Are you confident you're ready to support an older person's recovery at home?

Get prepared with our FREE Hospital Discharge Planning Checklist

Leaving hospital isn’t the end of care. You’ll need to arrange things like medications, meals, mobility aids, transport, and home-based support for continuity of care.

This checklist will help to keep some key points top of mind during a stressful time:

  • What to expect before leaving hospital
  • What types of services can be arranged in advance
  • How to prepare the home for an older person’s return

Careful discharge planning can help older people and caregivers feel more in control and prepared for the transition home after hospital.

It’s hard to know what help is needed until an older person has left hospital.

If new or different help is needed after returning home, Empower Aged Care can review and adjust home care arrangements and navigate My Aged Care for you.
