Planning for Care After You Leave the Hospital

Your care team will work with you and your caregiver to plan your care once you leave the hospital. This may occur by phone or video call.

Your Plan may include instructions such as:

  • When to call the doctor
  • Medicines
  • Wound care
  • Activity
  • Nutrition
  • Follow-up appointments
  • Any special instructions

Caregiver Training:

Your caregiver may need training for your care at home. This could include tube feeding, wound care, and giving you medicines.

If so, they will be allowed to visit you in the hospital for that training. Your caregiver will be expected to follow all steps required to prevent the spread of infection.

Be sure to review the visitor policy page for more details.
