Reducing The Risk Of Readmission With Visiting Angels Elderly Home Care Services In Santa Cruz, CA

At Visiting Angels Santa Cruz, we realize that family members have concerns when a loved one is hospitalized. You are worried about his or her health while in the hospital, but planning for assistance when they return home is equally important too. Our elderly home care services are among the best options to reduce the risk of readmission for your loved one.

The main goal of our Ready-Set-Go Home program is to ensure that your loved one will not have to be readmitted to the hospital. We will focus on helping your loved one transition to live at home again, working directly with your family and care professionals.

How Visiting Angels Santa Cruz Reduces The Risk of Readmission

Our Ready-Set-Go Home program works in three stages to best meet the needs of your loved one starting when he or she is in the hospital and continuing upon returning home.

In the Hospital

Our assistance starts during your loved one’s hospital stay and helps you and your family through the discharge process. Because knowing what to expect in regards to care is so vital, we provide a guide with questions you can ask regarding our care services. Also, we can prepare your loved one’s home to save you and your family the effort.

At Home

In their home, we provide non-medical care in an effort to reduce the risk of readmission. The most difficult part of the transition is usually regular, daily activities. That’s why we assist with laundry, cooking, bathing, dressing, and moving around. This assistance will help reduce the risk of readmission by preventing falls and other injuries.

Another one of our elderly care services is making sure your loved one gets to his or her follow up appointments. Missing these can lead to readmission, so we’ll make sure that they make it there on time, every time.

At Your Local Office

Visiting Angels Santa Cruz will coordinate deliveries of medication and equipment to your loved one’s home with you. We will keep an eye out for warning signs in your loved one too. Keeping lines of communication open with you and your family is also a focus for us.

If your loved one is in the hospital or returning home, reach out to our office to learn about our elderly home care services and how they can reduce the risk of readmission.
