Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Recovery continues at home
Leaving hospital after major surgery can be a relief, and it gives your family a new set of responsibilities. Ask the treating team to explain the discharge plan in writing, then talk with your loved one about which daily tasks they want help with and who can be there.
How Mr. Rajan’s family shared his care
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in Subang Jaya whose 68-year-old father, Mr. Rajan, is preparing to leave Sunway Medical Centre after major abdominal surgery. Before admission, he enjoyed evening walks with his wife and made tea for her every Sunday before reading his newspaper.
As discharge approached, the treating team explained his activity restrictions, wound care instructions and follow-up appointments. At home, he would need more help getting out of bed, bathing and dressing. His wife wanted to help but had physical limitations of her own.
The family worked out what they could cover and explored professional help with the more demanding parts of his routine. Mr. Rajan helped them decide when he wanted assistance and how to keep familiar moments in his day, including Sunday tea with his wife.
Plan daily care around rehabilitation
Ask the hospital team which activities your loved one can do independently, when they need help and which tasks require a qualified professional. Put rehabilitation sessions and medical reviews on the same calendar as family visits and caregiver shifts so everyone knows who is available.
Seven preparations before discharge
- Ask for written discharge instructions and a contact for questions.
- Confirm activity and lifting restrictions with the treating team and ask for a demonstration of any tasks the family will help with.
- Prepare a comfortable place to rest and arrange equipment recommended by the treating team.
- Discuss how your loved one would prefer to receive help with bathing, dressing and toileting.
- Confirm who should provide any recommended wound care and arrange it before discharge.
- Confirm rehabilitation and follow-up appointments, transport and who will accompany your loved one.
- Compare your family’s availability with your loved one’s care needs and discuss any gaps with a homecare provider.
Before leaving hospital, ask the treating team which changes require urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
