Whether someone spent time in the hospital due to an illness or surgery, returning home can be difficult. People are not at 100 percent when they come home from the hospital and if they do not take it easy, they can experience a setback in their recovery that will put them back in the hospital. After discharge, people need to rest and follow their discharge instructions which can include taking medications and doing certain light exercises.
Family members may be able to help those who have returned from the hospital to ease the transition, but they may not be available to provide consistent care. It’s important for those returning home to have someone present so they do not overexert themselves and suffer a setback. The presence of a professional caregiver can help make the transition back home much easier.
