Post-Hospital & Recovery Care at Home
The most dangerous weeks are the ones right after discharge. We make them safe.
Nearly one in five seniors discharged from the hospital is readmitted within 30 days — often for preventable reasons: missed medications, falls, poor nutrition, or simply trying to do too much too soon. Daley Hope provides recovery support at home for patients across Bala Cynwyd, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia.
What does recovery care at home include?
Recovery care includes medication reminders on schedule, mobility support and fall prevention while strength returns, meal preparation for healing nutrition, transportation to follow-up appointments and therapy, personal care during limited mobility, and a watchful set of eyes reporting changes to family. It’s the everyday support layer that discharge instructions assume someone will provide.
Why do so many patients get readmitted after discharge?
Because hospitals send patients home with instructions, not help. Recovery fails at home over small things: a missed pill, a fall on the way to the bathroom at night, skipped meals because standing at the stove hurts, or a missed follow-up because no one could drive. A caregiver during the first days and weeks closes exactly those gaps.
When should we arrange care — before or after discharge?
Before, whenever possible. Call us while your loved one is still admitted — at Lankenau, Bryn Mawr, Penn, Jefferson, Delaware County Memorial, or any area hospital — and we can have a caregiver ready the day they come home. Discharge day is chaotic; the care plan shouldn’t be.
FAQ
Is this the same as home health (nursing/therapy)?
No — we provide the non-medical support layer. Many families use both: home health clinicians visit periodically; our caregiver provides daily support in between. We coordinate happily.
How long does recovery care usually last?
Commonly 2–8 weeks, then families either end care or transition to a lighter ongoing schedule. No long-term contracts.
Can care start on short notice?
Yes — hospital discharges are one of the situations where we move fastest. Call (445) 328-5980.
