While the hospital is a place for healing, it is also a disruption to the flow of everyday life. Bouncing back from a hospital stay may not be a problem for a younger individual, but it can be extremely difficult for seniors. Unfortunately, when a senior returns home, there is usually a drop-off in support. After all, they've gone from having a team of medical professionals just a buzzer call away to having only family or friends to rely on for support. So, how do you bridge the gap? Visiting Angels of Kansas City brings top-quality holistic transitional care into your relative's home to help support them after a hospitalization.

Ready-Set-Go Home Transitional Care from Visiting Angels in Kansas City, KS, and The Nearby Areas

The risk of readmission is exceptionally high for seniors, so having strong support and resources available to them at home is crucial to preventing them from being readmitted. Without it, seniors are particularly prone to making preventable mistakes with their medications or failing to follow discharge instructions fully. They may even neglect their care by not resting or drinking enough fluids. Without transitional care, these big and small risks can force seniors to leave their beloved homes and return to the hospital. 

Supporting Kansas City Seniors with Transitional Care

For every challenge your relative might face during their homecoming, there is a step that can be taken through home care to help them overcome it. At Visiting Angels of Kansas City, our companion caregivers can be there from the very beginning to offer support to your loved one in the hospital and walk them through the discharge process with our Ready-Set-Go Home care guide.

Back at home, we can be there to help with all tasks, great and small, that help keep them on the road to recovery.

Some of the tasks transitional care commonly helps with include:

• Washing and dressing assistance

• Preparing healthy meals that meet doctors' recommendations
• Help with shopping, running errands, and picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy
