Home Rehabilitation Nursing Care Report for a Multimorbid Elderly Patient Under a "Tertiary Hospital-Community-Home" Linkage Model
This article summarizes the home rehabilitation nursing experience of an 87-year-old elderly patient with multiple comorbidities under a tertiary hospital-community-home linkage model. The patient presented with 16 coexisting conditions, accompanied by dysphagia, cognitive impairment, and severe care dependency. Following discharge, the case was referred to transitional care nurses who developed an individualized rehabilitation nursing plan with weekly supervision, while community nurses conducted on-site rehabilitation training targeting swallowing, breathing, nutrition, physical activity, and cognition at least three times per week, along with the establishment of a rapid response channel. During the one-month home rehabilitation period, the patient was not readmitted due to aspiration, oxygen saturation was maintained at ≥93%, body weight increased from 79 kg to 80 kg, and activity tolerance extended to 60 minutes. By ensuring seamless handover, implementing bidirectional quality control, and establishing a rapid response mechanism, this model addresses the common challenge of "loss of follow-up care immediately after discharge" faced by elderly multimorbid patients and provides a replicable practical pathway for home rehabilitation care in similar patients.
