Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Preparing for the journey home
Coming home after heart-related treatment can be a relief for the whole family. Before discharge, ask the treating team what help your loved one will need and what activities they can manage independently. Talk through a typical day and work out when family members can be there.
A father’s favourite chair by the window
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in Ampang whose 74-year-old father, Mr. Tan, is preparing to leave Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur after treatment for a heart-related condition. Before his hospital stay, he liked to make Chinese tea, read the newspaper and sit in his favourite armchair by the window. On weekends, he watched his grandchildren play.
As discharge approached, he found walking around the house and bathing more tiring than before. His daughter worked full-time and his son often travelled. His wife wanted to help, but some tasks were physically difficult for her.
The family asked the treating team what assistance Mr. Tan would need and agreed which hours they could cover. They explored homecare for the gaps and asked him what he wanted to keep doing for himself. His favourite chair stayed by the window, ready for the mornings he had been looking forward to.
Build support around familiar routines
Ask your loved one what matters most about coming home. Then discuss with the treating team how daily activities, rest and follow-up care should fit together. A shared schedule can help the family agree who will assist with meals, personal care and transport while allowing your loved one to do the activities they can manage.
Seven preparations before discharge
- Ask for written discharge instructions and a contact for questions.
- Clarify activity restrictions with the treating team and ask what assistance is appropriate.
- Prepare a comfortable resting area and arrange any recommended equipment.
- Review the medication list with the treating team and agree who will manage the routine.
- Confirm any dietary and fluid instructions and share them with those providing care.
- Confirm follow-up and rehabilitation arrangements, transport and who will accompany your loved one.
- Identify when the family may need extra help and discuss homecare availability early.
Before leaving hospital, ask the treating team which changes require urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
