Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Ready-Set-Go Home from Visiting Angels^® Meridian is a transitional care program for seniors in the Boise, ID area. Under this program, seniors receive in-home care and support when they return home after a hospital discharge. Transitional care gives seniors the assistance they need during their recovery and can help reduce the risk of a hospital readmission during recovery.

Visiting Angels Meridian offers transitional care services to seniors throughout Boise and its surrounding communities. Our services are available to seniors in Ada and Canyon Counties, including towns and communities like Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell.

Benefits to Non-Medical Transitional Care

After a hospital discharge, most seniors need significant help in the first several weeks of their recovery. During this time, seniors can lack strength and/or coordination, find themselves in significant pain or discomfort, and are likely to be at high risk for a serious complication. In fact, Medicare data indicates that just under 1 in 5 seniors will be re-admitted to the hospital within 30 days of a hospital discharge.

Our transitional care services help Boise seniors avoid hospital readmissions. We provide a range of non-medical assistance services to help seniors during their recovery period. These include:

• Help planning and preparing healthy meals.
• Assistance with mobility and transferring.
• Reminders about medication and important appointments.
• Help with daily tasks and activities, like bathing, grooming, and dressing.
• Companionship and conversation.
• Monitoring for complications and risk of re-hospitalization.
