New Hampshire Senior Care Company Announces Local Hospital to Home Care Program
New Hampshire Senior Care Company Announces Local Hospital to Home Care Program
Bedford, NH (PRWEB) January 14, 2012
Home Care Assistance of New Hampshire, the leading provider of in-home care for seniors throughout the state, is proud to announce the Hospital to Home Care program, a comprehensive set of educational resources for families managing the difficult transition home after hospitalization. The program helps families prepare for discharge, manage the unique needs of post-hospitalization patients and coordinate recovery at home.
“Our Hospital to Home Care initiative is a wonderful program designed to help seniors and their families navigate the hospital discharge process,” said Lauren Robison, Owner of Home Care Assistance of New Hampshire. “This process can be both time consuming and frustrating to patients. For this reason, we created a suite of information to facilitate and reduce the pressure experienced by patients and families alike.”
The program is supported by the book, From Hospital to Home Care, written by Home Care Assistance co-founders Dr. Kathy Johnson, Dr. James Johnson and Lily Sarafan. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and resources associated with each step in the transition from hospital to the home, explains the discharge process from an inpatient hospital stay, outlines common issues associated with specific medical conditions, discusses the unique needs of recently hospitalized patients and emphasizes the importance of home care in patient outcomes and quality of life. Home Care Assistance is also excited to unveil HospitaltoHomeCare.com, a free online resource for families seeking information about the discharge process and recovery at home.
“The entire Hospital to Home Care program is anchored in the belief that patients can recover and rehabilitate at home following a hospitalization,” said Lily Sarafa, Executive President of Home Care Assistance. “Our clients benefit tremendously from a familiar home environment and their families enjoy peace of mind knowing that trained professionals are on hand to support their loved ones.”
Hospital to Home Care is part of a long-term initiative at Home Care Assistance to encourage recovery and rehabilitation at home while reducing avoidable hospital readmissions. Alongside the psychological and emotional benefits of recovery at home, patients also benefit from dedicated one-on-one support from a caregiver. In addition, patients avoid the infection risk associated with care facilities and enjoy greater freedom outside of an institutional setting.
“Our mission at Home Care Assistance is to change the world ages,” said Sarafan. “We have been able to help countless clients with their post-hospitalization recovery at home and now we’ve been able to transfer that expertise into informative resources for the public. By encouraging patients to recover at home and reducing avoidable hospital readmissions, we hope to re-shape how families and health professionals think about post-hospitalization care.”
From Hospital to Home Care: A Step by Step Guide to Providing Care to Patients Post Hospitalization is available for pre-order on Amazon.com for $ 17.95. A 16-page PDF guide to the discharge and recovery process is available for free at http://www.HospitaltoHomeCare.com.
