Post-Hospital Care Services From Visiting Angels of Chelsea

If you have a senior loved one who has just returned from the hospital, it’s important that you have a recovery care plan in place to help them avoid any return trips. According to current data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 20% of Medicare patients returning from a hospital stay—nearly 2.6 million seniors—return to the hospital within a month of discharge.

At Visiting Angels of Chelsea, our Ready-Set-Go Home Care program is designed to help seniors make a successful transition to living at home after a hospital stay. Our professional in-home bridge care providers can provide your senior loved one with non-medical assistance to help them achieve a successful recovery.

“I can't begin to say how much Visiting Angels has made an impact on my family's life. When searching for home care for my mother, we didn't know where to begin. From my first conversation with Buteau till my mom passed away 5 years later, my mother received top-notch care, wonderful company, loving friendship, and professional handling of all kinds of emergencies.”

—Daniel, Google Review

Understanding Hospital Readmissions

There are many different reasons why seniors are readmitted to the hospital. Some common reasons for return trips to the hospital include:

  • Difficulty managing symptoms
  • Lack of quality rest and disturbed sleep schedule
  • Missing follow-up appointments with medical care professionals
  • Improperly following doctors’ instructions for recovery
  • Forgetting to take medications as directed

These factors can compound upon each other, making recovery harder. For instance, if your senior loved one isn’t getting proper rest, they may be more likely to miss important medical appointments and forget to take their medications.

About Our Three-Pronged Post-Hospital Care Service

We help seniors avoid hospital readmissions with our three-prong care system:

  1. At the hospital:

    While your loved one is in the hospital, our team will take note of your loved one’s times and dates of follow-up appointments, medications, special dietary needs, home equipment needs, and other factors to design a post-discharge plan to ensure successful continuity of care. Our Angels can even visit your loved one while they are still in the hospital to check in on them for you and your family.
  2. At the client’s home:

    Our team is ready to travel to your loved one’s home to help them recover from a hospital visit. With our personalized in-home care plans, your loved one will receive tailor-made non-medical care so that they can avoid added complications and discomfort. We can help your loved one with many different day-to-day tasks that may be difficult during recovery including bathing, grooming, dressing, cooking, eating, running errands, remembering to take medications, and light housekeeping. When your loved one has a Visiting Angels caregiver assisting them, they won’t have to worry about performing tasks that cause unnecessary strain while healing.
  3. At the Visiting Angels office:

    Our dedicated office staff works tirelessly to coordinate post-acute care for our clients. We can help arrange the delivery of your loved one’s medication, food, medical equipment, and other necessities for after-hospital care.

Additional Homecare Services

In addition to our post-hospital aftercare services, we offer many other in-home care services. Our team can provide your loved one with specialized non-medical care options in conjunction with post-hospital care, including palliative care, dementia care, fall prevention services, elderly companion care, and more. No matter what kind of non-medical help your loved one needs, our Angels are ready to provide.
