Convalescence Care

Having an operation or being hospitalised can be traumatic particularly for the older person whose recovery may be somewhat slower. The pressure on acute hospitals to discharge patients as quickly as possible may leave the patient feeling apprehensive and vulnerable. Supervised 24 hour nursing and support care immediately after discharge from hospital provides an important transitional phase that can greatly assist in restoring the patient’s confidence towards full recovery and integration back into the community as quickly as possible. Silver Stream Healthcare has a successful track record in providing this care option in each of its six nursing homes.
