Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care Services
The journey home from a hospital stay can lift seniors’ spirits as they look forward to moving about in their own homes and sleeping in their own beds. However, many seniors and their families may have concerns about care after a hospital visit, including adherence to discharge instructions and medications. Even seniors who are comfortably independent may struggle to recover and could benefit from a supportive and compassionate helping hand.
Visiting Angels caregivers welcome the opportunity to assist seniors as they recover from hospital stays. Our caring and compassionate home care services give seniors a reprieve as they go about their daily lives and provide family members and loved ones with much-needed peace of mind. We’re proud to offer our care services as a way to protect seniors’ independence as they age in place while providing the compassion, support, and dedication they deserve.
What is Transitional Care?
Visiting Angels of Rockwall’s transitional care services assist seniors in bridging the gap between time spent at a medical facility and returning home for recovery, whether due to emergency medical care, a planned surgery, or any other reason for a hospital stay. Research shows that nearly one in five seniors are readmitted to the hospital within a month of discharge. Our care services can help reduce those numbers further to help seniors remain safely in place as they age.
In practice, transitional care ensures seniors follow discharge orders, from medications and exercises to diet restrictions. Visiting Angels of Rockwall caregivers often facilitate communication between seniors, physicians, and family members to ensure a continuum of care and obtain immediate medical attention if complications arise.
Visiting Angels care services can help you fully enjoy the benefits of aging in place while recovering in a comfortable and familiar environment.

Improved Adherence to Discharge Instructions
