Hospital discharge · Hobbs, NM

Just left the hospital with your mom or dad in Hobbs?

Just left the hospital with your mom or dad in Hobbs, New Mexico? Take a breath. Free, step-by-step help from Kendall Warren, BCPA·CSA — and a free discharge checklist tool.

If it's urgent

If something feels wrong right now, call 911.

For everything else — the worries that aren't an emergency but won't wait — this free tool helps you decide who to call. Two quiet minutes, a few plain questions, and you'll know whether tonight calls for the doctor's after-hours line, the pharmacist, or simply rest.

Do these three things first.

Not everything has to happen today. These three calm, practical steps are enough for right now.

  1. Read the discharge papers together

    Before you leave the parking lot, sit for a minute and read the paperwork side by side. Circle the follow-up appointments, the phone numbers, and anything that isn't clear — those circles become your question list.

  2. Fill the prescriptions today

    Drop off any new prescriptions on the way home and note when the pharmacy closes. If a medication isn't ready or costs more than expected, ask the pharmacy to note it — that goes on the question list too.

  3. Build your checklist in the free Guide

    Kendall's free discharge tool turns the next few days into one simple checklist you can share with family — so nothing rests on memory alone.

If going home isn't the safe answer

Kendall helps you choose the right path — free. When a community setting is the better fit, she personally guides placements and finds the right community — assisted living, memory care, independent living, or a nursing home — serving families across West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, including right here in Hobbs, at no cost to you.

Planning a move closer to family in West Texas? Kendall can help with that too.
