Reduce Hospital Readmissions with Transitional Care
No one wants to stay in the hospital longer than they need to, however, for seniors, nearly one in five Medicare patients released from the hospital is readmitted within the next 30 days.
At Visiting Angels® in Fayetteville, Georgia, our transitional care services provide seniors with the support they need to help reduce the risk of hospital readmissions.
We offer a wide range of post-discharge care services and resources designed to help the seniors in our community recover from injuries or illnesses at home where they are most comfortable.
Most Common Causes for Hospital Readmissions in Seniors
When our caregivers help discharged seniors during transitional care, we focus on the most common reasons they’d might have to go back into the hospital. As we all know, seniors don’t always follow their doctor’s instructions after they go home. Further, they might not know or understand how and when to take their medication correctly.
Being in the hospital for any amount of time will hinder a normal sleep schedule and eating habits, leaving our seniors feeling extra tired. This runs the risk of missing an important follow-up doctor appointment. Or worse, just struggling to manage their illness and ailments at home by themselves.
We tackle these causes head on, so recovering seniors stay healthy and heal up properly in the comfort of their own home.
Hospital Discharge Transition Plan
The transitional care that Visiting Angels in Fayetteville provides to seniors helps to prevent hospital readmissions in three different ways.
Our approach includes:
In-Hospital Care
Upon your request, we'll visit your loved one in the hospital or healthcare facility and provide them with our "Ready - Set - Go Home" discharge planning guide. This guide helps prompt our clients to ask questions and record important information about issues that may contribute to an unwanted readmission. This includes symptoms to report, dates and times of follow-up appointments, and medication and dietary needs following discharge.
At-Home Care
Our transitional care can help your loved one with non-medical care and monitoring, and yield helpful insights into the progress of your loved one's condition. Our caregivers can provide information on why a client might miss medication doses or does not follow up with medical appointments.
Care Through Our Fayetteville Office
Behind the scenes, our transitional care services can help our clients by arranging food and medication deliveries, as well as by providing medication and appointment reminders, and transportation to medical appointments.
We offer our transitional care to seniors who live South of Atlanta, including Brooks, Newnan, McDonough, Stockbridge, Fayetteville, Peachtree City, Senoia, Tyrone, Sharpsburg, Raymond, Hampton, and Woolsey.

Firsthand Experience with Transitional Care
David McIver started Visiting Angels in Fayetteville, Georgia, in 2005 after seeing firsthand how hard it was to care for his dad. When his father needed transitional care after a hospital stay, David learned the importance of a good discharge care plan with a home care agency like ours to reduce hospital readmission.
Now, he carefully chooses caregivers who are kind and truly care for the elderly. All caregivers at Visiting Angels Fayetteville go through rigorous background and reference checks. Through Visiting Angels’ unique program called Select Your Caregiver®, we match our clients with transitional caregivers who are able to meet their’ physical needs while complementing their personalities and interests to make the most of the recovery time together! This improves outcomes and helps reduce the chance of readmittance.
