-Decreased sleep

Post discharge the person can usually benefit from strategies that support rest in a familiar setting.  The person will want food they are accustomed to eating.  The person will benefit from access to liquids for hydration.  The person will want to progressively participate in ambulation and motion within the residence.  The person will want the time and space to process the mental emotional aspects of the recent hospitalization. 

PATH ALONG staff have been trained to understand how the process of being hospitalized can challenge the integrity of a persons body, mind and spirit.  The unconscious, unspoken energetic shifts utilized to compensate for a medical inpatient stay.  A person capitalizes on available strengths to endure needed treatment being delivered in an evolving care setting.
