Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Seniors don't have to go it alone on their journey to recovery after a hospital stay. A professional transitional care provider can be there with them every step of the way. From preparing for the discharge in Brunswick to following through on doctors' directives at home, the caregivers at Visiting Angels® Southeast Georgia are ready to deliver well-rounded support for seniors.

Our transitional care program includes the various forms of assistance elderly adults may need when faced with a hospital discharge. This program is aptly named Ready-Set-Go Home because it paves the way for seniors to have a more positive experience of returning home. Most importantly, it helps these vulnerable individuals avoid complications that could keep them from regaining their independence. 

What Causes Readmissions in Brunswick?

Readmissions to the hospital are more common among elderly adults than younger individuals, with Medicare reporting that 1 in 5 beneficiaries return to the hospital within a month of their discharge. Typically, it's a challenge for older individuals to maintain their well-being on their own after returning home from the hospital. Exhaustion from disrupted sleep routines, mobility limitations, and cognitive issues can all combine to make it harder for them to complete basic tasks.

In many cases, these struggles lead them to skip follow-up appointments, forget to take medications, and generally neglect their condition. Complications can arise as a result, contributing to the cycle of hospital readmission and discharge.

How Our Transitional Care Program Can Help

We understand the specific challenges seniors face when a discharge is on the horizon, and we've formulated the Ready-Set-Go Home program to help conquer these challenges. Take a look at the three stages of care covered by this program:

1. Support with discharge planning. Families often feel overwhelmed when a loved one is in the hospital and can benefit from guidance with the planning process.
2. Personalized in-home care. We will deliver personalized support through in-home care visits to help seniors with their day-to-day activities.
3. Monitoring and support from our office. The staff at Visiting Angels Southeast Georgia keep track of seniors' recovery and help smooth out the logistics for reminders, deliveries, and care visits.
