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.
