Dramatically Reduce Time, Cost, and Anxiety of

Getting Older Adults Home from the Hospital

Expert advice, workbook guide, CD’s and checklists you will need to make smart, cost effective decisions before, during and following hospitalization

Dear Friend,

Have you recently received “the call”? If you’re facing the news of your parent’s hospitalization, you’re probably feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps you flew in from out of state on a moment’s notice. Or you drove from nearby. Either way, questions need to be answered, and you need a plan.

Let me take a moment to share a brief story. Paul Sander was one of over 12 million older adults discharged from the hospital this past year. Arriving on an overnight flight, his daughter Cheryl and son-in-law Mark spent a week visiting in order to help bring him home. Cheryl spent hours on the phone each day trying to find someone to help her understand how much care her father needed, who would provide the care, and how much the care would cost. Without any alternatives, Cheryl committed to spending thousands of dollars per month on care for her father - but she wondered whether she had done the best thing for him. Then, weeks after she and her husband returned home, she received a panicked call from her mother telling her that the caregiver had suddenly quit. Back on the plane again, Cheryl hoped for an easier way to handle the situation. I am here today to tell you about a solution.

As professional care managers, we have helped hundreds of family through a hospital discharge and understand that the process can be overwhelming. Families are often left without a clear understanding of where to turn for answers or what steps to take next. Having guided hundreds of families through this process, we have assembled the critical steps that will enable you to make decisions that are financially smart and will save you hours of frustration. The complete Hospital Discharge Organizer includes:

    • Checklists to communicate effectively with doctors and medical specialists to understand the older adult’s current status and plan of care;
    • An assessment to identify and prioritize the older adult’s caregiving needs and interests that determine quality of care and quality of life;
    • A step by step process to evaluate the cost and quality of in-home care, including family or hired caregivers, or residential care;
    • A framework to estimate financial implications on current income and assets of current care options and long term care;
    • Written templates to bring together specific steps and actions for discharge process and establishing post-hospital caregiving;
    • Guidance on how and when a professional care manager may be a valuable resource;
