Transitional Home Care from Hospital or Facility
​After a medical procedure or hospitalization there are often a variety of tasks required for proper healing and recovery and to prevent a re-hospitalization:
- Following discharge instructions from the doctor
- Picking up prescriptions
- Going to follow-up appointments
- Adjusting to diet and lifestyle changes
- Monitoring symptoms, moods and mental states
- Simply adjusting back to daily routines
- And so much more!

Home Instead is ready to help care for your loved one returning home!
We wanted to create a program that takes into account the financial stress involved with extended care post discharge. Our goal is to start with 24 hour home care for the first few days while monitoring your loved one's health status and reporting back to you.
Home Instead would then be able to create a custom care plan that focuses on needs and not just hours in the day. We will work with your family and care team to coordinate care, manage challenging family dynamics and prevent avoidable hospital re-admissions while coordinating care with other health care organizations.
We are your trusted partner in home care!
Transitional Home Care in San Jose, Saratoga and Los Gatos, CA
When a loved-one is discharged from a hospital or facility, their recovery isn’t necessarily complete once they return home. For older adults who live alone, and even for anyone with family support, it can be intimidating to sort through all the post-hospitalization instructions.
This is when an established home care agency, like Home Instead of San Jose, Saratoga & Los Gatos, is a valuable care partner. We take stock of what your senior needs to successfully recover and we build a care plan around their condition and goals. This makes for a smoother transition from facility to home, ensuring care management is built entirely around attentiveness, a safe environment and recuperation.
Home Instead's team will work with the hospital or facility's personnel to formulate a plan that addresses considerations both before and after discharge:
- Scheduling follow-up appointments
- Preparing a list of medications and scheduling medication reminders
- Taking note of dietary restrictions / allergies
- Running errands to ensure appropriate groceries are on hand
- Establishing physical activity routines (if necessary)
- Providing safe transport home from the hospital or facility.
- Picking up prescriptions
- Planning and preparing meals
- Assisting with showering, getting dressed, using the toilet, and other personal care items
- Offering companionship, mental stimulation and warmth during the recovery process
- Closely monitoring moods, mental states and any changes in condition
- Taking care of light housekeeping and chores around the home
- Ensuring a safe environment and providing support with walking to avoid falls
- Keeping family and medical staff updated with progress and any issues that arise
- And much more!
