When a senior undergoes surgery or other in-hospital procedure, most families are most concerned with the outcome of the procedure itself. However, the reality is that the time after an operation is one of the most critical, with nearly 20 percent of discharged patients winding up back in the hospital within 30 days of their release.

So how can you help prevent your loved one from becoming a part of that unfortunate statistic? Professional home care services may be the answer. That is why Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach offers our 3-pronged Ready-Set-Go Home program, which helps seniors in North Virginia Beach stay on track to recovery by providing them with the home assistance care they need, both in the hospital and at home.

How Does Professional Home Assistance Care Provide Transitional Support for Seniors in Virginia Beach, VA?

In order to ensure that seniors undergoing an operation have everything they need in order to safely recover at home from start-to-finish, our caregivers at Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach provide several in-home senior care services that combine to provide truly comprehensive support that helps lower the risk of being readmitted to the hospital. 

Our approach to transitional care address a senior's needs on three levels, including:

At the Hospital 

Seniors in Virginia Beach often need home assistance care even before they come home. A companion caregiver from Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach can act as their advocate while they're in the hospital and help ensure they understand the information and instructions they're given. 

At Home

The help of a home care provider from Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach can help prevent them from overexerting themselves by assisting with everyday household tasks like doing laundry and running errands. We can also ensure that they're following hospital discharge instructions, like attending physical therapy sessions or following a specific diet from their healthcare provider.
