What is Transitional Care?
Studies have shown that nearly 20% of Medicare patients are rehospitalized within a month of discharge. Visiting Angels of Matawan care staff work to help local seniors avoid becoming part of these statistics, improving their well-being and chances for recovery through compassionate and skilled care. Our caregivers work to support seniors in following discharge orders, from supervising medications to preparing meals and coordinating therapies and follow-up appointments.
Beyond providing a continuum of care, Visiting Angels caregivers also support seniors with companionship and socialization. Recovering from a hospital stay can tax the body and the mind, so spending time with a friendly and welcoming companion can improve seniors’ outlook on their conditions and improve their mental well-being. Family members can also breathe a sigh of relief knowing someone is there to assist if a medical emergency or decline in health should occur.
If you don’t currently need transitional care, consider senior home care services through a trusted home care agency like Visiting Angels of Matawan.
