The free checklist helps you ask the right questions. The kit helps your family run the next 14 days.
After discharge, the hard part often starts at home. Medications need to be sorted, follow-up appointments scheduled, equipment confirmed, symptoms tracked, and family responsibilities assigned.
The kit gives you printable pages for each of those jobs so the family can work from one packet instead of scattered notes, texts, and discharge papers.
