When your loved one is ready to be discharged from the hospital, their condition is carefully evaluated by a team of healthcare professionals. This team includes their doctor, case manager, and social worker. But most importantly, you play a vital role in the total rehabilitation of your loved one at home. In crafting the discharge planning, you can help in the following ways:

• Provide helpful information in your loved one’s medical history.

• Provide techniques to compassionately communicate with your loved one.

• Identify specific ways to care for your loved one.





The Role of the Family in Rehabilitation and Recovery

One of the most significant factors in a patient’s recovery after an illness, injury, or disability is the support and involvement of family members. When a patient’s family is the primary caregiver, their care and presence are vital to the recovery.

Social support from friends and family can also influence a patient’s overall well-being and health. Positive reinforcement from family members can inspire a patients’ commitment to recovery. It also encourages them to achieve their physical goals during rehabilitation.



A Sensitive Health Care

A good home healthcare provider would be sensitive and understanding to the needs of the family members of their client, and not just the patient themselves. A good home healthcare provider would know and understand that the family is vital to the recovery of the patient. Being surrounded by a constant source of love and support, may be the only thing between the best and worst case scenarios.

At 24 Hours Care, we pride ourselves on being sensitive and understanding to the family members’ needs.
