Reasons Why Elderly People in the Claremont Area May Need to Return to the Hospital

Our in-home supportive services may help reduce the number of hospital readmissions that seniors in Claremont and the surrounding Upper Connecticut River Valley suffer. We have first-hand knowledge of the reasons behind these readmissions. Failure to adhere to the physician's discharge instructions is the leading cause of hospital readmissions, but many different things might cause this difficulty.

The following are examples of frequent causes of hospital readmissions among the elderly:

• Weakness and exhaustion brought on by hospital sleep disruptions.
• Having trouble sticking to a diet plan that a doctor has recommended
• Facing difficulties at home due to an accident or sickness
• Reduced mobility and higher risk of falls due to a lack of assistance
• Neglecting to take medicine as prescribed
• Problems commuting to treatment or subsequent appointments

According to estimates, over 2.6 million elderly patients are readmitted to hospitals in the US within one month of leaving a facility. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services report that this amounts to $26 million in annual expenditures.

The Ready-Set-Go Home program, offered by Visiting Angels of Upper Connecticut River Valley, may assist families who do not want a loved one to become a statistic. Many older adults in Claremont, Hanover, Keene, Brattleboro, and other areas have benefited from our in-home assistance programs.

2. When your loved one returns home, our caregivers may provide various in-home supportive care services, including help with personal hygiene, walking, medication reminders, food preparation, transportation to doctor's appointments, and more.
3. Coordinating the delivery of food, medicine, and medical equipment is just one of the many services we offer at our Claremont office.
