The Silent Crisis in Senior Care: Hospital Delirium & The Breakdown of Safe Discharges

What happens when a hospital stay creates a new crisis for an older adult—and the family is left navigating what comes next?

Join the National Placement & Referral Alliance (NPRA) of DFW for our November Chapter Meeting as we tackle a critical issue affecting older adults, healthcare professionals, and families across North Texas.

Hospital delirium, complex medical needs, premature or poorly coordinated discharges, and gaps in communication can create significant challenges for patients transitioning to the next level of care.

MEET OUR FEATURED SPEAKERS

Dr. Trinh | Post-Acute Care Physician

Dr. Trinh specializes in medical management for patients recovering in rehabilitation facilities. Her expertise includes preventing complications, supporting recovery, coordinating interdisciplinary care, and facilitating safe transitions back into the community.

Reema Kawar | Director of Business Development, Palliative & Hospice Care, Pristine Healthcare Solutions

With more than 20 years of healthcare experience, Reema brings a powerful perspective on patient advocacy, family education, and the importance of understanding palliative and hospice care options. Her passion is ensuring patients and families have the information, resources, and support to make informed decisions during difficult transitions.

THE CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE:

Recognizing hospital delirium and understanding its impact on recovery

Identifying gaps in discharge planning and care coordination

Understanding how palliative and hospice services can support patients and families

Navigating complex transitions from hospitals to rehabilitation, senior living, and home

Strengthening collaboration between healthcare providers and senior placement professionals

A discharge is not the end of care. It is the beginning of the next critical transition.

Whether you're a senior placement professional, hospital case manager, social worker, discharge planner, senior living leader, or healthcare provider, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
