Home Care Companions Provide Post Hospitalization Assistance in Fairfield, CT, and the Nearby Area
Ready-Set-Go Home is a transitional care program to help seniors adjust to living at home after a hospital stay. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, roughly 20% of discharged patients return to the hospital within 30 days. Elderly adults have a lower chance of recovery if they are re-hospitalized during this window.
Therefore, reducing hospital readmissions is essential to maximize health and minimize expenses. Visiting Angels of Fairfield home care companions are committed to reducing hospital readmissions through our Ready-Set-Go Home program.
