Making a Safe Transition From Hospital to Home Coming home from a hospital or nursing home stay is such a relief—finally, back in one’s own space! But the transition involves more than just moving locations—it’s about the patient adapting to a new daily routine, managing health conditions, and perhaps dealing with new limits on what they can do. A smooth transition can lower the risk of problems, prevent returns to the hospital, and help recovery happen faster. That’s why, if at all possible, patients should begin planning for their transition back home before they go into the hospital or nursing home. How Home Care Helps Home care services are essential in supporting recovery by complementing the medical care the patient may already be receiving. Here’s how they help: Helping with daily life: Home care workers help with everyday activities like bathing, dressing, cooking, and cleaning. This help is key to avoiding injuries and making sure the person’s basic care needs are met. For those managing chronic diseases, these tasks can become increasingly difficult, making the support from home care workers vital.

After a Cancer Diagnosis: Tips as You Go Through Treatment and Recovery Stay socially connected with family and friends. If you’re a volunteer, continue contributing. Visit your local senior center for activities and social groups, such as book clubs and hobby groups. You can also find online communities, called chat rooms, that match your interests. One source is Senior Planet from AARP, where you can type in what interests you and find others who share your interests. Another source is Senior Living, where you can find online chat rooms for seniors and important information to keep you safe online. Keeping medical appointments along your journey is as vital as ever. In addition to your regular appointments, you should always remember to get annual screenings, such as mammograms, colonoscopies, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, cholesterol, and prostate cancer, among others your primary care provider recommends. Always take your medication as directed. If you’re having trouble paying for your prescriptions, visit WebMD for suggestions. Stop smoking if you do. Of course, it’s hard, but you can add years to your life by quitting. Check out smoking-cessation programs in your community. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where you’ll find many resources that can help. In addition to quitting, avoid secondhand smoke, and ask the smokers in your life to join in your effort.
