Caregiver support near Penang General Hospital

Penang General Hospital sits on Jalan Residensi in George Town and serves families across Penang island, with people also travelling in from Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam and the mainland side of the state. Older parts of George Town have narrow lanes, shophouse stairs and little parking near the door, which changes how someone gets from the car into the house.

Before discharge, get the transfer method, medication schedule and warning signs in writing, and decide which room the person will sleep in if the usual stairs are now difficult. Caregiver Malaysia is not affiliated with Penang General Hospital; the name is used here only as geographic and discharge-planning context.
