Unfortunately, readmission to the hospital—shortly after discharge—remains an unfortunate consequence for many seniors. Effective discharge planning and ongoing support at home are essential to reducing the likelihood of hospital readmission.

As your aging loved one attempts to transition to their home from the hospital, you might need a helping hand to manage discharge instructions and keep up with regular senior care duties.

Visiting Angels can help!

Supportive In-Home Care After Hospitalization

Visiting Angels created a “Ready, Set, Go Home” transitional program to provide non-medical home care support after your senior leaves the hospital or a rehabilitation facility.

Our professional caregivers can help reduce your loved one’s risk of readmission due to preventable mishaps at home—and give you peace of mind during their recovery.

Visiting Angels designed the “Ready, Set, Go Home” program to help seniors get the best outcomes after hospitalization by providing essential, non-medical personal care services:

Frequently Asked Questions

Many seniors lose function after hospitalization, which impairs their independence and quality of life. They may feel overwhelmed and exhausted by daily tasks at home, especially if they have a chronic condition along with a serious health event or surgery.

Some seniors develop post-hospitalization syndrome, which can occur for several weeks after hospital discharge. Signs of post-hospitalization syndrome may include:

  • Bowel or bladder concerns
  • Disruptions to sleep patterns, diet, routines, and activity level
  • Foggy thinking
  • Increased disorientation
  • Increased stress and anxiety
  • Lingering fatigue
  • Medication-related side effects
  • Weakness

Seniors are vulnerable to infections, falls, or symptoms that can result in re-hospitalization or death. They may struggle to care for themselves, complete household tasks, manage their medications, attend medical appointments, or contact their medical team about symptoms.

Our “Ready, Set, Go Home” program prepares for your senior loved one’s successful transition home from a hospital or rehabilitation facility.

Our helpful program will also provide you with a checklist/guide where you can:

  • Keep a comprehensive record of instructions
  • Record vital information, such as where they need assistance and who can help coordinate care at home
  • Reference information and notes from healthcare providers
  • Store questions for follow-up visits

Visiting Angels can visit your loved one in the hospital or rehab facility and create a plan before discharge. With input from you and the healthcare team, we can customize senior home care services to meet specific needs at home.
