After Your Visit
Assistance at Home
Services are available for patients who need assistance upon discharge. The Social Work/Care Coordination Department can help you select the services that you need and arrange for care while you are still at the hospital. Every patient in need of post-hospital services is given a written copy of his or her discharge plan upon leaving the hospital. These may include:
- Home Care
- Meals on Wheels
- Lifeline
- Medical equipment
- Rehabilitation or Physical Therapy
Please keep in mind that it is very important to have family members or friends available to provide transportation home when your physician discharges you.
Questionnaire for Patients
Shortly after discharge, you may receive a questionnaire inquiring about your treatment and care at Emerson Hospital. If you do not receive a questionnaire and would like to comment on your care, please write to: Patient Care Assessment, Emerson Hospital, 133 ORNAC, Concord, MA 01742. We appreciate your comments and suggestions to help us evaluate and improve the quality of our services.
