Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

When it comes to making the transition from hospital to home, many elderly adults can benefit from having personalized support delivered by professionals. That's why our Ready-Set-Go Home transitional care program offers so many benefits for seniors in the Columbus area. Through high-quality transitional care, we help reduce the risk that one of our care recipients will be readmitted to the hospital.

At Visiting Angels^® Columbus GA, we know seniors would rather be in the comfort of home than in the hospital. Our goal is to help them stay home and enjoy aging in place for longer. We proudly offer comprehensive transitional care services that promote the best outcomes for care recipients and focus on paving the way to a successful recovery.

What Causes Readmissions?

Unfortunately, hospital readmissions occur quite frequently for older patients. The need to be rehospitalized can stem from a number of factors, all depending on the unique case of the senior and their individual circumstances. However, one factor often stands out in these cases: a lack of high-quality support at home in the weeks following hospitalization.

It's common for elderly adults to experience somewhat of a functional decline after they've been in the hospital. When their sleep schedules are disrupted, they are on new medications, or they are dealing with lingering symptoms, they may be unable to care for themselves in the way they previously did. This can result in difficulties following through on their doctors' instructions and ultimately a further decline in their health. 

How Our Transitional Care Program Helps Seniors in Columbus

To help seniors cope with the challenges of transitioning from hospital to home, we have developed our Ready-Set-Go Home program around three prongs of care. This enables us to cover a wide range of needs both before the senior is discharged and after they return to the normal rhythm of daily life at home.

These three care prongs include:

1. Pre-discharge support in the hospital. 
2. Personalized in-home care visits.
3. Help from the staff at our local office in Columbus.

If your loved one is currently in the hospital and you are thinking about how you can help smooth the way for a comfortable return home, we encourage you to learn more about Ready-Set-Go Home. Just contact us to get started with a free consultation.
