It is important to begin planning for your return home before your surgical procedure. Find out from family and friends how they will be able to assist you. Arrange for transportation home from the Hospital. After your surgery, a team composed of a nurse case manager and social worker will continue to work with you, your surgeon and other members of the health care team to assist in planning for your discharge.
Goals to achieve prior to returning home include:
The rehabilitation staff will help you plan for any equipment you may need at home.
The Occupational Therapy Department has compiled the checklist below to help you prepare your home for your recovery. We encourage you to review this list with family and friends and make any needed changes BEFORE your surgery. These recommendations can help you safely manage at home during your recovery period.
Feel free to contact the Occupational Therapy Department at 617-243-6172 if you have questions about these recommendations. More Info on Leaving the Hospital
