Transitional Home Care in Concord, NC
When a loved-one is discharged from a hospital or facility, their recovery isn’t necessarily complete once they return home. For older adults who live alone, and even for anyone with family support, it can be intimidating to sort through all the post-hospitalization instructions.
This is when an established home care agency, like Home Instead of Concord, is a valuable care partner. We take stock of what your senior needs to successfully recover and we build a care plan around their condition and goals. This makes for a smoother transition from facility to home, ensuring care management is built entirely around attentiveness, a safe environment and recuperation.
Home Instead's team will work with the hospital or facility's personnel to formulate a plan that addresses considerations both before and after discharge:
- Scheduling follow-up appointments
- Preparing a list of medications and scheduling medication reminders
- Taking note of dietary restrictions / allergies
- Running errands to ensure appropriate groceries are on hand
- Establishing physical activity routines (if necessary)
- Providing safe transport home from the hospital or facility.
- Picking up prescriptions
- Planning and preparing meals
- Assisting with showering, getting dressed, using the toilet, and other personal care items
- Offering companionship, mental stimulation and warmth during the recovery process
- Closely monitoring moods, mental states and any changes in condition
- Taking care of light housekeeping and chores around the home
- Ensuring a safe environment and providing support with walking to avoid falls
- Keeping family and medical staff updated with progress and any issues that arise
- And much more!

I signed on about 2 years ago; I was 90 years old at the time. I hired Home Instead to sit with me as a companion while I was in the hospital. When I returned home, I was unable to take care of myself. I needed help bathing, dressing, cooking, everything. I had around the clock care through Home Instead for about 4 weeks. As I improved, I cut my care down to just a few days a week and have kept the schedule ever since.
I remember everyone being very nice and professional when I signed on for care. It made me feel very comfortable. I was so relieved and happy that I could get some caring people to come in and help me.
Whenever I call the office, I am always able to get to the person I need to speak with. Everyone is always so kind and works hard to make sure my needs are being met. The communication is great and the quality of caregivers is excellent.
I have two: Sandra and Leslie. Sandra is one in a million. She always knows what to do, is very caring and has a great personality. She even helped me set up my sewing machine so that I could make masks to send to my family. Leslie is an absolute jewel. I have nothing but praise for her. They are both so friendly, professional, and understanding.
