A long hospital stay, whether for an illness or surgery, can be difficult for anyone and it is not always easy to make the transition back home. People are rarely fully recovered when discharged which means that they must finish their recovery at home. This not only entails getting enough rest and taking medications, but also following additional discharge instructions and going to follow up appointments. For seniors and some adults, it can be difficult to manage this and if they do not get adequate rest and follow their discharge instructions, they are at risk of a set back that will put them back in the hospital.
