of a setback and rehospitalization.
