Coming Home: 5 Things to Do During the First 48 Hours After a Hospital Stay

Getting the call that a parent is being discharged from a hospital in Atlanta is a relief, but it’s also the start of a busy 48 hours. If you’re preparing for them to come home to Marietta or Decatur, here is how to make the transition safe:

​Clear the Path: Remove rugs and trip hazards in the living room and bedroom.

​Organize Medications: Make sure you have the updated list from the hospital and a clear plan for the next dose.

​Stock the Fridge: Keep easy-to-digest, healthy meals ready so you aren’t running errands.

​Confirm Follow-ups: Double-check their doctor appointments in Buckhead or nearby.

​Get Backup: Whether it’s family or professional help, ensure someone is there to monitor their mobility.
