A primary objective of Visiting Angels of Spartanburg is to ensure that seniors can maintain their independence in their homes for an extended period if they want. Many elderly people who have medical issues and are unable to return home independently rely on transitional care services. After a lengthy hospital stay, our transitional home care services allow Spartanburg area elders to return to the comfort and familiarity of their own homes.

Twenty percent or more of Medicare-eligible elderly patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days following home release. Our transitional care services provide particular home health care to lower the high readmission rates among Spartanburg area elders. In addition to our in-office services, we also provide care in hospitals to ease the return of elderly patients to their homes during the first week after a lengthy hospital stay.

How Transitional Care Helps Seniors in Greer, Taylors, and Nearby Cities Reduce Hospital Readmissions

Without adequate home health care, it is still difficult for seniors to stay home, even if they can physically do so. Following a set of discharge instructions is usually necessary for a thorough recovery. However, elders may need assistance following discharge instructions due to mobility challenges, memory loss, or other concerns. Readmission to the hospital may result from these causes.

How Transitional Care Helps Spartanburg Area Seniors

Offering individualized home health care, Visiting Angels of Spartanburg's transitional care services benefit elders in Spartanburg, Taylors, Duncan, Greer, and the neighboring communities. The three pillars of our care model are as follows:

• In-Hospital Care. In hospital visits, we meet with patients and their loved ones to discuss discharge and readmission planning and provide emotional support. Clients may use our discharge planning guide as a resource to ask their doctors pertinent questions about readmission and get advice on how to decrease the likelihood of readmission.
• Care at Home. Our caregivers help clients after they go home by taking care of personal duties, mobility issues, housekeeping, and monitoring. We inform clients' loved ones immediately if we see any changes in our patients' physical or mental health, and we explain why some patients have trouble following discharge instructions.
• Care from Our Office. Drug reminders, transportation to appointments, and food and drug delivery services are all part of the transitional care we provide out of our Spartanburg, SC office.
