Home is Best
Island Health provides many services in the community to help seniors with complex care needs return home to heal after a hospital stay.
Home is the best place to recover once an acute illness has resolved. Home is the best place to stay active and connected to your family, friends and community, and the best place to decide on your next steps for care.
The Let’s Get You Home booklet provides patients and their caregivers with information to help them transition from hospital to home.
What you can do:
When you are in hospital, talk to your health care providers about going home to heal and about any concerns you have.
Let your health care team know about supports you have to help you when you get home.
Plan to go home before making any life-changing decisions about your living arrangements, such as making a move to long-term care.
