When An Elderly Loved One Goes In The Hospital...But Doesn't Come Back Out (At Least...Not Immediately)

This week, join Andrea and Lucy with guest Pamela Fuess, Administrator of Ventura Health & Rehabilitation Center as they discuss the important of patient advocacy and transitional care. In this episode, they unpack what really happens when an elderly patient is discharged from the hospital—but isn’t quite ready to return home. From skilled nursing facilities to short-term rehabilitation and everything in between, Pamela shares her frontline insights on how decisions are made, what families need to know, and how what to look for when "shopping" for a quality rehabilitation center for your loved one during this crucial time. Whether you're a caregiver, a healthcare professional, or simply planning ahead, this episode offers practical advice, compassionate guidance, and a closer look at the system behind post-hospital care.
