The hospital-to-home checklist I wish every family had. Created by a speech-language pathologist with 10+ years working with adults and older adults — and a daughter who navigated her own dad's hospitalizations. This guide walks you through exactly what to ask, track, and prepare before discharge day arrives.
Inside, you'll find:
ADL & IADL checklists to assess what support your loved one really needs
A Cognition & Communication checklist to catch changes that are easy to miss
A Fall Risk & Home Safety checklist to prep the house before they walk in the door
A "Getting Home Ready" equipment & medication checklist
Questions to ask the care team: organized by medical, therapy, insurance, and next-level-of-care
A Discharge Day departure checklist, so nothing gets left behind (literally or logistically)
