EP 124 - The Hospital Discharge No One Warns You About (And How to Protect Your Parent)

Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast

Most families believe the hospital will guide them after discharge — but the reality is, seniors are often sent home without a clear plan, a safety assessment, or the support they truly need. And this is exactly when preventable falls, medication mistakes, and readmissions happen.
In this episode, Dale Corpus — Senior Transition Specialist, real estate expert, and member of the sandwich generation — breaks down the truth about hospital discharge and how families can avoid the “discharge cliff.”
You’ll learn:
• Why discharge is so dangerous for seniors
• What hospitals don’t tell families
• The essential questions to ask BEFORE leaving
• When in-home care isn’t enough
• How to build a safe, step-by-step post-discharge plan
If your loved one is considering senior living and you need support, Dale offers free consultations to help families navigate housing, care, and next-step planning.
