A step-by-step checklist for families navigating the critical first 30 days of home recovery after a hospital stay in the Denver metro area.
1. Pre-discharge planning
Before your loved one leaves the hospital, meet with the discharge planner to understand all medications, follow-up appointments, and equipment needs.
2. Setting up the home environment
Remove trip hazards, install grab bars in the bathroom, and ensure the bedroom is on the main floor if possible.
3. Coordinating skilled nursing visits
Schedule nursing visits within 48 hours of discharge. A registered nurse will assess the patient and create a home care plan.
