Roughly 20 percent of older adults on Medicare return to the hospital within the month after a discharge. Seniors have a much lower chance of recovery if they are readmitted during this 30-day window, which is why reducing hospital readmission is crucial.

The Ready-Set-Go Home program from Visiting Angels utilizes transitional at-home senior care services in order to help our clients in Tucker, Lilburn, Stone Mountain, Lawrenceville, and surrounding Georgia communities successfully transition from a hospital setting to a home environment through our three-step approach. After a hospital discharge, our friendly and caring staff will be on hand to coordinate your loved one’s transition home, help your loved one during this transition, and ensure on-site support in the weeks following their discharge.

How Our At-Home Senior Care Services Help Seniors in Tucker, GA and Nearby Areas Avoid Readmission

At Visiting Angels, our approach to at-home senior care in Tucker and surrounding areas has seen a high degree of success. While most readmission can be avoided by simply following doctors’ orders, it’s a problematic situation for seniors who live alone and have no assistance. Coupled with weakness, pain, and immobility, it’s essentially impossible for a senior to care for themselves. Therefore, transitional at-home senior care is needed from an outside source.

The Ready-Set-Go Home Program’s Three-Step Approach

Here's how the Ready-Set-Go Home program from Visiting Angels of Tucker can help seniors who have been discharged from the hospital:

• At the Hospital: We start our Ready-Set-Go Home program before your loved one leaves the hospital, with caregivers who are on-site to provide support for the client and their family. With their guidance and suggestions, they can greatly simplify the discharge process.
  
  
• At the Client's Home: After the discharge, our home care providers provide assistance with common household tasks and ensure your loved one's safety as they heal. During the recovery, we will be the “eyes and ears”, keeping watch of your senior’s physical and cognitive health and contacting you if anything changes. Additionally, should any family caregivers need relief, our respite care program allows them to take care of their own health and well-being.
  
  
• At the Office: At our office in Tucker, GA, our staff will support your family. We can also accompany your loved one to appointments, provide appointment and medication reminders, and help you organize and coordinate food, equipment, and medication deliveries.
