The critical transition window
The first days home from hospital are the highest-risk period
Hospital readmission within 30 days of discharge is one of the most common and preventable outcomes in senior care. The primary causes - falls, medication errors, inadequate nutrition, and isolated recovery - are all directly addressed by structured in-home support in the immediate post-discharge period.
Aviora's hospital-to-home support is designed specifically around this window. We start quickly, follow discharge instructions carefully, monitor actively, and communicate clearly with families so that minor issues are caught before they become serious complications.
Getting started
Plan before discharge - start the day they arrive home
1. Contact Before Discharge
Reach out as soon as a discharge date is confirmed. We gather details, review care needs, and assign a caregiver before the individual arrives home.
2. Care Plan Built
We review discharge instructions, dietary needs, mobility status, and medication schedule to build a practical first-week care plan.
3. Support Begins Day One
A consistent caregiver is ready at home. Family members receive updates. The plan adjusts as recovery progresses.
No referral required. Can start within 24-48 hours. Serving all of Ontario.
