Introduction
The transition from a rehabilitation center back to home often exposes patients to risks—medication errors, loss of mobility gains, and challenges with daily activities can all undermine recovery. Homewatch CareGivers of Libertyville specializes in after‑hospital and post‑surgery support, ensuring your patients preserve their progress and heal safely in the comfort of their own homes.
1. The Rehab‑to‑Home Divide: Why Continuous Support Matters
- Diminished gains: Without regular follow‑up, even outstanding inpatient therapy can’t guarantee maintained strength or balance.
- Medication errors: Skipped doses or confusion over schedules may lead to complications like infections or dehydration.
- ADL hurdles: Everyday tasks—bathing, dressing, toileting—often become insurmountable without assistance.
Integrating Homewatch CareGivers of Libertyville into your post‑discharge plan proactively addresses these vulnerabilities.
