Transitional Care for Seniors in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties
Hospital readmissions occur in 20 percent of admitted elderly patients in the United States. While most cases of hospital readmissions are preventable by following recommendations from healthcare providers and receiving assistance from professional senior caregivers, it is very possible for seniors who are still very weak to do their daily tasks to have to be readmitted for further care. Once they are readmitted to the hospital, they will require longer recovery and they are also at risk of getting an infection from the hospital. Thus, it is important that you ensure that your loved one is protected from anything that may lead to their hospital readmission. One solution is to consider professional transitional care, but finding the right provider can be difficult.

The Benefits of In-Home Senior Care in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties After Being Discharged from the Hospital
Aside from giving your loved one your undivided attention, you can also hire caregivers from Visiting Angels Central Coast to help provide your loved one with the support that they deserve. Here at Visiting Angels Central Coast, our caregivers are skilled and trained to implement the Ready-Set-Go Home Program. This transitional care program ensures that your loved one will receive support and care from the hospital to their home so that their risk for hospital readmission is reduced.
Our senior care services begin right in the hospital prior to their discharge. Since the core of our Ready-Set-Go Home program is to ensure a safe transition, they have to ensure that the patients follow the directives of the doctors even during their hospital stay. Our caregivers can also provide support and educate the entire family on the proper care of their sick loved ones.
How Can the Ready-Set-Go Home Program from Visiting Angels Central Coast Help My Loved One?
Once your loved one has already settled at home, our caregivers will provide quality in-home senior care. For instance, if your loved one doesn't have enough strength to get out of bed, our caregivers can provide assistance in feeding, bathing and other tasks. Our caregivers also serve as your eyes and ears in case there are changes in their vitals and cognition. In case these changes occur, they can alert you and the attending doctor of your loved one's well-being. They can also provide other support such as coordinate with a doctor’s appointment and accompany your loved one in case you are not available.
Securing your loved one after their hospital discharge is very important so that they can have a speedy recovery. Let our caregivers help you and your loved ones with a smooth transition from the hospital. This is the best gift that you can give them – the gift of recovery and healing.
