Common Questions About Post-Rehab Home Care

Do I Really Need Home Care After Leaving West Village Rehabilitation?

Most patients benefit significantly from home care support. Studies show that patients receiving home care after rehabilitation have:

• 40% fewer hospital readmissions
• 60% lower fall risk in the first month home
• Faster return to independence
• Better medication compliance
• Reduced family caregiver stress

Even patients who feel "ready to go home alone" often underestimate fatigue, mobility limitations, and safety risks during early recovery.

How Quickly Can 7 Day Home Care Start After Discharge?

In most cases, same day or within 24 hours. For planned discharges with 2-3 days notice, we typically start the same day the patient arrives home.

For last-minute or Friday afternoon discharges, we maintain weekend coverage and can often accommodate same-day requests, though caregiver selection may be more limited.

Do Your Caregivers Follow the Therapy Plan From the Rehab Facility?

Yes, exactly. Our Home Health Aides receive detailed instructions from the rehabilitation team including:

• Physical therapy exercises to monitor as appropriate
• Mobility restrictions (weight-bearing status, use of assistive devices)
• Transfer techniques taught during rehab
• Occupational therapy strategies for daily activities
• Safety precautions specific to the patient's condition
• We can communiate with your therapist

This ensures seamless continuity of care and helps patients maintain the progress achieved during their rehab stay.

What If My Loved One's Needs Change After Starting Care?

We adjust immediately. Care plans are flexible and can be modified within 24-48 hours for:

• Increased or decreased hours
• Different shift times
• Caregiver changes

Most patients need maximum support for the first 1-3 weeks, then gradually reduce hours as strength and independence return.

Client Success Stories: Real Families, Real Results

Margaret's Story: Hip Replacement Recovery in West Village

"My mother was terrified to come home after hip surgery at West Village Rehabilitation. 7 Day Home Care sent Maria, who helped her walk safely, shower without fear, and regain confidence. Within 5 weeks, Mom went from needing 12-hour care to just 6 hours daily for errands and meals. She's back to her independent self."
— Susan, Daughter & Caregiver, West Village

Robert's Story: Stroke Recovery in Greenwich Village

"After my husband's stroke, I didn't know how we'd manage at home. The caregiver from 7 Day followed the Plan of Care, helped with his exercises, and caught early signs of depression that we addressed with his doctor. The RN checked in and adjusted the care plan as Robert improved."
— Patricia, Wife & Caregiver, Greenwich Village

Eleanor's Story: Cardiac Rehabilitation in Chelsea

"I was discharged from West Village Rehabilitation on a Wednesday afternoon. 7 Day Home Care had an aide at my apartment - waiting my arrival to make my transition home as easy and safe as possible. Shortly thereafter, the 7 Day Home Care nurse visited to assess me and create a care plan. She understood all my issues, knew what to watch for, and made me feel safe. Having that support the first few weeks made all the difference."
— Eleanor, Patient, Chelsea
