Planning Ahead
Our team works with each of our residents to ensure that – when the time comes – they have the tools and capabilities to continue their recovery at home. Discharge from Medford to home requires the successful transfer of information from clinicians to the patient and family, in order to reduce adverse events and prevent readmissions. With the guidance of the resident and resident’s family, we will follow guidelines that ensure continued success at home:
- Conduct a home evaluation prior to discharge
- Review medications
- Highlight warning signs and problems
- Explain test results
- Make follow up appointments
- Coordinate with community providers and physicians
- Provide patient and family education prior to discharge, including Medication Administration management and safety awareness
