Understanding the Hospital-to-Home Transition
When an aging loved one is discharged from the hospital, relief often quickly gives way to a wave of uncertainty. Families grapple with a daunting set of questions. What comes next? Who will provide the necessary support, and how can we ensure a smooth transition back to home? These situations are all too common, and for many, transforming the disorientation into an effective care plan can feel overwhelming.
