What happens when my aging parent is discharged from the hospital? What Families Need to Know.

Описание: Your aging parent falls and breaks a hip.
Or your aging parent gets pneumonia or has a stroke.
Or something else serious happens and you have to take your elderly loved one to the hospital.
Once they get the care they need and it's time to be discharged -- what's next? Where do they go? What care do they get and who provides it?

With hospital stays for patients becoming increasingly shorter, families often find themselves overwhelmed and under-informed. John Brown of Oasis Senior Advisors Austin & Central Texas talks with Kim and Mike Barnes of Parenting Aging Parents and explains some of the options that you need to be ready for, including skilled nursing facilities, rehab or home care and the importance or knowing the insurance information for your aging parents (Medicare or Medicaid).

He sheds light on the importance of open communication with hospital staff, the critical role of discharge planners, and the part family members play in the process. Learn how to advocate effectively for your loved ones, ensure they receive the appropriate level of care and be prepared for unexpected situations.
