ICRIT Healthcare and Supporting a Hospital Discharges
GREAT NEWS!
Your relative is ready to come home is really positive news. On further discussion the elation turns to despair on how you will be able to provide the care needed. This could be someone who already benefits from a care plan and this now needs to be increased or it might be someone who is now in need of support for the first time.
Typically as part of the discharge the care needed will be discussed in detail with all parties and the medical profession will detail what they will do which is clinical led care which may involve visits to attend to wounds, dressings, medication, etc. Personal care is where family will be expected to provide or make arrangements to supplement or compliment the medical care.
ICRIT Healthcare work closely with both hospitals and families providing both nursing led support on discharge and also home care and live-in care where appropriate and agreed with all those involved in the care plan. The discharge does not have to be daunting and many a study undertaken have demonstrated that recuperation is improved when the patient is in a familiar environment and is comfortable with their surroundings.
The hospital discharge should be celebrated. Any doubts or fears please do not hesitate to get in contact with ICRIT Healthcare and we will support you and your family member through the process stepping away when full recuperation is complete.
