Home Care After Rehab: What Families Need to Know

Rehab centers do incredible work helping seniors recover from surgery, illness, or injury—but what happens when your loved one returns home? Without the right support, many seniors experience setbacks and even hospital readmissions.

SAFE HOMECARE offers non-medical home care services designed to bridge the gap between rehab and independent living—especially in areas like Tulsa, OK; San Antonio, TX; Stuart, FL; and Denver, CO.

What Happens After Discharge?

After rehab discharge, your loved one may still need help with:

• Bathing and dressing

• Meal preparation and grocery shopping

• Medication reminders

• Getting to follow-up appointments

• Walking safely around the home

Unfortunately, Medicare-paid home health care typically visits only a few times per week.

That leaves large gaps in care—gaps that home care can fill.

How Home Care Supports Recovery

Non-medical caregivers provide:

• Daily assistance with personal care

• Fall prevention and home safety support

• Encouragement to follow therapy routines

• Companionship to reduce loneliness and depression

• Help managing routines and appointments

This kind of care is especially critical in the first 72 hours after returning home, when most complications occur.
