Transitioning from hospital to home care

September 15, 2023

It can be a troubling and scary time when a family member is in hospital, and it becomes clear that they need more care once they get sent home. Finding the right care company is important and can be a difficult and testing situation to navigate. At Platinum Care, we pride ourselves on being able to help families who are going through this and work on providing the right care for their family members.

Caring for a family member is difficult and can be emotionally and physically draining on the whole family. Having someone outside coming in to help can be the solution you need, and Platinum Care is on hand to help you. We specialise in home care and can help you get through the tricky period of transitioning between the hospital and getting back home.

When working out what care you or your family member needs, it’s important to discuss with doctors, nurses and any other medical care professionals you’ve been dealing with. If we can get that information from you, we can tailor the care to fit the client’s exact needs.

The carers at Platinum Care are highly trained and specialise in a variety of different needs for our clients, so we’ll have the right team for you to work with. We can do different types of care, from full care with multiple carers on shift to morning or evening care to help get the client out of bed and dressed or get them ready for bed and settled for the night. We can also help with medicine preparation and dispensing so you know that your family member is getting the right dose at the right time. We work with you to work out the right care schedule, the structure for their day and how we’ll administer medicine. All our carers have the ability to check in with the office for any issues so we can check in on them and the client.

When transitioning from the hospital, we’ll work with you to allow the client to settle back into their home at their own pace and with everything they need to regain independence.

If you want to help your family member get the care they deserve and give you peace of mind that they are being well looked after, contact Platinum Care today and see how we can help.
