When Family and Friends Fail, Anderson Healthcare Domiciliary Care

A Gentleman’s Struggle and What Happens When You Have No Help

John had just been discharged from the hospital after a major surgery. He was grateful to finally be home, but he was far from well. His body was weak, and he was unable to walk. He needed help with even the simplest tasks like bathing, using the bathroom, and getting meals.  Before his discharge, John had called his friend Susan, asking her if she could stay with him for a couple of days while he recovered. She had promised to be there for him.

But when John arrived home from the hospital, Susan was nowhere to be found. She did not answer his calls, and soon he realised he was completely alone.  John tried to get out of bed to get some water, but his legs wouldn’t support him. He realised how dangerous his situation was. What if he had fallen?

What if something worse had happened? The Possible Consequences of Being Left Alone Without Help Are you or a loved one facing a similar situation?

The consequences of being left alone after a hospital discharge or while recovering from surgery can be serious. Here is what could happen if you don’t have the support you need:

• Increased Risk of Falls: Without assistance to move around, you may be at a high risk of falling. In John’s case, trying to get out of bed without help could have resulted in a serious injury. 
• Delays in Recovery: When you are on your own, tasks like eating, taking medication, or simply staying hydrated can become overwhelming. This can slow your recovery and put unnecessary strain on your body. 
• Mental and Emotional Strain: Being isolated, especially when you are unwell, can cause feelings of loneliness and anxiety. This can affect your emotional well-being and overall health.
