Transitional Care Near You
The first 30 days after discharge from the hospital have the highest risk of readmission. Due mainly to trouble following discharge instructions, as many as 1 in 5 seniors will be readmitted during the first month after discharge. Hospital readmissions are both costly and disheartening for seniors and their loved ones. Some seniors are less diligent once they return home, which highlights the importance of providing after hospital care at home to reduce the likelihood of repeat hospital stays. Visiting Angels® Sarasota, Florida can provide referrals for transitional elder care to families in Bradenton, Long Boat Key, Siesta Key, and the surrounding communities. Transitional care can help your loved one continue on the path to recovery.
