Call From the Hospital — Care Starts Day of Discharge
The hospital-to-home transition from Morristown Medical Center is the single most critical moment in your parent’s recovery — and it’s where most things go wrong. Medication errors. Falls. Missed follow-ups. Wound complications. The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reports that nearly 1 in 5 seniors is readmitted within 30 days — and most of those readmissions are preventable with proper home support from the moment of discharge.
24 HOUR Home Care NJ coordinates directly with Morristown Medical Center’s discharge planning team to ensure a certified caregiver is in 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 surgeon’s orders precisely.
