Don’t Get Lost in the System: Navigating Hospitalizations and Care Transitions

Learn how to advocate for your aging loved one during hospital stays and after discharge. This program offers practical tips for communicating with healthcare providers, managing medications and health records, scheduling follow-up care, and preparing the home for recovery. We’ll also review common post-discharge care options—such as home health, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing—to help families choose the right level of support and reduce the risk of avoidable re-hospitalizations.
