Post-Hospital Discharge Care in Bergen County, NJ
The first 30 days after a Bergen County hospital discharge are the most consequential month of an entire recovery.
Most re-admissions happen in those 30 days. Falls. Aspiration pneumonia. Medication confusion. Each one is preventable with the right caregiver presence — but only if the presence arrives on day one, not day three.
Coordinated arrival
Bonjour caregivers arrive before the medical transport. We coordinate with discharge planners at Englewood Health, Holy Name Medical Center, Hackensack University Medical Center, Valley Hospital to know the discharge time, the medication list, the mobility restrictions, the swallow precautions if applicable. The caregiver greets your parent at the front door — not in a confused house an hour later.
What the first 30 days require
Two-shift 24-hour care for the first 14 days is most common — pain medication, fall risk, and overnight bathroom trips are at their peak. After day 14, most plans step down to live-in. By day 60 to 90, hourly companion is enough.
We adjust the structure as the recovery progresses. The plan is not fixed.
Coordination with the visiting RN and PT/OT
Medicare typically covers a few weeks of skilled visits — visiting nurse, physical therapy, occupational therapy. The RN and the PT/OT visit on a schedule. The Bonjour caregiver is in the home every day, all day. We coordinate without you having to manage it.
