How Raleigh-Area Seniors Can be at Risk of Hospital Readmission

At Visiting Angels of Raleigh, we have experienced insight as to why hospital readmissions occur for seniors in Raleigh and throughout Wake County and how our in-home supportive services can help. Most hospital readmissions are caused by an inability to follow the physician's discharge instructions. There are many factors which may contribute to this problem.

Some of the common reasons seniors end up being readmitted to the hospital include:

  • Exhaustion and fatigue from interrupted sleep schedules in the hospital

  • Difficulty following a physician prescribed meal plan

  • Struggling to manage an illness or injury at home

  • Lack of support for limited mobility and increased fall risk

  • Failure to take prescribed medications as directed

  • Difficulty getting to therapies or follow-up appointments

In the United States, it is estimated that within the first month after discharge, over 2.6 million seniors are readmitted to the hospital. This contributes to expenses totaling $26 million per year according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service.

Nobody wants to see their loved one become a statistic and the Ready-Set-Go Home program from Visiting Angels of Raleigh can help. Our in-home supportive services have helped countless seniors in Raleigh, Wake Forest, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Apex, Holly Springs, Zebulon, and surrounding communities in Wake County, NC, for over 23 years.

How Our In-Home Supportive Services Helps Seniors in the Raleigh Area Recover at Home

The Ready-Set-Go Home program from Visiting Angels of Raleigh can help your loved one avoid hospital readmission after discharge. Our three-pronged approach to providing in-home supportive services for those returning from the hospital has successfully supported countless local seniors in Wake County in their recovery.

Here's how the Ready-Set-Go Home program works:

  1. While in the hospital, our care coordinators can visit your loved one and provide them with our free discharge planning guide. This guide can help you keep track of medications, follow-up visits, symptoms to watch for, and any dietary restrictions.

  2. Once home, our caregivers can assist your loved one with in-home supportive care services such as dressing, bathing, walking, fall prevention, preparing meals, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and other tasks.

  3. At our Raleigh office, we can help coordinate the delivery of meals, medications, medical equipment, and more.

Unlike other local home care agencies in Wake County, Visiting Angels of Raleigh utilizes a personalized, one-on-one approach to our in-home supportive services for seniors returning home from the hospital. That means our team will work with you to ensure your loved one's care plan provides the care and assistance they need throughout their transition, from the days leading up to discharge to follow-up appointments after they've returned home. Our care plans are also flexible and can be modified as needed, allowing our caregivers to continue providing the care your loved one needs to remain independent and age in place.
