Ready-Set-Go Reduces Hospital Readmissions in Greater Benton, AR

For seniors in Alexander, Benton, Bryant, Mabelvale, and other communities in Arkansas who are about to be released from the hospital and might require assistance with the discharge planning process as well as their recovery at home, Visiting Angels® of Benton has developed a program called Ready-Set-Go Home. The goal of this transitional senior care program is to reduce patients' chances of being readmitted to the hospital, allowing them to recover in familiar surroundings and resume their lives as independently as possible.

Our in-home care providers have the experience needed to help seniors in a wide range of circumstances, giving them the greatest opportunity possible to age in place without having to deal with the stress of hospital readmission.

Why Are Hospital Readmissions Common Among Seniors in Benton, AR, and the Surrounding Areas Without the Help of In-Home Care Providers?

Statistics show that seniors have a high chance of going back to the hospital. Nearly 20 percent of Medicare patients are readmitted within four weeks after being released from the hospital. Because rehospitalization can disrupt your senior loved one's routine and introduce new risks, it is critical to assist them in avoiding situations that contribute to problems and further hospital readmissions.

For instance, staying in a hospital may be exhausting, especially for your elderly loved one. They may have trouble sleeping and feel overwhelmed by the stress of a hospital stay. After a stay in the hospital, it may be difficult for even the most self-reliant seniors to handle daily tasks like preparing meals, getting to and from doctor's appointments, and remembering to take their medications. As a consequence, neglecting these responsibilities might hasten their health deterioration and pave the way for difficulties.
