Reducing Readmission with a Visiting Angels Bangor Home Health Aide

Don't Be Readmitted! Get A Home Health Aide from Visiting Angels of Bangor

At Visiting Angels Bangor, we understand the concerns that families have when a loved one is hospitalized. Families are not only concerned about his or her health and recovery, but whether or not assistance will be needed at home. One of the best ways to reduce the risk of readmission is to get a home health aide.

Reducing the risk of readmissions is precisely why we created the Ready-Set-Go Home program. Through this program, we work with families and health care workers to help seniors’ transition back home. Care provided by our caregivers reduce the risk of hospital readmissions and help with recovery.

How Visiting Angels Bangor Helps With Readmissions

The Ready-Set-Go-Home program is a three-stage approach that allows us to meet the needs of seniors both during their hospital stay and their successful recovery back home.

In The Hospital

Visiting Angels Bangor begins by providing assistance in the hospital and continuing care at home. Upon release, we provide a guide with helpful questions to ask about getting one of our aides. We also give families more time to spend with their loved one by preparing the home prior to discharge.

At Home

The most difficult part about the transition home is often performing daily activities. In order to ease their minds, we help your loved one with laundry, preparing meals, getting dressed, using the bathroom, moving around, and other activities. The presence of our home health aides can also help reduce the risk of readmission by preventing falls and other physical injuries.

One of the most important services we offer is getting loved ones to appointments. Missing follow-up appointments can increase the likelihood of readmission. Your loved one’s care aide will remind them of these appointments and get them there on time.

At The Visiting Angels Bangor Office

The Visiting Angels Bangor office can help loved ones by delivering food, medication, and equipment to their home. We will also keep an eye out for any signs of risk. Our communication with families also gives them support and access to helpful information.
