The First 24 Hours After Hospital Discharge
After hospital home care helps bridge the gap between discharge and settling safely back into everyday life. During the first 24 hours at home, it’s important to watch for:
- Falls while getting in and out of bed or using the bathroom for the first time.
- Missed medications or confusion about new medication schedules.
- Increased pain or swelling that becomes difficult to manage.
- Early signs of infection, bleeding, or unexpected changes around the surgical site.
- Fatigue, dizziness, or disorientation after anesthesia that makes everyday tasks unsafe.
Navigating Recovery in a Familiar Setting
Most Winnipeg hospitals discharge patients as soon as it’s medically safe. You’ll leave with discharge instructions, medications, and follow-up appointments, but you may still need support with daily tasks, mobility, and recovery at home.
Partners for Home Care provides post-surgery home care that helps bridge the gap after hospital discharge. If public hospital home care services aren’t available right away, our team can provide professional support from the day you return home, helping you recover with greater comfort, confidence, and peace of mind.
