Transitional Care in Layton Reduces Hospital Readmissions

Ready, Set, Go Home with Transitional Care

At Visiting Angels^® Davis-Weber, we offer transitional care to help Layton area seniors avoid hospital readmission. Due to a number of factors, seniors are at far greater risk of a return trip to the hospital. With our dedicated support, we can help create a safer, easier, and more successful transition back to home.

Why Readmissions Occur

Here are a few factors that cause seniors to suffer from greater rates of hospital readmission:

• Difficult adjustments. Seniors are more likely to face serious health risks, and with that comes some very difficult adjustments. This can be overwhelming for many seniors, so it's important to have a reliable person on hand to assist as needed. 
• Disrupted routine. Hospital stays can cause your loved one to lose sleep and fall out of their typical routine. This can add an extra layer of difficulty when attempting to get back on track. 
• Memory issues. As part of this challenging transition, seniors often have to deal with new medical protocols. For those with memory issues, it can be very difficult to keep up with these changes and follow the advice of their doctors. 
• Failure to follow up. When the margin of error is so low, missed medical appointments can be a huge setback. 
• Making sense of the care plan and diagnosis. It is often difficult for seniors to sift through all of the new information and make sense of their new reality, so it can be very helpful to have someone around to assist in this process.
