If the hospital is saying, “Your parent is ready to be discharged,” but you’re thinking, Ready for what? — you’re not alone.

Discharge decisions often happen quickly. Families are handed paperwork, given a list of facilities, and expected to make major care decisions in a matter of hours or days.

You do not have to navigate this alone.
