What Is Our Ready-Set-Go Home Program?
Our elder care aides are trained to implement the Ready-Set-Go Home program, which is designed for seniors to prevent hospital readmission. Our elder care providers are skilled and trained to provide care following a hospital discharge. Below are the types of services that we provide.
- Support Services prior to discharge: Even before discharge, we will send a caregiver to the hospital so that they can assist you and your loved one with the transition from the hospital to home. They can also take down notes so that your loved one will adhere to the discharge directives given by their doctors. They can also help you understand and make sense of all the instructions so that the risk of hospital readmission of your loved one decreases.
- In-home services: Once your loved one is discharged, we can provide senior care services to make your loved one comfortable during their recovery. The types of services that our caregivers provide include hygiene assistance, feeding, and light house chores. They can also serve as your eyes and ears, in such that they can spot any changes in your loved one’s health so that you can notify their doctors.
- Coordination with medical institutions: They can provide coordination with your preferred medical institution, especially during appointments. They also coordinate additional therapeutic equipment if necessary.
