Heart To Serve Home Care – Safe, Supportive Transitions From Hospital to Home

Returning home after a hospital stay can be a vulnerable time. Whether your loved one was hospitalized due to illness, surgery, infection, injury, or a chronic condition flare-up, they may still be weak, disoriented, or at risk of complications. At Heart To Serve Home Care, our After Hospitalization Care services are designed to provide the structured, compassionate support needed for a smooth recovery and reduced risk of readmission.

What Is After-Hospitalization Home Care?

After-hospitalization care is non-medical in-home support focused on helping clients regain stability, safety, and independence following a hospital discharge. Our caregivers assist with day-to-day tasks while following hospital discharge instructions and monitoring for warning signs that may require medical attention.

This transitional care includes:

  • Assistance with basic needs
  • Companionship and supervision
  • Emotional and mental support
  • Medication and discharge plan compliance
  • Transportation to follow-up care

Every care plan is overseen by a Registered Nurse (RN) to ensure it aligns with recovery goals.

Who Benefits From Post-Hospital Care?

This service is especially valuable for:

  • Older adults recovering from illness or injury
  • Seniors with dementia, mobility challenges, or fall risk
  • Adults with chronic illnesses like COPD, CHF, or diabetes
  • Clients discharged after pneumonia, UTI, surgery, or a fall
  • Individuals without nearby family caregivers
  • Anyone needing safe assistance with daily recovery

Why After Hospital Care Matters

Post-hospital complications can lead to unnecessary re-hospitalization within 30 days — especially for seniors.

Our care helps reduce those risks by:

  • Supporting medication compliance
  • Monitoring for warning signs
  • Ensuring nutrition and hydration
  • Preventing falls and confusion
  • Encouraging follow-through with medical orders

The first few weeks after discharge are critical. Let us help you protect that healing window.
