Good morning everyone...

I have just been discharged from the hospital, (Wednesday), and there is NO help/support to the individual whatsoever!

I am completely alone here, and finding it difficult to do even the most simple tasks, unable to visit the shop/drive etc.

My main concern, is that I need to arrange my medications, I have no idea of how to proceed

Should anyone know of anyone who may be available, then PLEASE PM asap. Thank you.

There is no aftercare as part of the SpanishHealth Service as it is expected that the family will look after the patient. This has always been the case here.

I sympathise that you are on your own, but I am afraid that you may have to pay for carers to come in to help, or go for respite care into a Residencia for a short period. 

The hospital I imagine has given you discharge papers with all the details, you should be able to collect any medications from any Farmacia on production of your SIP card. If they are medications or dressings which require nursing assistance, your local Centro de Salud can arrange this.

Hi Brian, 

As the other poster has explained, you have to organise your own after care. Although the social services will organise something for the absolute worst cases but expected to pay up at a later date.

However.......

Here is a link to a care company that might help. I've used their services some years back when I was in the same position as you are. They charge about €15 per hour/visit and will help you with everything you need.

Bonjour Carrie...I know that it has been almost a full year since you responded to my request.

One year on...I am feeling SO much better in myself , I have completed all of my meds.

My point of contacting you once more, is that should anything go wrong in the near, or far future, my circumstances will not have changed, and it concerns me of what may happen to my personal care?

Should you still be in business, then please advise, and maybe we can arrange an initial meeting/ chat, to ascertain what may be necessary?

Thank you for your time...Bryan S.
