Seniors are far more likely to be readmitted to the hospital within the first 30 days after being discharged. The 30 days following a hospital discharge are crucial for seniors in preventing hospital readmissions. One study claims that 20 percent of seniors will have to return to the hospital within the first month of being released.

Benefits of Visiting Angels Home Care Assistance

It might be obvious that the simplest way to prevent hospital readmissions is to follow a doctor’s orders. However, this may not be as easy for seniors who have mobility problems, suffer from dementia, or have other chronic health issues. Seniors often face challenges that make the period after a hospital stay even more difficult. During this time, your loved one will need support, and in-home assistance for seniors from Visiting Angels McKinney can help!

We have built our Ready-Set-Go Home program around a 3-prong approach to transitional care, which includes:

The Hospital

The Ready-Set-Go Home program can begin while your loved one is still in the hospital. Our home care aides will provide emotional support to your loved one and keep track of the doctor’s recommendations. They can also pick up prescriptions and help arrange for transportation to make sure your loved one gets home safely after being discharged.

The Home

Our first priority is to keep your loved one safe and healthy in their home. Our caregivers provide a variety of options for in-home assistance for seniors after returning home, including bathing, dressing, toileting, medication reminders, meal planning, meal preparation, mild housework, transportation, grocery shopping, and more!

Our Office

Behind the scenes is our team of professional care coordinators who can help your loved one’s caregiver, your loved one, and your family. We can provide assistance with appointments and scheduling caregiver visits.
