Recovering and Rebuilding: Navigating Life After a Hospital Stay
A hospital stay can be a traumatic experience for anyone, but it can be particularly challenging for the elderly. It often takes time to recover from a hospital stay and readjust to being back at home.
​
Having worked in the NHS for 16 years, I understand this situation all too well. Elderly patients can find themselves trapped in a cycle of frequent hospital visits. The fear of movement at home and the worry of another accident can lead to increased vulnerability and joint stiffness.
At The Well Balanced Centre, we strive to change this narrative. Our focus is on enhancing mobility and reintegrating individuals into the community after a fall.
Setting Achievable Goals
Setting small goals for yourself is one of the most effective approaches. After a distressing period, expecting an immediate return to normalcy is unrealistic. Instead, start with small goals to gradually adapt to being back home. For example, aiming to climb the stairs using a handrail is a practical and achievable goal.
As you regain strength and confidence, set larger goals such as walking, with assistance, to the end of the garden and back. By setting small goals, you can easily track your progress and build confidence along the way.
