How Transitional Care in El Cajon Reduces Hospital Re-Admissions

Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Ready-Set-Go Home is a transitional care program designed to residents in the El Cajon area following a hospital stay. Roughly 20% of patients discharged from the hospital are readmitted within 30-days. At Visiting Angels^® El Cajon, we aim to reduce these high rates of readmission with a three-prong approach to care. With our care, we offer services that help you coordinate your or your loved one’s transition home and assist them during the crucial few weeks following a hospital stay.

What Causes Re-Admissions for Hospital Discharge Patients?

One of the main reasons released patients might be readmitted to the hospital is because they are unable to follow a doctor’s orders during the first few weeks following a hospital visit. Seniors for instance with mobility issues may be unable to attend follow-up appointments, others with Alzheimer's or dementia may have a hard time remembering to take their medication, and seniors who are exhausted following a hospital visit may have difficulties following a specific diet or managing a disease or illness. All these factors can lead to hospital readmission. Most times hospitals insist that patients ready to be discharged must have professional home care scheduled before they are released from the hospital for their safety when they return home.
