After having a major surgery or a lengthy hospital stay, it’s rare to be safely mobile before receiving notice that you’re being discharged back home. With the level of support one receives in a hospital setting, it’s easy to assume the transition back home will be smooth. However, once home it can be very difficult, sometimes impossible, to perform basic daily activities without hands on help. This increases your risk of having a fall, mismanaging your medications, and not receiving proper nutrition. These risks can easily send you right back to the hospital and extend your recovery period substantially. Following the proper after care instructions from your Doctor is something Affordable Home Care can provide you assistance with.
