Preparing for the return home
When an older parent is ready to leave hospital, families often have to reorganise familiar routines. Start by asking the treating team what help your parent will need, then discuss who can provide it and which hours your family can cover.
A father’s wish to return home after a hip fracture
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Mr. Lim took pride in tending his garden and sometimes made breakfast for his grandchildren. After a fall and hospital treatment for a hip fracture, he needed help getting out of bed, bathing and using the bathroom.
His daughter was relieved he could soon come home. She worked full-time and had two children, her brother returned from Kuala Lumpur in the evenings, and their mother could not provide the physical assistance he needed.
When his daughter asked whether he was looking forward to coming home, he smiled. “Of course. I miss my garden. And I miss my morning coffee.”
That evening, the family discussed how to help him follow his rehabilitation plan and keep the routines he valued. They compared their schedules and explored professional help for the hours they couldn’t cover.
Seven preparations before discharge
- Ask for written discharge instructions and a contact for questions.
- Confirm weight-bearing and mobility instructions with the treating team. Ask them to demonstrate any assistance family members are expected to provide.
- Prepare the sleeping area and arrange any equipment the team recommends.
- Review the route to the bathroom and discuss recommended adaptations.
- Review the medication list with the treating team and agree who will manage the routine.
- Confirm rehabilitation and follow-up appointments, transport and who will accompany your loved one.
- Discuss caregiving arrangements early and identify gaps in the family schedule.
