How Home Care Supports Recovery After a Hospital Stay

When a senior is discharged from the hospital, the journey to full recovery doesn’t end—it simply moves home.

Our in-home care services are thoughtfully designed to guide patients through this vulnerable time, offering the medical and personal assistance they need to remain safe, comfortable and confident at home.

Here’s how our care teams help make that possible.

Skilled Home Health: Clinical Expertise Where It Matters Most

Our Skilled Home Health services are a cornerstone of our transitional care. Through our Get Home, Stay Home program, we help seniors avoid unnecessary hospital readmissions by delivering medical care right at home.

Elara’s multidisciplinary team, including registered nurses, physical and occupational therapists and social workers, works closely with patients, families and hospital staff to create a customized care plan that supports every step of the recovery journey.

Benefits of Elara Caring’s Skilled Home Health:

• Medication Management
  Our nurses help seniors understand and adhere to complex medication regimens, reducing the risk of missed doses or dangerous drug interactions.
• Post-Surgical or Wound Care
  Specialized care for surgical sites, wounds or pressure ulcers helps speed healing and minimize infection risks.
• Chronic Condition Monitoring
  We assist with managing conditions like heart disease, diabetes and COPD, keeping symptoms under control and providing early intervention if needed.
• Rehabilitation Support
  Physical and occupational therapists support mobility, balance and strength to help seniors regain independence.
• Care Coordination
  We partner with your loved one’s primary care providers and specialists to ensure a seamless recovery and ongoing support.

Personal Care Services: Support for Everyday Living

For many seniors, the biggest challenges after a hospital stay are not medical—they’re personal. Tasks like bathing, dressing, preparing meals or moving safely around the house can be overwhelming when strength and stamina are low.

Elara Caring’s Personal Care Services are designed to fill this gap, providing compassionate, non-medical support that promotes independence while reducing stress on family caregivers.

Benefits of Elara Caring Personal Care Services:

• Assistance with Daily Activities
  Help with bathing, grooming, dressing and toileting ensures your loved one feels clean, comfortable and dignified.
• Mobility and Safety Support
  Caregivers assist with walking, transfers and fall prevention—key to avoiding further injury.
• Meal Preparation and Nutrition
  We prepare nutritious meals tailored to doctor-recommended diets, supporting recovery with the right foods.
• Medication Reminders
  While not administering medications, our caregivers help ensure they’re taken on schedule and according to the care plan.
• Companionship and Emotional Reassurance
  Emotional health matters. Our caregivers provide social interaction, reducing feelings of isolation or anxiety that can delay healing.
• Flexible Schedules
  From a few hours a week to full-day support, care plans are tailored to each family’s needs and adjusted as recovery progresses.
