For seniors in Alexander, Benton, Bryant, Mabelvale, and other communities in Arkansas who are about to be released from the hospital and might require assistance with the discharge planning process as well as their recovery at home, Visiting Angels of Benton has developed a program called Ready-Set-Go Home. This transitional senior care program aims to reduce patients' chances of being readmitted to the hospital, allowing them to recover in familiar surroundings and resume their lives as independently as possible with the help of an in-home care provider.

Our in-home care providers have the experience to help seniors in a wide range of circumstances, giving them the most incredible opportunity possible to age in place without dealing with the stress of hospital readmission.

Why Are Hospital Readmissions Common Among Seniors in Benton, AR, and the Surrounding Areas Without the Help of In-Home Care Providers?

Older people are statistically more likely to need readmission to a healthcare facility. About 20% of Medicare patients are readmitted within four weeks after their hospital discharge. Helping an elderly loved one avoid issues that lead to readmissions to the hospital is crucial because these episodes might interrupt their routine and expose them to new dangers.

Staying in a hospital, for example, may be quite taxing, particularly for your older loved one. They could find it difficult to sleep and experience a great deal of stress due to their hospital stay. Even the most independent older adults may find it challenging to resume normal daily activities after a hospital stay, including cooking, transportation to and from medical visits, and medication adherence. Therefore, ignoring these duties could lead to further health problems and a faster decline in their condition.
