Post-surgery home care in Aurora helps patients recover safely after leaving the hospital. Here’s how hospital discharge care works for families near the Anschutz Medical Campus and across Aurora.
What is hospital discharge care?
Hospital discharge care is the support a patient receives at home after leaving the hospital—such as skilled nursing visits, wound care, medication management, and therapy. Its goal is a safe recovery and fewer avoidable trips back to the hospital.
Before leaving the hospital
Many Aurora patients are discharged from hospitals on or near the Anschutz Medical Campus. Before you leave, ask the discharge planner for a written medication list, follow-up appointments, equipment needs, and whether home health care has been ordered by the physician. (MediGuard is an independent agency and is not affiliated with the Anschutz Medical Campus.)
Post-surgery home care
After surgery, a skilled nurse can help with post-surgical care, wound care, catheter care, and monitoring for signs of complications. Every care plan is supervised by a Registered Nurse and coordinated with the patient’s doctor.
Physical therapy near Anschutz—at home
Instead of traveling to appointments while still recovering, physical therapy can come to you. In-home physical therapy focuses on strength, balance, and mobility in the place where your loved one actually lives, and speech therapy is available when needed.
