Understanding Hospital Readmissions Among Seniors in Raleigh, NC and Surrounding Areas & How In-Home Supportive Services Can Help Them Avoid Readmission
At Visiting Angels of Raleigh, we have experienced insight as to why hospital readmissions occur for seniors in Raleigh and throughout Wake County and how our in-home supportive services can help.
What Causes Hospital Readmissions Among Seniors?
Most hospital readmissions are caused by an inability to follow the physician's discharge instructions. There are many factors which may contribute to this problem.
Some of the common reasons seniors end up being readmitted to the hospital include:
- Exhaustion and fatigue from interrupted sleep schedules in the hospital
- Difficulty following a physician prescribed meal plan
- Struggling to manage an illness or injury at home
- Lack of support for limited mobility and increased fall risk
- Failure to take prescribed medications as directed
- Difficulty getting to therapies or follow-up appointments
In the United States, it is estimated that within the first month after discharge, over 2.6 million seniors are readmitted to the hospital. This contributes to expenses totaling $26 million per year according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service.

Here's how the Ready-Set-Go Home program works:
- While in the hospital, our care coordinators can visit your loved one and provide them with our free discharge planning guide. This guide can help you keep track of medications, follow-up visits, symptoms to watch for, and any dietary restrictions.
- Once home, our caregivers can assist your loved one with in-home supportive care services such as dressing, bathing, walking, fall prevention, preparing meals, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and other tasks.
- At our Raleigh office, we can help coordinate the delivery of meals, medications, medical equipment, and more.

We can provide transitional care for a minimum of 4 consecutive hours or even on a 24-hour basis.
