Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

When seniors are in the hospital, they often eagerly await their return home. However, it is important for them and their family members to understand they may need more support than usual in the days and weeks following their arrival. Arranging for help from a transitional care provider can give your loved one in Tupelo a better chance of making a recovery and reduce the likelihood of complications leading to a hospital readmission.

At Visiting Angels^® Northeast Mississippi, we've seen time and again how much of a difference transitional care can make for seniors before and after a hospital stay. By paving the way to a smooth recovery, we help elderly adults in Tupelo and neighboring areas remain where they most want to be: right at home. 

What Causes Hospital Readmissions in Tupelo?

The need for rehospitalization often arises when elderly adults struggle to maintain their own well-being at home after a hospital stay. For example, they could find basic activities like cooking, bathing, and taking medications on time to be a challenge. As a result, they can experience a significant decline in their health and the necessity of a hospital readmission.

We're seeking to change the circumstances that lead to rehospitalization by assisting elderly adults in the crucial time after their hospital discharge. Our caregivers are compassionate, understanding, and capable. Most importantly, they are ready to deliver personalized care that enables seniors to follow through with their doctors' instructions and maintain their well-being throughout the recovery process.

How Our Transitional Care Program Helps

We refer to our transitional care program as Ready-Set-Go Home because it prepares care recipients and their family members for discharge day. It also helps make life at home in Tupelo safer and more comfortable in the days and weeks immediately following the discharge. This three-prong program includes a number of services specifically curated for seniors undergoing this transition.

Here is how the Ready-Set-Go Home program is arranged:

1. Care starts in the hospital. We make care available before the discharge to give seniors the best possible chance of a smooth transition.
2. Care is personalized at home. Our caregivers assist seniors according to their unique needs and scheduling preferences in the comfort of their homes.
3. Support is offered from our local office. Throughout the journey of transitional care, our office staff will keep an eye on care recipients' recovery and coordinate logistics.
