Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Preparing for your loved one’s return home
Hearing that a loved one can leave hospital is a relief. It also raises practical questions about who will be at home, what help will be needed and how the family will share care. Start with the hospital’s discharge instructions and your loved one’s preferences, then work through a typical day together.
A family’s promise to Mum
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in Precinct 11, Putrajaya. Their 78-year-old mother is preparing to leave Hospital Putrajaya after treatment for a serious respiratory infection. Before admission, she enjoyed cooking, tending her small garden and spending time with her grandchildren.
As discharge approaches, the family learns that Mum now needs help getting out of bed and reaching the bathroom. Bathing tires her, and the family wants to understand the hospital team’s instructions for meals and drinks. Her daughter works full-time, her son lives in Kuala Lumpur, and her husband cannot provide all the physical assistance she needs.
One evening, her daughter tells her how happy they are that she’s coming home. Mum smiles and says, “I just want to go home.”
The family asks the treating team what support Mum needs. They agree who will be with her at different times of day and discuss caregiver visits for the hours they cannot cover. Mum helps them plan around the daily routines she wants to keep.
What support might your loved one need?
Discuss mobility, personal hygiene, meals and supervision with the treating team. Ask your loved one what feels most difficult, which activities they want to keep doing themselves and where they would welcome a hand. Include family availability in the discussion, particularly if the people providing care are also working or living elsewhere.
Seven preparations before discharge
- Review discharge instructions. Ask for written guidance, follow-up dates and whom to contact with concerns.
- Prepare a comfortable place to rest. Discuss recommended equipment with the treating team and keep everyday items within reach.
- Review bathroom and mobility needs. Ask what support is appropriate and request a demonstration of tasks the family will help with.
- Clarify nutrition and hydration instructions. Ask whether the treating team has given any specific advice and keep it with the care plan.
- Agree on medication responsibilities. Review the written medicine list with the team and decide who will manage the routine.
- Arrange follow-up appointments. Confirm the dates, transport and who will accompany your loved one.
- Discuss homecare early. Share the expected discharge date, care address and times of day when extra support may help.
