Your Wellbeing, Our Aim.
Preparing for care at home
Coming home after a serious illness can be a relief. It can also mean adjusting daily routines around a parent’s energy, mobility and the care their treating team recommends. Before discharge, discuss what your loved one can manage, what help they would welcome and who will be there to provide it.
A daughter’s promise to Ayah
Illustrative family scenario. This fictional story is for educational purposes.
Imagine a family in Kota Damansara whose 69-year-old father, Encik Rahman, is preparing to leave hospital after treatment for a serious infection. He lives with diabetes and had managed his daily routine independently before admission. He liked waking early for Subuh prayers, making breakfast and reading the newspaper.
As discharge approached, he tired more easily and needed help getting out of bed, bathing and dressing. His daughter worked in Petaling Jaya and had two school-going children. Her brother worked in Shah Alam, and their mother was elderly. When she saw Ayah looking quietly at his prayer cap, she thought about how much his morning routine meant to him.
“Ayah, we will take care of you.” The family asked the treating team to explain his home care instructions, agreed who could be with him during the day and discussed professional support for the remaining hours. Ayah helped them choose a schedule that made room for prayer, breakfast and visits with his grandchildren.
Agree on what family, caregivers and nurses will do
Discuss who will help with personal care, meals, companionship and other agreed daily routines. Ask the treating team to clarify any diabetes-related instructions, including who is responsible for medicines, monitoring or clinical procedures. Share the written instructions with the registered nurse reviewing the homecare request so the family understands which tasks require qualified staff.
Seven preparations before discharge
- Ask for written discharge instructions and a contact for questions.
- Ask the treating team to clarify the diabetes care plan and who should handle each task.
- Review the route from the entrance to the bedroom and bathroom, and discuss recommended equipment.
- Confirm mobility and transfer assistance with the treating team and request a demonstration if needed.
- Clarify any meal and hydration instructions and share them with those providing care.
- Confirm follow-up visits, transport and any nursing arrangements.
- Agree which hours the family can cover and discuss caregiver availability for any gaps.
Before leaving hospital, ask the treating team which changes need urgent attention and whom to contact if they occur.
