Continuation of living at home（Avoiding hospitalization or entering a nursing home, etc..)

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are various reasons for wanting to continue living at home, such as "I want to live in a familiar home" and "I am worried about the cost of hospitalization and facility admission".

 

 

 

 

 

In fact, hospitalization / admission involves a lot of work in addition to the cost, and there are various other concerns in the situation of corona virus, so many people would like to continue living at home.

 

 

 

 

 

Except for major illnesses and traffic accidents, common hospitalization and facility admission patterns are as follows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

① Major injury requiring surgery → Hospitalization

 

 

 

② Elderly family members often fall or are about to fall at home → Worried about serious injuries (insufficient long-term care at home) → Enter a facility for the elderly

 

 

 

③ Physical ability deteriorates during hospitalization or admission to facilities for the elderly, and it is judged that it is impossible to return to home → Admission to facilities for the elderly (continuation of admission)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

③ is a case where rehabilitation of hospitals or facilities could not improve your elder family, so it is excluded because there is nothing for the family to do, but ① and ② can be prevented if physical ability can be improved and maintained even at home. What you get.

 

 

 

 Let's take a look at the flow related to "falling" that is common to ① and ②.↓
