Preventing Hospital Readmissions with Elderly Home Care Services from Visiting Angels of Aspen Hill

At Visiting Angels of Aspen Hill, we realize that you have concerns if your loved one is in the hospital for an extended period of time. You are likely worried about his or her health and well being first and foremost, but you are probably also worried about the recovery. One solution to ease your worries is our elderly home care services.

We created the Ready-Set-Go Home program with the goal of preventing hospital readmissions. We work together with you and health care professionals to help your loved one make a successful transition home after a hospital stay. Through the Ready-Set-Go Home program, we provide the support needed for your loved one to make a full recovery and prevent readmission.

How Visiting Angels Aspen Hill Helps

We help to prevent hospital readmissions by employing a three-phase approach to our elderly home care services, including places outside the home such as the hospital and our office.

In The Hospital

The first step is to provide assistance during your loved one's hospital stay by guiding you and your family through the discharge process. In addition, we will give you a planning guide for our elderly home care services so that you know exactly what to expect. We can also have the home prepared so that it's ready when your loved one returns home, allowing you more time to spend with him or her.

At Home

The most challenging thing for most seniors is being able to perform daily tasks by themselves. This can be very frustrating for them, so we will attempt to help your loved one with as many tasks as possible. It is also safer to have someone around so that your loved one doesn't get injured, leading to readmission.

Another service offered as part of our elderly home care services is appointment reminders. The risk of readmission can rise significantly if appointments are missed, so we will do everything in our power to make sure that your loved one makes it to each one on time.

At Our Office

Visiting Angels of Aspen Hill provides your loved one with support and checking in on your loved one to see if he or she is doing well. They will keep an eye out for any warning signs that a readmission may be in the future. Our office can also make deliveries to your loved one's home.

Contact Visiting Angels of Aspen Hill if your loved one is currently staying in the hospital and you think that additional care to prevent readmission would be helpful.
