From Hospital to Home- The Role of Home Care

from Life Happens · host Kim Hegwood

"The thing with not relying solely on family and maybe going through an agency is that you're going to get someone. You're going to get consistent. If a caregiver has a problem and she can't come in there's someone else that's going to come in for you." ~ Donna Orozco Title: From Hospital to Home- The Role of Home Care Welcome to another insightful episode of "Life Happens with Kim Hegwood." Today, we're delving into an important topic: the transition from hospital to home and the crucial role home care plays in this process. Joined by Donna Orozco from Amada Senior Care, we'll explore why so many seniors end up readmitted to the hospital after going home and how non-compliance with discharge instructions and medication plans plays a significant role. Donna will share her expertise on the challenges families face during these transitions and how professional home care services can support families, ensuring seniors remain safe and healthy at home. Stay tuned as we uncover practical tips and valuable insights to help navigate this often stressful journey.
