A hospital discharge can feel overwhelming, for patients and families alike. It’s often more than just “going home.” There are medications to manage, follow-up appointments to schedule, new routines to establish, and sometimes even changes to the level of care needed.
In this episode of the Caregiving Corner Podcast, we break down what families need to know about the discharge process, including:
· Why clear communication with Discharge Planner or Case Worker is essential
· Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
· How to prepare the home and support system for a safe transition
· The role Care Managers can play in coordinating care and reducing stress
Our goal is to help families feel empowered and equipped during what can be a stressful transition. Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming discharge or reflecting on a past experience, this conversation provides practical insights and compassionate guidance.
