Home Instead Senior Care stepped in and were able to spend a few hours with this lady, taking her from hospital to her previous place of residence to pick up some personal and treasured items that she could take with her to her new home. Our CAREGiver spent some time with the client settling her into her new home, putting away her clothes and making her a cup of tea. We made sure she was comfortable before we left which was a huge comfort to the family.
For some family carers, it is difficult to take time off work to pick up mum/dad from the hospital. Or perhaps, you are a casual employee and it is an expensive exercise for you to take the time off? Perhaps your loved one doesn't want to hassle you? Home Instead's assistance with transport and discharge from hospital might even be essential if you are not local to the Wollongong area.
