Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Making a successful transition home from the hospital is crucial for seniors who need to make a full recovery after a long hospital stay. With transitional care in Red Bank delivered by professional caregivers, you can have confidence your loved one is minimizing their risk of a hospital readmission. At Visiting Angels^® Red Bank, we go the extra mile for elderly adults who are scheduled for a hospital discharge through our Ready-Set-Go Home transitional care program. This program provides seniors with customizable support that helps them implement their doctors' orders, get back into the groove of their daily routine at home, and make a successful recovery.

What Causes Hospital Readmissions?

With nearly one-fifth of seniors on Medicare returning to the hospital within only thirty days of their discharge, it's clear this age group needs extra support during the recovery process. Often, elderly adults struggle to complete basic tasks during recovery, whether this be bathing, remembering medication schedules, cooking healthy meals, or simply getting around the house.

Unfortunately, an inability to complete these and other essential tasks can lead to a further decline in the senior's well-being. As a result, they may soon find themselves back at the hospital instead of on their way to recovery.

How Transitional Care From Visiting Angels Red Bank Helps

Our multi-step Ready-Set-Go Home program has been carefully crafted to give seniors the forms of support they need when they need them most during the recovery process. For example, we begin providing care while the senior is still in the hospital or in rehab. This care comprises support with preparing for the upcoming transition. We offer clients and their family members access to our Ready-Set-Go Home discharge planning guide to help them as they speak with doctors and coordinate care for the recovery process.

Upon the senior's arrival home, our caregivers offer a helping hand with any tasks the senior may find challenging to complete on their own. Caregivers can also attend doctors' appointments with seniors, arrange transportation, stop by the grocery store or pharmacy, prepare meals, assist with tidying up, and so much more.

We encourage you to learn more about our transitional care program if your loved one is scheduled for a hospital discharge.
