Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

If your parent, grandparent, spouse, or close family friend is in the hospital and scheduled to be discharged, you may be particularly concerned about preventing a repeat hospitalization. Most seniors hope to stay at home long-term, and frequent hospitalizations can limit their independence and severely disrupt their routines. The transitional care services from Visiting Angels^® Chula Vista have been specifically designed to help seniors transition from hospital to home successfully so they can remain where they most want to be. 

What Causes Readmissions in Chula Vista?

Readmissions among elderly adults are statistically quite common. Medicare has shared reports showing that only around 80% of seniors are able to avoid rehospitalization within the first month after being discharged. This means that nearly one-fifth return to the hospital in 30 or fewer days due to complications.

Complications can arise for a number of reasons. However, among elderly adults, these reasons often originate in a lack of high-quality assistance with recovery at home. When seniors live alone or do not have a dedicated caregiver by their side, they may find they are unable to complete the tasks that once came naturally to them before their hospital stay. This can cause them to skip essential steps in their recovery and disregard their doctors' instructions, which can ultimately result in a decline in their condition that necessitates a rehospitalization.
