DISCHARGE PLANNING FOR SAFE TRANSITION TO HOME CARE WITH WESTCHESTER FAMILY CARE ENSURING SAFE CARE while
transitioning back to home from the hospital or rehab is vital to prevent a return to the hospital. The leading causes of hospital readmission for seniors are falling, not taking their medications and missing follow-up medical appointments. To give your loved one support to help them heal at home and avoid rehospitalization, we’ve created a 7- to 10-day discharge plan for a safe transition to home care. Seniors require assistance to ensure they have a smooth transition from the hospital to recuperation at home.
