Recovering after surgery or a hospital stay can be challenging, especially for older adults. Post-hospital care for seniors in Seattle ensures your loved one has the right support at home—whether after a hip replacement, stroke, or extended rehab stay.

Why Post-Hospital Care for Seniors in Seattle Matters

Seattle families often face a tough question: “What happens after Mom or Dad is discharged?” Many seniors are sent home still weak, confused about their medications, or unable to manage stairs, meals, or hygiene.

Without proper aftercare, risks go up:

• Hospital readmissions

• Falls and injuries

• Missed medications

• Poor nutrition

• Isolation and depression

That’s why personalized in-home care after a hospital stay is so critical.

What Does In-Home Post-Hospital Senior Care Include?

Post-hospital care services in Seattle typically cover both physical recovery and daily support. With Caringene’s all-inclusive approach, seniors can recover safely and comfortably at home.

Services may include:

• Mobility support after surgeries like knee or hip replacement

• Medication reminders and follow-up appointment help

• Meal prep and nutrition support to promote healing

• Help with bathing, dressing, and hygiene

• Light housekeeping to maintain a safe environment

• Transportation to rehab or doctor visits

If your loved one needs help after discharge from Harborview, Swedish, Virginia Mason, or a local rehab facility, we’re here to bridge the gap.

Post-Surgery and Rehab Recovery at Home in Seattle

Whether coming home from skilled nursing or directly from the hospital, recovery doesn’t stop at discharge. Seattle seniors benefit from care that adjusts to their specific condition—be it heart surgery, pneumonia, stroke, or a fall-related injury.

• Hip/knee replacement recovery

• Stroke rehabilitation

• Heart and lung surgery support

• COPD or pneumonia recovery
