Understanding the Discharge Process at The Broadview Center

At The Broadview Center, discharge planning is led by a coordinated care team that includes:

• Attending physicians

• Rehabilitation therapists (PT/OT)

• Case managers/social workers

• The patient and their family

✅ How They Decide on Discharge:

• The patient is medically stable

• They’ve met rehab milestones (mobility, balance, cognition)

• A safe post-discharge care plan is in place

What You (or the Family) Need to Handle:

💡 Start discussing discharge at least 3–5 days before the release date to avoid a last-minute scramble.

🏠 When You’d Need Home Care After The Broadview Center

Home care is ideal when your loved one is stable enough to go home—but still needs support with everyday activities.

Signs Home Care is the Right Fit:

• Needs help with bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom

• Can’t safely prepare meals or manage medications

• Recently experienced a fall, stroke, or surgery

• Has mobility issues or memory loss

• Family members can’t provide care 24/7

What Home Care Can Include:

• Personal care (hygiene, toileting, grooming)

• Meal preparation and grocery shopping 🥘

• Light housekeeping (laundry, cleaning)

• Medication reminders

• Transportation to appointments

• Emotional support and companionship

“After Dad’s rehab stay at The Broadview Center, we weren’t ready to move him to a facility—but he wasn’t safe on his own. Caringene made it simple. They had someone there the next day.” – Mark T., Seattle

When You’d Need Assisted Living After The Broadview Center

If your loved one requires consistent supervision and care that exceeds what family or part-time home care can provide, assisted living may be the right fit.

When to Consider Assisted Living:

• They’ve had multiple falls or ER visits

• They need help with multiple daily tasks (bathing, walking, eating)

• They can’t manage medications or finances safely

• They’re experiencing isolation or depression

• Caregiver burnout is becoming an issue

Types of Assisted Living Facilities:

“Mom seemed fine at discharge, but her confusion got worse over time. After two scary incidents, we moved her to a memory care facility. It’s the best decision we made.” – Angela L., Shoreline

When You’d Need Hospice or Palliative Care After The Broadview Center

When the focus shifts from recovery to comfort, hospice or palliative care may be the most compassionate choice.

Know It’s Time If:

• The patient has a terminal diagnosis (cancer, late-stage CHF, COPD, etc.)

• Life expectancy is six months or less

• They’ve had multiple ER visits or hospital stays

• The patient wants quality of life over aggressive treatment

Hospice vs. Palliative Care Explained:

“Dad told us he didn’t want to go back to the hospital anymore. Hospice let him be home, in peace, with us by his side—and we had full support.” – Laura D., Seattle
