Post Hospital Care

Improving Transitions from the Hospital to Home Health Care

A collaborative team approach helps to dramatically improve care transitions and reduce re-hospitalization rates. Delivering high quality health care requires crucial contributions from many parts of the care continuum. It is a true team effort.

Rehabilitation and Specialized Programs

As leaders in post-hospital surgical care and rehabilitation, our highly trained therapy team offers individualized treatment plans utilizing the most innovative technologies.

Care Planning

The care plan begins with a comprehensive assessment of the patient, including level of function and social, mental, and medical conditions. The plan focuses on maximizing independence and functioning to the highest level possible. The care plan is revised every quarter or when the resident’s condition changes. Families are strongly encouraged to participate in quarterly care plan sessions.

Home Evaluations Prior To Discharge

We want you to know exactly what to expect once you return home. That’s why we schedule your home assessments before you leave. Our assessments are performed by our rehabilitation therapists and can be one-on-one or in the presence of friends and family. During these evaluations, we focus on the home environment and assess the ability to navigate through the home safely. When we have completed our assessment, we make recommendations on any adaptations that need to be made prior to discharge.

Discharge Planning

Sweden Valley Manor views this as a critical component of healing, which is why we begin the process on admission. Our case managers are there every step of the way, ensuring a smooth transition and offering assistance in obtaining items and services prior to returning home, including:

• medication reconciliation
• scheduling follow up appointments with primary care physician and specialists
• review written discharge plan
• order necessary equipment identified during home evaluations
• review information regarding what steps to take in an emergency situation
