Patients who are cared for at home after their discharge from the hospital tend to share more information during home visits that is not typically seen in the hospital setting. Research has shown that home visit soon after discharge can reduce readmissions, complications, and visits to the emergency department.
As patients feel more relaxed and comfortable at home, they get a sense of control, in contrast to a hospital environment. This translates to a greater sense of self-efficacy and engagement in their own care, and in time, some patients learn to better care for themselves. This factor is cherished by family members and caregivers.
Every encounter for our Sunway Home Healthcare personnel is a story. The patient-centered care we provide is evident in the stories that our patients share with us.
