When caring for an older family member, the most important thing is always giving them the best care. It's essential after surgery or any other stay in the hospital. Being in the hospital is stressful and costs a lot of money, so no one wants to return once you get out. Seniors are especially likely to go back to jail within 30 days of getting out, which is terrible. With Visiting Angels Little Rock's help, your loved one can stay safe and sound in their home without worrying about going back to the hospital. Through our Ready-Set-Go home program, we help adults in the Little Rock area as they move from the hospital to their homes.

Readmission is uncommon for seniors, but it can often be avoided with the proper transitional care. Joint problems, like forgetting to take medicines or giving the wrong amount, can be prevented if there is someone with them to help them keep track. Meal and sleep routines are often thrown off during a hospital stay. This can make it hard for seniors to eat and sleep after they leave the hospital, which can send them back to the hospital. These things are considered when Visiting Angels Little Rock plans its transitional care.

To avoid returning to the hospital, it's essential to ensure that injuries aren't made worse by extra stress and that the doctor's treatment instructions are strictly followed. If you choose Ready-Set-Go Home for your loved one, our caregivers will work directly with their medical care team to create a transitional care plan that fills the gaps between hospital care and home care. Assisting with daily tasks and reminding them to take their medications, our nurses can give your loved one the temporary care they need to avoid returning to the hospital.

Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care in Little Rock, Sherwood, AR, and Nearby Cities

At Visiting Angels of Little Rock, we know why adults in Little Rock and throughout Metro Little Rock must return to the hospital and how our in-home assistance services can help. Most hospital readmissions happen because the patient did not follow the doctor's directions after being sent home. Many different things could cause this trouble.

Some of the most common reasons why adults have to go back to the hospital are:

• Tiredness and exhaustion from not getting enough sleep in the hospital
• Not enough help for reduced movement and a higher risk of falling
• Having trouble following a doctor's recommended meal plan
• Having trouble taking care of a sickness or accident at home
• They are not following the directions for taking prescription drugs.
• Having trouble going to therapy or follow-up visits

It is thought that over 2.6 million seniors in the US are readmitted to the hospital in the first month after being sent home. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service say this adds to costs reaching $26 million annually.

No one wants this to happen to a loved one, and Visiting Angels of Little Rock's Ready-Set-Go Home program can help. Our in-home care services have benefited many adults in Little Rock, Sherwood, Roland, Jacksonville, and other Arkansas cities and towns.

The Ready-Set-Go Home program from Visiting Angels of Little Rock can help your loved one stay out of the hospital after release. Our three-pronged approach to offering in-home assistance services for people coming home from the hospital has helped many local seniors improve.

Allow me to explain how the Ready-Set-Go Home scheme works:

• Once your loved one gets home, our nurses can help with things like getting dressed, bathing, walking, avoiding falls, making meals, reminding them to take their medications, driving them to meetings, and more.
• We can help set up delivery of meals, medicines, medical supplies, and more at our office in Little Rock.
