Support at home after a hospital stay
The first days at home after a hospital stay can be busy. Planning help in advance, and sharing the plan with the family, makes the move home calmer. Always follow the discharge instructions from the hospital team.

- Collect the discharge instructions and share them with the people who will help.
- Decide which help is needed at home, such as personal care, meals or transportation to follow-up appointments.
- Request visits for the first days and weeks, and adjust as recovery goes on.
- Follow each visit and keep the family updated in one place.
