When a loved one is discharged from the hospital it is one of the greatest reliefs in the world, as they are on their way towards making a full recovery. This transition is not always easy; especially if your loved one was in the hospital for an extended period of time and now requires post-acute care. Post-acute care can be a range of medical care services that support the individual’s continued recovery from illness. This service is designed to help those that are released from the hospital transition back into a normal routine. For seniors their transition back can be more difficult and their post-acute care may seem like another worry.
Post-acute care can be obtained at a variety of places such as inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), skilled-nursing facilities (SNFs) and long-term-care hospitals, as well as home- and community-based services, such as home health and hospice care. Some of these options though require your loved one to remain under the watchful eye of skilled and trained professionals away from home. These options may seem great to the caregiver, but later can become costly and a hassle if you wish to see your loved one on a daily basis. This care is necessary and should not be ignored, but options are available. IRFs and SNFs strip the patient of their independence, which may make your loved one upset as they no longer are able to care for themselves. Making a decision after a hospital stay can be overwhelming, but we can help. Being a caregiver is a job in itself, and we understand that you have other duties and priorities as well. Oxnard Family Circle Adult Day Health Care Center can assist you with your loved ones post-acute rehabilitation and care.
Before Making Your Decision

- Research and visit possible facilities
- Ask questions regarding your loved ones care options
