Preparing for the transition home
Leaving hospital is a milestone. Before your loved one comes home, talk through the discharge plan with the treating team and identify who can help with daily routines, follow-up visits and communication between family members.
A son’s promise to Appa
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in Pandan Indah whose 70-year-old father, Mr. Kumar, is preparing to leave Hospital Ampang after treatment for a stroke. Before his hospital stay, he enjoyed morning walks, reading the newspaper and telling his grandchildren stories about his younger days.
As discharge approached, weakness on one side made getting out of bed, walking and dressing harder. Sometimes he needed extra time to express himself. His family wanted him back in familiar surroundings and needed to work out who could help through the day.
“Appa, everything will be ready when you come home.” His son asked the treating team to explain the written discharge plan. The family then shared responsibilities and discussed homecare for the hours they couldn’t cover. They asked Mr. Kumar which routines he wanted to keep and gave him time to tell them.
Five questions to ask before discharge
- What can my loved one do independently, and what should someone help with?
- Which written instructions apply to medicines, meals and follow-up care?
- What precautions should the family follow for mobility, transfers or eating and drinking?
- What equipment is recommended, and can the team show us how to use it?
- Who will provide daily assistance, and whom should we contact if concerns arise?
Plan the first 72 hours at home
Before arrival
Confirm transport, prepare the resting area and make sure any equipment recommended by the treating team is ready. Put the discharge instructions and contact numbers where everyone providing care can find them.
On the first day
Agree who will be at home and how the family will follow the written instructions for meals, medicines and daily activities. Give your loved one time to settle in and ask how they would like help with personal care.
Over the next two days
Review what has been difficult, confirm who will accompany your loved one to follow-up visits and share questions with the treating team. Assign a family contact for routine updates, and agree who will coordinate appointments and medication responsibilities.
Before leaving hospital, ask the treating team which changes need urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
