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.

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