For adults, seniors, and elderly people in Vermont, returning home after a short or long-term hospitalization can be a complicated and tough transition. It can be difficult to understand medical instructions and make sure they are carried out. The patient may need support that family and friends can’t provide, from secure transportation home to help with bathing and dressing, toileting, mobility, meal preparation, medication management, and housecleaning.
