An in-home care provider from Visiting Angels can help older adults in Longmont, Boulder, Lousville and throughout Boulder County, CO safely transition from a hospital stay to care at home and prevent hospital readmissions

Seniors face many challenges when they’re in the hospital. Some challenges will affect how quickly they recover when they return home, and often, if they will be readmitted. One of every five seniors will return to the hospital within 30 days after leaving. At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, we found this healthcare crisis shocking, and we set out to change it with our transitional care program called Ready-Set-Go Home.

At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, our Ready-Set-Go Home program is designed to help minimize or eliminate the triggers that often cause hospital readmissions. The Ready-Set-Go Home program provides care that helps seniors more successfully transition from the hospital back to their home. Our in-home care providers can provide the transitional care many seniors need to successfully recuperate after being discharged from the hospital.

How the Ready-Set-Go Home Program Helps Seniors in Longmont and Throughout Boulder County Safely Transition Home

If you have a loved one who is in the hospital or is planning a hospital admittance, you can trust Visiting Angels of Boulder County to provide outstanding transitional care. Families in Longmont, Lafayette, Frederick, Erie, Louisville, Superior, Niwot and Boulder rely upon our in-home care providers to help keep their loved ones healthy and happy.

The Ready-Set-Go Home program includes:

• A comprehensive discharge plan. Seniors are often discharged from the hospital with little to no post-hospital care instructions. We can partner with your loved one’s medical team to create a detailed transitional care plan using our Ready-Set-Go Home Discharge Planning Guide. The Guide, when completed, will include comprehensive information on how to best help your loved one recuperate at home.
• A compassionate senior caregiver. Seniors often struggle with daily chores when trying to recover at home alone. At Visiting Angels Boulder County, our in-home care providers can lend a helping hand with essential personal care services such as: light housekeeping, personal hygiene, preparing healthy meals or special diets, arranging delivery of prescriptions, medical supplies and special equipment, monitoring fluids and driving your loved one to appointments.
• Recuperating stress-free at home. Hospital environments often create stress, and seniors can become fatigued from the lack of sleep associated with the regular interruptions of hospital care. A transitional care professional from our Longmont office can help your loved one to rest and regain their strength.
• Medication monitoring. Your loved one's caregiver can help them adjust to new prescriptions, arrange delivery, and monitor all prescriptions to ensure that they are taken as directed
