Almost 1 in 5 seniors discharged from hospitals are re-admitted within a month

After being discharged from the hospital, individuals will often still need support with activities of daily living, wound care and pain management. Usually, they’ll also need to make frequent trips to the hospital for rehabilitation therapy and follow-up appointments. For some, such as stroke survivors, long-term care may be required.

Making care arrangements for the transition from hospital to home takes time, and a family member often assumes the role of the primary caregiver. Without proper caregiving knowledge, experience and skills, family caregivers may not be able to deliver the best care to their loved one as much as they’d like to. This can compromise the wellbeing of both the caregiver and the care recipient.

For those who live alone, it can be difficult to cope with post-surgery care at home as well.

What is post-surgery care?

Personal Care

Assist with the activities of daily living (ADLs) – eating, bathing, getting dressed, toileting, transferring, and continence.

Home Therapy

Alleviate symptoms and improve bodily functions through prescribed treatment plans.

Medical Escort

Accompany and facilitate transport to-and-fro between home and medical appointments, scans and treatment visits.

Nursing Care

Respite Care

A seamless transition from hospital to home

Having proper care support, a suitable home environment and caregivers equipped with the right skills and knowledge play a key role in post-surgery recovery.

Besides educating ourselves on how to care for our loved ones, we can also consider seeking professional care support to ensure our loved ones get the best care and so we can take time off to ourselves and avoid caregiver burnout.

Whether you need short-term respite or long-term care support, there are various care options available that will suit your care needs.

Wonderful app wonderful service

Have been using this for a year to help my grandfather who frequently gets aspiration pneumonia and has difficulty leaving the house. The app is so easy to use, and the cherry on top is the wonderful service behind the app. Had some difficulty finding a doctor recently and Hakim called me back personally twice to ensure a doctor was found. Thank you so much, cannot recommend this app more.

Homage CP render their professional service to my dad who is a dialysis patient. CP assigned to wheel my dad to & fro from Dialysis Center within 300m walking distance.

Doctor is qualified, friendly

Had a good experience with Homage's teleconsultation. The doctor is qualified, friendly and guided me on examination. She also explained my symptoms to me in detail, which is useful. The report provided has detailed information, and medicine was delivered to me on the same day even though my appointment was in the evening.
