Supporting your loved one at home

Have you prepared a comfortable environment?

When caring for a loved one after a stay in hospital, it is important to remember to establish a comfortable and relaxing environment to help aid their recovery. 

Have you ensured you can be present?

When taking your loved one home after a stay in hospital, we recommend staying with them to help their recovery for the remainder of the day and overnight.

Has a post-surgery appointment been booked?

Your loved one will require a follow up appointment with their doctor if they have undergone surgery. If you are unsure if one has been scheduled, please follow up with the doctor post-surgery on your loved ones behalf.

Have any necessary medication(s) been picked up?

Should your loved one require any medication(s) after their procedure, these should be picked up prior to their return home.

Have you noticed any post-surgery issues?

If you or your loved one notice any post-surgery issues occurring, do not hesitate to call their doctor on their behalf.
