Going home from hospital
Home is often the best place to recover once an acute illness has resolved. Island Health provides many services in the community to help seniors and others with complex care needs return home safely after a hospital stay.
The Let’s Get You Home booklet offers guidance for patients and caregivers during this transition.
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.
- share any concerns about supports you may need.
- plan to go home before making any life-changing decisions about your living arrangements, such as making a move to long-term care.
