After hospitalization, personalized care at home can be a comforting alternative to recovering in a rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility.
Following a minor elective procedure, assistance from a Home Health Aide (HHA) or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) can provide the support you need to rest and regain your independence. After a more complex hospitalization, private duty nursing can help you safely transition home with individualized clinical oversight and coordinated care.
Benefits of recovering at home may include:
- Reduced exposure to facility-based infections
- Dedicated one-to-one attention
- Assistance with bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, and other daily activities
- Support and encouragement with prescribed rehabilitation exercises
- Medication reminders, management, and administration within the caregiver's authorized scope
- Ongoing observation for changes in condition
- Communication with physicians, therapists, family members, and other members of the care team
- Greater comfort, privacy, and familiarity during recovery
Recovering at home may not always be presented as an option during discharge planning. However, when clinically appropriate, SHICS can develop a personalized care plan using private duty nursing, HHA/CNA services, or a combination of both.
Even when clients have complex needs, our experienced nurses and caregivers work closely with families and healthcare providers to support a safe recovery at home. Surrounded by familiar belongings, enjoying preferred meals, and receiving attentive personal care, clients can focus on healing and returning to life on their own terms.
