Hospital stays, rehabilitation stays, and short-term facility placements can leave clients needing additional non-medical support beyond the care provided by hospital or facility staff. This service is intended for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or a hospital admission who may benefit from bedside companionship, personal care assistance, comfort support, and help with everyday needs while away from home. In Oakland County and throughout the service area, caregivers can provide an additional presence for clients when family members cannot be there.
How It Works
In-patient hospital and rehabilitation support may include:
Hospital bedside sitting, personal care, grooming, and companionship
Support and encouragement during rehabilitation stays
Non-medical safety supervision and comfort care
Assistance with meals and hydration reminders
Personal comfort support during a hospital or rehabilitation stay
Sitting with the client, reading, conversation, and encouragement
Organizing personal belongings
Running small errands and picking up personal items
Communicating client needs or observed changes to family members as requested
Supporting belongings and personal items during a facility stay
Transition support when returning home after discharge
What to Expect
The caregiver provides non-medical bedside or facility support while the client continues receiving medical, nursing, and therapy services from the appropriate facility professionals. Support may involve personal assistance, companionship, meals, comfort, supervision, errands, and communication with family members as requested. When the client is preparing to leave the hospital or rehabilitation setting, support may also extend to practical assistance with the transition back home.
