Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

At Visiting Angels^® Wilmington, we know that hospitalization is a scary time for families. You want your loved one home and healthy. Unfortunately, many seniors find themselves back in the hospital within 30 days of discharge. To help seniors in the Wilmington area transition home from a hospital stay with success, we offer our Ready-Set-Go Home program. This program offers non-medical transitional care at home to help seniors continue to rest, recuperate and avoid hospital readmission.    

Transitional Care Solutions in Wilmington

At Visiting Angels Wilmington, we know seniors face many challenges while transitioning from the hospital back home to recuperate. That's why our Ready-Set-Go Home transitional care program offers solutions that begin at the hospital and continue to support your loved one at home. 

Detailed follow up care plan.

Often, seniors return home without a discharge plan outlining follow up care, new prescriptions and doctors’ appointments. A caregiver from our Wilmington office will meet with your loved one’s medical team to create a detailed transitional care plan using our Discharge Planning Guide.

Trying to recuperate at home alone can be a struggle, especially for seniors. At Visiting Angels Wilmington, caregivers can help with:
