Post-Rehab Stay, Resources to Consider

Non-Medical Home Care

There can often be a misconception about an individual being “back to baseline” after a rehabilitation stay. Although therapy and support are often ongoing and continued upon discharge, it may be beneficial to have a layer of companionship alongside those resources. Non-Medical Home Care or Private Duty, Personal Services can provide meal preparation support, socialization, transportation, and exercise encouragement. Transitioning home is a critical time, and most successful when layers of support are available.

Leaning on done-for-you resources is going to save you time, money, and the energy exerted to research from ground-zero, on your own. Senior.One meets you where you are and guides you every step of the way. From direct care providers to a full Resource Center available to provide education on what this journey might look like and entail, making it so easy to get started with confidence.

Family Conversations

This is as good of a time as any to begin conversations around your loved one’s requests, desires, dreams and wishes. It doesn’t mean the end of the road is right around the corner, but a crisis that results in a rehabilitation stay is a great time to consider what items are in place vs not.

Assisted Living

If your loved one is open to learning about what communities and living settings might be best for them, connecting with a Senior.One care advisor can be a great first step. Your Senior.One care advisor will listen closely to what is important to you in your search and guide you through options that fit your needs. A Senior.One Care Advisor can help you understand the process from start to finish and answer questions along the way.

Self-Care & Mental Health

Keeping your own mental health and self-care practices somewhat top of mind, will allow you the energy and ability to navigate this brand-new world of Senior Care and the overwhelming amount of information and decisions that will be needing to be made. Support groups to gather with others who have similar experiences that you can learn and grow from, is a wonderful place to learn how others are taking care of themselves while caring for others.

Use the heightened awareness and increased willingness after a stay in a rehabilitation to discuss health challenges, changes, wishes, and plans.
