Core Post-Discharge Services

• First 72-Hour Safety Monitoring Daily check-ins to ensure the patient is stable, oriented, hydrated, nourished, and moving safely in their home environment.

• Mobility & Fall-Prevention Support Assistance with transfers, walking, bathroom safety, bed/chair positioning, and spotting early signs of weakness.

• Hydration & Nutrition Oversight Encouraging fluid intake, preparing simple meals, monitoring appetite, and watching for nausea or dehydration.

• Medication Reminders (Non-Medical) Ensuring the patient takes the correct dose at the correct time, without administering medication directly.

• Incision / Post-Procedure Awareness (Non-Medical) Visual check for unusual swelling, redness, or unusual pain or changes in condition — reported immediately to family.
