How Our Caregivers Help Richmond-Area Seniors Return Home from the Hospital
Most hospital readmissions in the Richmond area could be avoided by simply following doctor’s orders. However, this is easier said than done for a lot of seniors. In order to follow all the guidelines and recommendations provided by their medical teams, seniors need a strong support system during recovery at home.
This is precisely what our Ready-Set-Go Home program at Visiting Angels Richmond is all about. We offer home care services in accordance with the orders given to your loved one by their doctor and in conjunction with the care provided by your family. Our services are fully personalized and client-centered, so your loved one will get all the help they need for a full or partial recovery, depending on their condition.
Here’s how our transitional care services can help your loved one:
At The Hospital
Our Ready-Set-Go program begins during your loved one’s hospital stay. One of our senior caregivers can visit your loved one in the hospital, providing your family with the support you need during this time. They can guide your family through the discharge process as well. We developed a transitional care guide that can also be of use to you as your loved one is about to be discharged. The guide contains information about hospital discharges, questions you may want to ask doctors and nurses and advice on reducing the risk of hospital readmission.
At Your Loved One’s Home
Once your loved one returns home, one of our home care providers can assist them with activities of daily living to ensure they have everything they need for a safe and comfortable recovery. They are skilled and experienced enough to spot any changes in your loved one’s health, so they can inform your family the moment they notice an improvement or deterioration in your parent’s health. And if you and other family members are acting as primary caregivers for your loved one, our services can help you get respite and manage your responsibilities with ease.
