At Visiting Angels Sacramento, we specialize in helping seniors remain at home, and transitional care is one way we accomplish this.
Common Causes of Readmission
When a loved one is admitted to the hospital, the goal is often to help them heal, so they can return to their home as quickly as possible. To be discharged and then readmitted within the first month is disheartening. Transitional care from Visiting Angels Sacramento can help address issues that may lead to additional hospital visits.
Several common factors contribute to hospital readmission. These include:
- Exhaustion due to poor sleep in the hospital
- Failure to follow discharge instructions
- Missing follow-up appointments
- Not taking medication as directed
- Trouble managing an illness at home
Ready, Set, Go Home care, or transitional care, from Visiting Angels Sacramento can provide aid to address these issues and help your loved one remain at home, where they most want to be.
How Our Transitional Care Works
There are several ways our transitional care from Visiting Angels Sacramento can help your loved one. Our three-pronged approach can help reduce your loved one's risk of readmission by:
- Visiting your loved one at the hospital and providing them with a copy of our discharge planning guide, as well as meeting with the hospital discharge planner to ensure a smooth transition.
- Monitoring your loved one at home to keep an eye out for medication issues, missed appointments, and more. We report any concerns to your loved one's case manager so issues can be addressed before they become a problem.
- At the Visiting Angels Sacramento office, our transitional care coordinators can arrange for medication delivery, as well as medical equipment and food delivery. We can provide medication and appointment reminders to help keep your loved one on track.
