Following a prolonged illness or surgery, the little tasks that we normally take for granted can become major obstacles. It’s common to require some level of assistance during the transition from hospital to home while recuperating. Some may even require special medical attention and/or assistance. Once you’ve been released, you want to go home and resume living your life on your terms, in the comfort of a familiar, comfortable environment. Unfortunately, many believe that the only option available is to move into a nursing home.
