Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

When it comes to minimizing the risk of rehospitalizations, transitional care is an essential tool. At Visiting Angels^® Gilroy, we know many elderly adults are at risk of returning to the hospital soon after their discharge. In fact, almost one in five older individuals on Medicare are rehospitalized within one month of being discharged. Our Ready-Set-Go Home program gives seniors the support they need to avoid an unnecessary return to the hospital and ensure they can stay in the comfort of their own home throughout the recovery process.

What Causes Hospital Readmissions in Gilroy?

While every senior has a unique set of factors and circumstances that define their situation, many share the same reason for returning to the hospital. In a large proportion of cases, elderly adults lack assistance with maintaining their well-being after a hospital discharge, which ultimately leads to complications and requires a hospital readmission.

If you want to make certain your loved one has proper support during their recovery, transitional care can help. Our professional care providers at Visiting Angels Gilroy offer a helping hand with essential activities like bathing, grooming, running errands, and cooking. Additionally, they provide important reminders to take medication and offer support and transportation to help seniors attend follow-up appointments with their physicians.

How Visiting Angels Gilroy Helps During a Hospital Discharge

Our Ready-Set-Go Home program begins in the context of the hospital. We'll send one of our care coordinators to visit with you and your loved one prior to their discharge. As part of this meeting, we'll hand you our Ready-Set-Go Home discharge planning guide, which is packed with information you can rely on during this uncertain time. Once you've spoken with your loved one's physicians about their advice for the upcoming transition, we'll create a home care plan that includes all the services your loved one is projected to need during recovery.

Our convenient approach to care works around seniors' preferences and routines to help them remain as comfortable and content as possible. We also give concerned family members peace of mind by acting as an extra pair of reliable eyes and ears, monitoring the senior's well-being throughout their recovery.
