Post-Hospital Care for Seniors in Seattle (2025 Update)
Jul 1, 2025
Your loved one is coming home from the hospital—but what now?
Recovery doesn’t stop at discharge. Without proper support, older adults in Seattle are at high risk of falls, readmission, and declining health after a hospital stay.
That’s why post-hospital care at home is essential—especially after surgery, stroke, or extended rehab.
Why Post-Hospital Home Care Matters for Seattle Seniors
Families often feel overwhelmed when a parent is discharged from Harborview, Swedish, or Virginia Mason. Your loved one may come home:
Weak and disoriented
Unable to climb stairs or prepare meals
Confused about medications
Emotionally fragile or isolated
Without the right help, this can quickly lead to:
Hospital readmission
Falls and injuries
Missed medications
Malnutrition and dehydration
Post-surgical complications
💡 The first 7–14 days after discharge are critical. That’s where Caringene steps in.
