It's easy to think that everything will be fine once a loved one returns home from the hospital. But for seniors in particular, this time can be difficult in many ways. Your family member may be grappling with confusion, loss of strength, or other issues. At Visiting Angels® Charlottesville, we help seniors return home safely with Ready, Set, Go Home, our transitional care program. 

We know how crucial it is to have proper assistance in the early days of your loved one's return. Let's look at why that's true, and how we can support your family. 

Understanding The Importance of Transitional Care 

When your loved one comes home, you want to make sure they can remain there for as long as possible. That's why transitional care is so crucial: 

  • High risk of readmission. After an extended hospital stay, the risks of injury or other complications can significantly increase. Unfortunately, almost 20% of seniors must be re-admitted within a month of coming home. Having a professional caregiver on-hand can reduce the potential for these incidents.  
  • A seamless transition. The return home from the hospital requires consulting with doctors to make a discharge plan, coordinating equipment or medication deliveries, and following specific discharge instructions. Visiting Angels Charlottesville will assist with these details and more, ensuring your loved one can return home easily. 
  • Making recovery a top priority. When seniors return home from the hospital, recovery can be a long road. It's easy to forget to take medication or to forego a doctor's appointment because they don't want to burden anyone. We help to eliminate these concerns. With a caregiver on-hand at all times, your loved one will always have support.
