Going Home After Englewood Health? We’re Ready.
Call (908) 912-6342 — Home Care After Englewood Health — Same-Day Start
Call From the Hospital — Care Starts Day of Discharge
Discharge from Englewood Health in Englewood is not the end of the medical journey — it is the most vulnerable moment of recovery. The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reports that nearly 1 in 5 seniors is readmitted within 30 days of discharge — and the majority of those readmissions are preventable. Medication errors, falls in an unmodified home, missed follow-up appointments, and inadequate wound monitoring cause most of them.
24 Hour Home Care NJ coordinates directly with Englewood Health’s discharge planning team so a certified caregiver is at your parent’s home the day they leave the hospital. Our RN reviews every discharge instruction, sets up medications, conducts a home safety assessment, and designs a recovery plan that follows the medical team’s orders precisely.

Every post-discharge care plan from 24 Hour Home Care NJ is tailored to what Englewood Health prescribed. Our registered nurse translates hospital discharge instructions into daily caregiver tasks — ensuring nothing is missed.

- Follow-up transportation and escort: Our caregiver drives your parent to every follow-up, accompanies them inside, communicates symptoms to the physician, and relays notes to our RN and your family.
- Nutritional support: Post-discharge patients need protein for tissue healing, proper hydration, and specific nutrients. Our aides prepare meals meeting Englewood Health’s dietary recommendations.
- Emotional support: Post-discharge depression is common and dangerous. Our companion caregivers provide daily engagement and encouragement that counters isolation.

- Home safety preparation: While your parent is still at the hospital, our team assesses the home for fall hazards, bathroom safety, and equipment needs.
