Post Hospital Assistance

At Joyful Hands, we understand that post-hospitalization recovery can be challenging for you and your loved ones. Thus, we offer post-hospital services to support your transition from hospital to home. Our experienced and compassionate caregivers assist with activities of daily living, medication reminder, and emotional support to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process. We strive to create a safe, nurturing environment that promotes optimal healing and well-being.

Our post-hospital assistance includes the following:

• 24-Hour Services This support is available to anyone who needs extra help to carry on living at home. It can include help with shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, dressing, and all other daily tasks. The need for 24-hour services can be prompted by accident, illness, dementia, frailty, disability, or frailty caused by the aging process.
• Companionship Our in-home services offer expert, compassionate assistance around the clock, making them an ideal choice if you are searching for a way to improve the quality of life of an older family member or friend. We provide individualized companionship, such as stimulating discussions or purposeful outings, to meet your requirements. Our crew will ensure they stay involved and occupied with fun activities that bring happiness and joy.
• Laundry Services One of the biggest benefits of laundry services is that they can help seniors stay independent. Laundry services can also help keep seniors healthy by ensuring they are wearing clean clothing.
• Meal Preparation Meal preparation and eating healthy and nutritional food are vital for seniors. Meal preparation assistance for the elderly is not just about cooking but involves so much more. Maintaining a regular and consistent schedule can also play a role in emotional and physical health.
• Nutrition Monitoring Nutrition is an important element of health in the older population and affects the aging process. The prevalence of malnutrition is increasing in this population and is associated with a decline in functional status, impaired muscle function, decreased bone mass, immune dysfunction, anemia, reduced cognitive function, poor wound healing, delayed recovery from surgery, higher hospital readmission rates, and mortality.
• Technology Assistance It can help the elderly live independently for longer by facilitating preventive assistance, early detection of, and response to, emerging health issues, as well as timely support for daily tasks. Seniors who use technology can also feel more connected to others, be better engaged in the community and world around them, and be more informed about current events and news.
• Bathing, Grooming & Dressing Maintaining good personal hygiene can be important in preventing sickness, while dressing can impact an elderly individual’s self-esteem. Grooming and dressing are integral to the activities of daily living.
• Errands & Transportation We help with errands, shopping, and transportation, which fall under the category of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). These skills are important in order to live independently, and that all of us do once we are up, out of bed, dressed, and ready to start our day. Transportation services for the elderly can help maintain a level of independence without the need for the seniors to drive themselves.
• Hospital to Home Following a discharge from the hospital, the first three days are critical. During this time frame and beyond, the support given to the elderly and their family plays a vital role in the recovery process at home. A hospital-to-home program offers a comprehensive and flexible solution that can provide the physical and emotional support needed to recover safely and comfortably.
• Light Housekeeping These include things like watering the plants, dusting surfaces and knickknacks, as well as picking up newspapers, magazines, and other clutter. It includes organizing drawers, shelves, and closets. In a nutshell, light housekeeping is completing the specific tasks required to tidy up areas that a client uses.
• Medication Reminders Is your loved one forgetting to take their meds? When needed, our caregivers can remind your loved one when it is time for them to take their medication.
• Overnight Services Assistance revolves around a multitude of services, which may include help using the restroom in the middle of the night, providing fluids and snacks in the evening, and assisting with preparing for bed. Elderly individuals may also receive help with transfer assistance throughout the night. Overnight caregivers can also prepare breakfast and offer morning service.
• Escort to Activities Escorting a senior to activities can help them if they feel unsafe or uncomfortable in public without accompaniment. Many trips are often used to assist seniors in utilizing the services of health professionals and agencies that they otherwise would not be able to access.
• Incontinence / Toileting When it’s time to go, they may not be able to do it on their own. Our caregivers will provide any assistance that your loved one may need with toileting needs and will provide a safe, secure, and dignified approach to meeting these needs.
• Live-In Services Live-in service is for seniors who need around-the-clock assistance from a caregiver. Assistance is generally non-medical and includes such tasks as medication management, shopping, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADL). Though caregivers sleep at the senior’s residence, they generally aren’t required for assistance at night.
• Fall Prevention A potential injury from a fall is one of the most common risks seniors face. Our caregivers will supervise and assist your loved one with their mobility, transfer, and redirection needs to ensure that they can safely ambulate and transfer with less risk of falls.
• Safety Supervision Because more accidents occur inside the home than anywhere else, seniors and their caregivers must do everything in their power to make sure their homes are as safe and secure as possible. Some of the steps that can be taken to ensure homes are safe for seniors and their families include removing clutter, adding better lighting, rearranging cabinets and drawers, and assessing the safety risks of the bathroom.
