Coming Home from the Hospital Kit · $29

Your parent is coming home from the hospital. Get the papers, meds and follow-ups in one place.

Discharge day hands you a stack of papers, new prescriptions and a list of appointments, usually all at once. This kit gives you five simple organizers to get it in order, plus a shared version your family can use, so someone else can pick up a task without calling you.

What's inside

Start Here: your first hour, first day and first week, so you know exactly what to fill in first.
1 · Homecoming Snapshot: who's coming home, from where, the reason as written on the papers, and every key contact with a short code.
2 · Discharge Papers Tracker: each document you were handed, where it's kept, and the logistics questions worth asking.
3 · Medication List, discharge papers vs. home: copy each medication from the papers, check the bottles at home, and note anything new, different or missing as a question for the prescriber or pharmacist.
4 · Follow-up Appointments & Rides: every appointment, who's driving, what to bring, and what was said.
5 · Family Handoff: who's doing what, where things are, and how the family shares updates.

See it filled in

Every organizer comes with a filled-in example for a fictional family, so you can copy the pattern instead of designing a system from scratch.

Example Homecoming Snapshot filled in for a fictional family: hospital, discharge date, reason for the stay as written on the papers, and coded contacts for the hospital unit, case manager, doctors, pharmacy, home health, equipment and insurance — Organizer 1, filled in for the example family.

Example medication list comparing the discharge papers with the bottles at home, with questions written down for the pharmacist where they differ — Organizer 3: where the papers and the bottles at home differ, the page records a question. It never says which is right.

Example family handoff page: tasks with owners and status, where things are kept, and how updates are shared — Organizer 5: so a sibling can take a task without calling you.

What it is, and what it isn't

This is an organizing kit. It records what your parent's hospital, doctors and pharmacist tell you, and it helps you bring good questions to them. It doesn't give medical advice, tell anyone what to take, or replace the discharge instructions. In an emergency, call 911.

30-day refund: if it isn't useful, email hello@nowwhatcare.com within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
