How to make your hospital stay and recovery a little less stressful
Maybe you’re finally taking care of that bad knee that’s been bothering you for years. Maybe you were injured in a car accident or a fall. Maybe you were blindsided with the diagnosis of an illness and need to begin treatment right away.
Expected or unexpected, serious or routine, a hospital visit is no fun. Neither is the ensuing rehab or recovery at home. Not for you, and not for your loved ones. Those everyday chores that you’ve always taken for granted are all of a sudden a major source of stress. You feel helpless and dread the prospect of leaning on friends and family for help.

What you do with this checklist will relieve some stress or just make the situation worse.
You can hold on to your checklist, try to make sure everything gets done, and then start the process again from the beginning – doing this over and over until you’re completely recovered and self-sufficient.
Or, you can give your checklist to us.
When we take your checklist, we take the hours spent taking care of and agonizing over these errands. We remove the burden from your loved ones. We relieve you of the stress caused by trying to coordinate these things from a bed. And we help you focus on your recovery – physically, mentally and emotionally.
When you or a loved one needs help when you go to the hospital, give us your “to-do” list so you can relax and recover.
