Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Our transitional care program in Ocala, known as Ready-Set-Go Home, gives elderly adults the help they require to make a successful return home following hospitalization. If you have a loved one who will soon be discharged from the hospital, you may be worried about their risk of a readmission. Arranging home care from the professional senior care providers at Visiting Angels^® Ocala can give you peace of mind while ensuring your loved one has the comprehensive assistance they need during this critical recovery period.

What Causes Hospital Readmissions in Ocala?

Many older adults undergo a functional decline directly after returning home from the hospital. Although they may have previously been able to take care of themselves without an issue, they may find themselves without the energy, motivation, or mobility to do tasks that once came easily. When they lack a helping hand with basic activities like preparing healthy meals, remembering the timing of medications, or bathing, their condition may continue to deteriorate. Unfortunately, this often leads to them needing to return to the hospital.

The good news is this cycle is preventable. With dedicated support from a care provider, seniors can be sure to follow all of their doctors' instructions and perform any tasks that are essential to their well-being during the recovery process. 

How Visiting Angels Ocala Helps Through Transitional Care

Our transitional care program comprises so much more than a bit of assistance at home. In fact, we start providing care for the senior before they even leave the hospital. Under Ready-Set-Go Home, our services begin during hospitalization. We visit seniors in the hospital and discuss the upcoming transition with their family members. We also equip clients with our discharge planning guide, which they can use as a reference during important conversations with physicians about the discharge process.

When the senior is discharged from the hospital, one of our care providers will be available to provide them with personalized support throughout the coming weeks. Additionally, we'll have staff members working at our office to facilitate the logistics of deliveries, medication reminders, and transportation to follow-up appointments with the senior's doctors.

We encourage you to get in touch with our senior care agency if your loved one will require transitional care in Ocala, Beverly Hills, Citrus Hills, Citrus Springs, Floral City, Hernando, Lecanto, Homosassa Springs, Inverness, Silver Springs, Wildwood, or a nearby town.
