Supporting Families When Times Get Tough

While it was a huge relief for Mr Bala to return home after his hospitalisation, his family quickly realised the necessity of post-surgery care as he recuperated at home.

Returning Home From Hospital

Returning home from a hospital stay can be a huge relief but the transition from the hospital to your home can be difficult and overwhelming. Having a caregiver at home can help to smoothen the transition process and support recovery to avoid readmission.

Supporting Primary Caregivers

After Mr Bala was discharged from the hospital early this year, he found himself having less energy at home. Having left the hospital from post-acute care, his wife took up the role of the primary caregiver at home. But soon she realised that she needed an extra pair of hands to help care for her husband.

It was certainly tough for me to care for my husband fully after his hospital discharge. As we are both ageing, some activities are too strenuous for my body. For example, I can’t carry him to the shower by myself or assist him with light exercises during the day. I was very disheartened about all this.

Realising his mother’s difficulties, Mr & Mrs Bala’s son, Mr N. suggested getting additional support through home care services from to help with their daily living.

Before engaging with , Mr Bala was not eating or drinking as much as he used to before his hospital admission. Even after Mrs Bala had used a blender to soften his food, Mr Bala would still refuse. However, since taking visits with penjaga profesional, Mr Bala has been more consistent with his food intake during the day.

When he isn’t hungry, Mr Bala looks forward to the light exercises he does with our penjaga profesional such as a short walk around the house or even simple massages that help to improve the blood circulation in his legs.

Needing a caregiver’s assistance for grooming and personal hygiene care can make an elderly person feel low, but poor hygiene in the elderly can make them lose their sense of dignity and self-worth.

With the help of penjaga profesional, all aspects of Mr Bala’s hygiene care was taken care of during the home visits. Our penjaga were able to help with bathing, toileting and incontinence care whilst making sure to encourage independence when possible. This allows Mr Bala to stay in control when he has the strength and helps him to maintain his dignity as he ages.
