72-hour Post Discharge

A “Sitter” is a caregiver who provides one-on-one supervision and care during the critical first 72 hours after a hospital discharge or a fall. The primary responsibilities of a Sitter include monitoring the patient’s condition, assisting with basic care needs, acting as a communication bridge between the patient, their family, and the healthcare team, and providing emotional support. They work under the supervision of a healthcare professional and follow the care plan provided by the healthcare team.

Our Sitters provide constant supervision and report to the nurse in charge or family contact to promptly address any issues. They can also help report any change in conditions and observe the need for a higher level of care if necessary. This ensures the well-being of residents during the vulnerable post-discharge period.

Our vigilant Sitters provide continuous monitoring, addressing potential issues quickly to minimize the risk of returning to the hospital. This ensures residents receive essential care and attention during the crucial first 72 hours, facilitating a smoother and more effective recovery process.

Our service provides residents and their families with the assurance that they are being carefully monitored and supported, giving them peace of mind. We actively involve residents and their families, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Care Indeed provides 24/7 support, including holidays, to address both the physical and emotional needs of residents. This ensures that residents can always receive the care they need efficiently, even during the critical hours after hospital discharge.
