  • Office and home visits
  • Bring someone with you
  • Written plan

When to consult

When should you ask for hospital follow-up?

During the admission, and above all in the transition home: much of the recovery is decided there.

When to consult

  • Your relative is in hospital and the information arrives in fragments.
  • They became confused or agitated during the stay.
  • Discharge is close and there is no clear plan for home.
  • They have been readmitted in recent months.

Before your visit

  • Have the admission summary and the medications from before the stay.
  • Write down your questions: we answer all of them.
  • Identify who will coordinate care at home.

Important points

  • Hospital delirium is prevented with concrete measures: glasses, hearing aids, mobilization, sleep.
  • Every day in bed without moving costs strength that must be regained later.
  • Discharge without medication reconciliation is the leading cause of avoidable relapse.

Ask on WhatsApp
Do you go to any hospital?

Send a WhatsApp message with the hospital and reason for admission; I will confirm availability and conditions.

Why are readmissions so frequent?

Rushed discharges, unreconciled medications and no early follow-up. All three are preventable.
