Recover at Home with the Right Support – Here’s How
Post-Hospital Care: High Intensity Support In Your Home
The First 72 Hours After Discharge – Why They Matter So Much
Getting home after a hospital stay or surgery feels great, but it can also be overwhelming.
That’s where post-hospital care comes in. It’s about making sure you have the support you need to heal and stay safe. For people with complex needs, having a plan for high-intensity support can make all the difference.
We’re here to help you recover in the comfort of your home, with care that’s personalised to your situation.
What Your Doctor Might Not Tell You About Going Home
Leaving the hospital is just the beginning. Here’s what we do to get everything ready:
1. Plan Ahead
Before you’re discharged, we work with you and your healthcare team to figure out what you’ll need at home. This includes medical equipment, wound care supplies, and anything else to make recovery easier.
2. Make Your Home Safe
We check your home for any risks. Are there trip hazards? Do you need a shower chair or grab bars? Little changes can prevent big problems.
3. Educate and Prepare
We explain everything in simple terms. Whether it’s how to take your medications or when to change dressings, we make sure you and your family feel confident.
