What Is Hospital-To-Home Transition Care?
Many older adults experience difficulties in self-managing their recovery following a hospital stay. At the hospital, they receive a high level of care from their medical providers, often getting detailed discharge instructions.
However, following these post-operative care instructions can prove difficult without adequate preparation or support. For example, it might be challenging for aging adults to manage their medications, communicate clearly with their physicians or monitor themselves for changes in their condition.
This lack of care planning and support post-surgery could cause adverse consequences or long-term health complications for aging adults.
