Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Ensure your loved one is set up to experience the best outcomes after they return home from their hospital stay. Arranging transitional care from the professional caregiving team at Visiting Angels^® Griffin can help promote your loved one's well-being and reduce their risk of being readmitted to the hospital. With help from our caregivers, your loved one can get on their way to making a full recovery.

We've built our transitional care program, Ready-Set-Go Home, around the unique risks seniors face after being discharged from the hospital. This program includes support and guidance before the discharge takes place, as well as in-home support personalized to each care recipient's specific concerns. This level of care gives elderly adults the assistance they require during this particularly vulnerable period in their lives and can help them remain optimistic as they recover at home.

What Causes Readmissions Among Seniors?

Readmissions occur for a number of reasons, and statistics from Medicare show they are particularly prevalent among elderly adults. In fact, close to one in five Medicare beneficiaries is readmitted to the hospital within a single month of returning home. To prevent your loved one from experiencing a rehospitalization so soon after their discharge, it's important to make certain they have all the help they need at home.

Without high-quality support in the home environment, elderly adults who have just been discharged from the hospital may find it tough to complete their daily routines. Furthermore, they can struggle to stick to the instructions provided by their doctors. As a result, they often encounter further health problems that require them to undergo yet another hospital stay.

How Our Transitional Care Program Helps Seniors in Griffin

Ready-Set-Go Home offers the support your loved one needs to stay out of the hospital. We start by assisting with the discharge planning process and guide both seniors and their families in the hospital setting. When the discharge has been successfully completed, we arrange to have a caregiver by the senior's side as they get back into the groove of normal life at home. Our caregivers are ready to assist with personal care, mobility, light chores, running errands, and other essential tasks.
