Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Transitional care can help prepare your loved one in Snoqualmie Valley, Maple Valley, or surrounding communities for their recovery at home after they've endured a long hospital stay. Because so many seniors encounter complications following their hospital discharge, assisting them during the post-discharge window can help prevent them from being readmitted. We offer dedicated assistance through a transitional care program called Ready-Set-Go Home.

What Causes Readmissions?

At Visiting Angels^® Snoqualmie Valley / Maple Valley, we know many elderly adults go through a functional decline after being hospitalized. This can impair their independence and hamper their quality of life. It can also keep them from being able to complete basic tasks on their own and may cause them to skip important steps in the recovery process. As a result, almost 20% of elderly adults on Medicare who are discharged from the hospital return within a month.

A cycle of hospital discharges and readmission can severely disrupt seniors' routines and becomes exhausting for both seniors and their families. Having a helping hand is often crucial for them to get through the post-discharge period without a hospital readmission, promoting their ability to successfully recover and get back to living life on their own terms.
