Transitional Care in Anderson, Pendleton, Muncie, IN, and Nearby Cities

In the thirty days after being released from the hospital, seniors have a higher chance of having to go back. If they are returned to the hospital during this time, they usually have a much smaller chance of fully healing. That's why lowering the number of hospital readmissions for this age group is so important.

Many readmissions can be avoided by doing precisely what the doctors say. However, older people often need help doing what their doctors tell them to do without help. When you are recovering from a severe illness or accident, even easy jobs can be challenging. Most of the time, this causes seniors to skip essential steps in their healing and do dangerous things that can have significant effects.

Transitional care ensures that these people in the Anderson area can get the help they need to carefully follow their doctors' orders after they are released from the hospital. This kind of care not only lowers the risk of having to go back to the hospital but also helps people get better faster.

How Our Caregivers at Visiting Angels East Central Can Help

Here are the steps our caregivers take to assist seniors as they make the transition from hospital to home:

• In-hospital care. We start working with seniors and their families before they ever leave the hospital. You can rely on our caregivers to guide you through the discharge process and support you with making plans for your loved one's return home.
• In-home care. Our caregivers will promote their safety and recovery once your loved one is discharged by offering compassionate in-home assistance. In addition to helping with basic activities of daily living, we also monitor seniors' well-being to spot significant changes or behaviors that could negatively influence their recovery.
• Care from our office. Our office staff works behind the scenes to assist our caregivers with their duties. We utilize special tools to identify high-risk clients throughout their recovery and ensure they get the support they need. We can even help with arranging reminders and coordinating deliveries.
