Risks Faced by Seniors Without Hospital-to-Home Discharge Service

Increased Risk of Rehospitalization: The transition from hospital to home can be challenging for seniors, especially those with complex medical conditions or limited mobility. Without a coordinated discharge plan and support services, there’s a higher chance of complications, medication errors, or difficulty managing self-care tasks, leading to a return trip to the hospital.

Delayed Recovery: Seniors may struggle to follow discharge instructions, leading to delayed recovery and increased risk of infections. Without proper guidance and monitoring, they might miss crucial follow-up appointments or therapy sessions, hindering their progress.

Safety Concerns: Challenges with mobility, medications, or managing daily activities can increase the risk of falls, household accidents, and injuries. Seniors left alone without proper support might face difficulty accessing healthy meals, transportation, or getting help in an emergency.

Social Isolation and Depression: The sudden shift from a hospital environment to home can be isolating, especially for seniors who live alone. Without social interaction or emotional support, feelings of loneliness and depression can worsen, impacting their overall well-being.

Increased Burden on Family Caregivers: Family members may struggle to manage all the complex needs of a senior recovering at home. Without assistance, they might experience stress, burnout, and neglect their own well-being.
