Call From the Hospital — Care Starts Day of Discharge
When a loved one is discharged from Capital Health Medical Center Hopewell in Hopewell, NJ, the first 24–72 hours at home are the most dangerous. According to the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, nearly 1 in 5 seniors is readmitted within 30 days of hospital discharge — and most of those readmissions are preventable. Medication errors, falls, missed follow-ups, and dehydration are the top four causes. 24 Hour Home Care NJ coordinates directly with Capital Health Medical Center Hopewell‘s discharge team to eliminate each risk, starting the day your loved one leaves the hospital.
Our registered nurse reviews every discharge instruction, sets up medications, conducts a home safety assessment, and designs a personalized recovery plan before your loved one walks through the door. Our certified caregivers are trained to the specific protocols required by Capital Health Medical Center Hopewell’s discharge team. Whether your loved one needs 24-hour care, live-in care, or overnight monitoring, we have a plan ready. See our complete post-hospital discharge checklist.
