Being admitted to the hospital can be an overwhelming experience for elderly adults, and it can mark the beginning of their loss of independence. Unfortunately, this can often lead to a series of readmissions, which can be emotionally and physically exhausting for seniors. But, you are not alone in dealing with it. We’re here to help at Visiting Angels Catawba Valley.

Our in-home care service providers understand the challenges that seniors face, which is why we're here to support them with the care they need to recover at home. Our commitment is to help elderly adults with their daily needs and prevent hospital readmissions. Receive care from our experienced team across Burke, Catawba, Caldwell, and Alexander Counties.

It is a normal feeling to feel worried when a loved one is admitted to the hospital. Readmissions can be a major concern for older adults, particularly because many of these readmissions are preventable. We understand that a lack of assistance at home can result in physical exhaustion and limitations, putting seniors at an even greater risk of injury. Take care of your loved ones and keep them healthy with the support of our compassionate and reliable caregivers. Our service providers give the support your family needs from the comfort of your loved one's home.

How Aftercare Services Can Help

Hospitalization can be not only difficult for seniors, but their loved ones as well. To make the process smoother and help with post-discharge care, we developed the "Ready-Set-Go Home" transitional care program. Our team of care providers assists during the hospital stay, helping seniors and their families plan for the transition and establish expectations.

We also offer a discharge planning guide called "Ready-Set-Go Home" to help care recipients plan ahead and have constructive conversations with their doctors. Our top priority is the health and happiness of our seniors and their families, and we are dedicated to providing them with the best home care and assistance.

After the senior has been discharged from the hospital and is back home, our team will provide a caregiver to help with their daily routine and ensure that the doctor's instructions are followed during the recovery care process. Our in-home services may include assistance with personal care, meal preparation, running errands, providing emotional support, and reminding the seniors to take their medication. In addition, our office staff will work hard to manage the care process and provide any necessary support.
