Hospital Discharge Care

Time to come HOME!

Coming home from the hospital should feel like a step toward recovery, but for many seniors and their families, it brings stress and uncertainty. Hospital discharge often occurs faster than expected, with little time to plan, leaving families to navigate new routines, medications, mobility changes, and safety concerns without much guidance. It can feel overwhelming to take on that level of responsibility overnight.

Our hospital discharge care services for seniors in Vancouver are designed to make the transition home safer, smoother, and far less stressful. We provide planning and gentle, practical support during the first days and weeks after discharge. Whether your loved one is returning home after surgery, an illness, a fall, or a medical procedure, we’re here to ensure they receive the care and attention they need to recover comfortably at home.

At ABC Home Support, our focus is on creating a stable and calming environment from the moment your loved one walks through the door. This may include help with settling in, reviewing care instructions, arranging medications, preparing meals, and supporting mobility as strength returns. Many seniors feel unsteady during the first 24–48 hours at home, so having a trained caregiver present can reduce the risk of falls and other avoidable setbacks.

Our post-hospital care can include:

• Assistance getting safely in and out of the vehicle and into the home
• Support with bathing, dressing, and gentle personal care
• Medication reminders and help organizing new prescriptions
• Meal preparation and hydration support
• Light housekeeping to keep the home safe and tidy
• Mobility assistance and fall-prevention
• Monitoring for changes in comfort, mood, or recovery
• Respite care for family members who need rest after long hospital days

Before care begins, we will coordinate with medical teams and family caregivers to understand what your loved one will need once they’re home. We’ll review aftercare instructions and mobility requirements, and ensure any equipment and supplies required for post-hospital care for elderly clients are set up and ready to use.

Recovery doesn’t always progress in a straight line. Our caregivers are trained to recognize and respond to what your loved one’s needs are showing us, offering supportive guidance, reassurance, and practical help at a pace that feels right for them.

We’re here to make the transition from hospital to home as smooth and safe as possible, one step and one day at a time.
