At BrightStar Care of The Monterey Peninsula, we believe that planning ahead is one of the greatest gifts families can give themselves and their loved ones. On August 27, 2025, our team had the privilege of presenting at The Carmel Foundation, a cornerstone in the Carmel community that supports seniors with resources, social programs, and educational events.
Why Planning Matters
Life can be unpredictable, especially when it comes to health and aging. A sudden hospitalization, an unexpected fall, or even the natural progression of age can bring urgent questions about next steps. Planning for peace of mind means preparing for these moments before they happen — ensuring families know what options are available and how to access support when it matters most.
Our Presentation: From Hospital to Home
During our session, we shared insights on the critical transition from hospital to home. This is a time when seniors are often at their most vulnerable, and thoughtful planning can make the difference between a smooth recovery and recurring challenges. Topics included:
- Creating a Care Plan: How families can work with healthcare providers and care agencies to build a safe, sustainable support system.
- Preventing Readmissions: The role of in-home care, medication management, and safety checks in reducing the risk of returning to the hospital.
- Peace of Mind for Families: Knowing that your loved one has the right care in place can ease stress and allow families to focus on quality time together.
Thank You to The Carmel Foundation
We extend our heartfelt thanks to The Carmel Foundation for inviting us to share our expertise with their members and the public.
