MF Family Home Care provides hospital to home care on Cape Cod for the period right after a discharge — the fortnight when people either recover or end up back in the hospital.
Call before the discharge instead. If you know your parent is coming home on Thursday, we can be there Thursday — with the house already checked for the obvious hazards, and a schedule that covers the mornings and evenings when nobody else is around.
— where most post-discharge falls happen.
Weight-bearing limits, elevation, ice, wound-dressing schedules kept on time by someone reading the sheet.
Discharges frequently change every prescription at once, and confusion here is the single most common cause of readmission.
Appetite disappears after a hospital stay, right when the body needs the most.
— with the folder, and with someone who can repeat afterward what was said.
Fever, swelling, confusion, a wound that looks wrong. Not a diagnosis — the noticing, and the phone call to the family and the physician.
One call, a free visit at home, and a written plan you can change. Most families begin smaller than they expect.
Tell us what is happening and what a normal day looks like now compared with six months ago.
We come to the house and look at the practical things — the stairs, the bathroom, the kitchen, the hours when nobody is around.
Most families begin smaller than they expect and adjust within the first month. No long-term contract is required to begin.
The questions families ask us most, answered plainly.
