Bringing a loved one home from the hospital can feel reassuring, but it can also come with new questions and responsibilities. As recovery continues at home, family members and caregivers often play an important role in helping their loved one stay safe, comfortable, active, and engaged.
Printable Family and Caregiver Guide:
The resources on this page were created to provide practical guidance and support during that transition. The printable booklet below offers simple, evidence-based strategies that can help promote recovery, reduce the risk of confusion or delirium, and support overall well-being after a hospitalization. You will find suggestions for maintaining orientation, encouraging movement and mental activity, supporting good nutrition and sleep, and creating a safe and familiar environment at home.
Printable Exercise Sheets:
In addition we have included printable exercise instruction sheets that provide visual guidance for mobility and range-of-motion activities discussed throughout the booklet. These materials can help patients and caregivers perform exercises safely and confidently as part of the recovery process. Click here to download the printable exercise instructions.
You will also find links to additional Griffin Health resources, educational materials, and support services that may be helpful as your loved one continues the healing journey. Every recovery is different, and these resources are intended to complement the guidance provided by your healthcare team.
