This guide ( in
English, in
Spanish) is intended to help family caregivers prepare for a
loved ones hospital discharge. Discharge planning is a process,
not a single event, which begins on admission to the hospital. This
guide will help you understand what to expect. You may want to print
this guide and share it with other family members or keep it as
a reference.
The authors of A Family’s Guide to Hospital Discharge Planning
are Gail Gibson Hunt, Executive Director for the National Alliance
for Caregiving and Carol Levine, Director of United Hospital Fund’s
Family and Health Care Project. This guide is made possible by funding
from the MetLife Foundation.
