Hospital to Home
The 24/7 home care promise
Upon the relief of discharge from hospital, the last thing any family wants to have to face is readmission. Lack of appropriate care and support following a hospital discharge is actually a leading cause of hospital re-admission, and this is where Home Care Assistance Sydney City and East can help.
It is the initial 3 days following a hospital stay that are the most critical and vulnerable time for patient as people adjust to changes to their prehospital daily habits, regimes of medications, rehab exercises and dietary modifications.
Our specially trained Care Workers at Home Care Assistance Sydney City and East are there from the moment of discharge, providing careful transport home from hospital and essential support during an often stressful time once at home. Our Care Workers provide monitoring and updates to families, reminders, and important emotional support to help the individual recover faster and more successfully.
