A Journey To Recovery: How Comfort Keepers Secaucus Comfort Care Agency Can Help

Comfort Keepers warmly provides comfort care to select areas of Bergen, Hudson and Essex Counties

We ease your loved one’s transition from the hospital or rehabilitation facility to home, which can lead to a better, more comfortable recovery.

Coming home from the hospital is hard on everyone -- the patient, his/her family and the effect it has on day-to-day living. In fact, those initial days upon returning home from Hudson Regional Hospital, Concentra, Caligor Medical or any Secaucus area hospital are crucial. Research proves that not having the care you need can result in a longer healing or possible readmittance to the hospital. A comfort care agency can help

A loved one's care after a hospital stay is often taken on by family members who may not be prepared for the physical and emotional demands of such care. So, Comfort Keepers provides services to make the move back to the house easier. You can reach us at (201) 771-1908.

The Scene: Dad is being discharged from the hospital. Now what do I do?

Your loved one was in the hospital recovering from hip surgery; rehab followed for a few weeks. Finally, your Mom is being discharged. Medicare will provide some care to help her with showering and physical therapy for up to six weeks. You are asking yourself, "What about all of the other hours in the day?"

You do not live with Mom. You commute and have a family. To ensure a healthy discharge, extra help is generally needed. Meals to make, medication reminders, help to the bathroom, doctor check-ups and someone for your Mom to talk with. These are just a few of the things swirling through your mind. 

Often our clients call us breathless because the rehab has just told them that Mom is being discharged in 3 days. When this happens we immediately schedule a senior care assessment and begin the placement process so that in 3 days an aide is at your Mom’s home ready to help her and provide you with the knowledge that your Mom’s transition home will go well. It is natural to feel unprepared. But working with us allows you to give your Mom the emotional support she needs and you to deal with your life. We help your Mom transition home by providing live-in, overnight or day time hourly care based upon what you and your family need.
