Road to Recovery

We can ease your loved one’s transition from the hospital or rehabilitation facility to home, which can lead to a better, more comfortable recovery.

The time immediately after a hospital stay can be critical to the health and recovery of a loved one. Studies show that the lack of proper support and care following surgery or a serious hospitalization can lead to slower recovery or even readmission to the hospital.

Medication Reminders – There are states wherein the caregiver cannot administer the medication. They can only remind the client when to take the medication and how much dosage should be taken in. They also can help in opening the bottle and in getting water. This can help in ensuring that the client does not miss any medication in order to speed up the recovery.

Usual family members often take on the task of caring for a loved one after a hospital stay but can find they are untrained or ill prepared to meet the physical and emotional challenges of such care. That is why Trucare Caregivers offers services to ease the transition home.

Understanding Transitioning Care

This specialized care helps ease your loved one’s transition from a hospital stay to the home. Some of the services Trucare Caregivers can provide includes the following:

Support of the care plan to aid the recovery process

peace of mind for family and friends

Communication with the medical team as needed
Shopping – They do this either with or for the patient. They can accompany the patient’s family member in shopping, in bringing the packages, and in putting them away.

Laundry- They can carry the laundry, wash them and dry them. They can also help in putting the cloths away and in changing the linens at home.

Cooking – They do this either for or with the patient. They will prepare a balanced diet and regular hot meals which can lead to good nutrition.

Walking and Exercise – Regular physical activity is advised by doctors in order to have toned muscles, better blood circulation which can attribute to a better well being. The caregiver can help in assisting the client in order to ensure the safety in every activity that he/she does.

Light Housekeeping – The caregiver can clean up your kitchen after the meals, the bathroom after showering, do the dishes, straighten the closets, put things away and go through the clutter.

Review Bill Reminders and Mails – They can go through the mail and separate those important ones from the junk ones, be on guard for mail scams and remind the client to pay the bills.

Medication Reminders – There are states wherein the caregiver cannot administer the medication. They can only remind the client when to take the medication and how much dosage should be taken in. They also can help in opening the bottle and in getting water. This can help in ensuring that the client does not miss any medication in order to speed up the recovery.

Someone to Observe – The caregiver can help in looking after the patient especially those whose families are far away. Even just having the caregiver a few times a week can be beneficial in looking after the needs of the patient. The caregiver can give his/her observation of the current status of the patient whether there is improvement or none in his/her situation. This can help in preventing serious health problems that can happen.

Social Contact – For those patients and people who are living alone or living with someone with a day job, it can be sad and lonely. Having someone to be with for most of the day can help in improving the health of a person. Having another person to talk to, to share meals with and to do things with can be comforting and enjoyable.

Trucare Caregivers will help guide you safely through the transition process.  We offer clients peace of mind and can help with the recovery once your loved one returns home. We are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week to help your family member recover.
