Visiting Angels provides professional home care assistance to help seniors in Naples, Marco Island and surrounding areas in Collier County, FL stay safe and healthy after leaving the hospital

If you have a loved one who has recently been discharged from the hospital, it is important that they have the care they need to make a full recovery and prevent them from making a return visit. Statistics show that of all the seniors on Medicare, nearly 20 percent of all patients who have been discharged from the hospital are readmitted within 30 days. Older adults are less likely to make a full recovery if they are sent back to the hospital during this 30-day period. This means that it is crucial that seniors have the support they need during this time to avoid another hospital stay.

At Visiting Angels Naples, we provide professional home care assistance to seniors in Collier County, FL who are trying to recover after a stay at the hospital through our Ready-Set-Go Home program. This service provides seniors with compassionate and professional caregivers as well as personal home assistance during the transition from hospital, to home. With our Ready-Set-Go Home program, we will be here to help your loved one every step of the way.

What Does the Ready-Set-Go Home Program Include?

Many times, readmission can be evaded by simply following the doctors’ orders. However, this can be difficult for many seniors who have recently suffered from an illness or serious injury. Outside assistance is often essential to helping seniors follow doctors’ orders.

At Visiting Angels Naples, we have designed our Ready-Set-Go Home program to provide maximum support to seniors, reduce the risk of readmission and increase the chances of a full recovery. All of our home care assistance services are tailored to fit the needs of your loved one and built around recommendations from your loved one’s doctor.

Our Three Prong Strategy

• Hospital.

Our Ready-Set-Go Home program begins at the hospital. During this time, our caregivers can make regular visits to your loved one and provide support to family and friends. When your loved one is ready to be discharged, we can help you by offering important discharge information, and provide you with a list of questions you may want to ask your loved one’s doctors or nurses.

• Home.

At home, our exceptional caregivers will provide your loved one with the home care assistance they need to recover. Our caregivers also work to make sure your loved one is comfortable and safe throughout the whole process. As the “eyes and ears” in your loved one’s home, we can also help detect any changes in your loved one’s health. In addition, we make sure your loved one does not skip doctor’s appointments or taking their medications. Family caregivers can also benefit from our services, as we help them avoid caregiver burnout.
