After hospital care, post operative care at home and home care services after surgery, can be elements of your hospital visit and subsequent discharge, that gets overlooked or forgotten. Many people dislike having to go to hospital for surgery or treatment and most don’t want to stay longer than is absolutely necessary. Hospital is loud, constantly busy, and patients are disrupted day and night. Although hospital provides an environment for patients to undergo treatment, it is not an ideal place for recovery. The best place to recover after being hospitalised is in your own home.
Having the right after hospital care in place before you leave hospital, can often be the difference between an optimal recovery and an average one. Colbrow Care can help make your post-surgical or extended hospitalisation stay shorter by offering you the opportunity to recover in the comfort of your own home. Instead of bright lights, noisy machines, and constant interruptions, you can sleep comfortably in your own bed, surrounded by family and friends whilst enjoying home cooked foo

After hospital care is the process that occurs as soon as you are discharged from hospital to home, having been given the all clear from your treating healthcare professionals. Colbrow Care’s Rapid Discharge Planning team will have already liaised with your healthcare team and put in place all the community care and support services you will need to optimise your recovery.
For many ageing Australians who have undergone surgery or been hospitalised for an extended period, falls are a real risk when returning home. Statistically, the risks are much lower for those who have temporary home care after surgery. Colbrow Care’s after hospital care for the elderly includes a falls risk assessment and a plan to mitigate any risk accordingly. Moreover, having post operative care at home is proven to lower the incidence of avoidable hospital readmissions, which are defined as the potentially preventable and subsequent unplanned admissions related to the patient’s index (initial) admission.
