Having a senior loved one finally discharged from the hospital can be a great relief. However, it’s important to make sure that your loved one will have after-hospital care support after their discharge to assist with recovery. At Visiting Angels of Farmington Hills, we provide in-home post-hospital care to help seniors in Royal Oak, Livonia, Berkeley, and nearby areas avoid added strains and complications while recovering from a hospital stay.

“My friend recommended this company to me when I was looking for some help with my grandmother. I was very overwhelmed at the start of the transition but Visiting Angels has made this process as smooth as possible for me and my family. I want to give a special thank you to Carlie she was exceptionally helpful and devoted to getting the right care for my grandmother’s specific needs.”

Helping Prevent Hospital Readmissions

Current research shows that hospital readmission rates for seniors are staggeringly high. Almost one-fifth of Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted to the hospital within a month of initial discharge. Why is this the case? There are many causes of readmission, such as inability to attend follow-up appointments, forgetting to follow doctors’ instructions, and unnecessary strain during daily life. As such, giving your senior loved one an extra set of helping hands with the recovery process and day-to-day activities is a great way to help them avoid a return trip to the hospital. With Visiting Angels, your loved one can receive professional post-discharge care from our caregivers at home. 

Visiting Angels Recovery Care

We can provide your loved one with bridge care services to promote a successful recovery. Our team offers help around the house, transportation to appointments, medication reminders, and other non-medical care services that are integral to the recovery process. We operate on a three-stage model to best help patients achieve positive outcomes. 

The three stages of our transitional care program are:

1. In-Hospital Care. Our team will help you and your family arrange post-acute care for your loved one while they are still in the hospital. We can even provide your loved one with extra non-medical help while they are still in the hospital. 
2. In-Home Care. Once your loved one has returned home, we will provide them with home care services and help them follow their physicians’ instructions for recovery.
3. Support From Our Office. Our office staff works round-the-clock to ensure that your loved one’s care plan is always tailored to their needs and that you and your family are always up-to-date with any changes in your loved one’s condition. 

Using this three-step approach, we can help your loved one stay safe and healthy as they recuperate. If desired, we can also coordinate with your loved one’s medical care team to ensure good continuity of care and that all of their non-medical needs are met. And, since our team is available to provide care at all hours of the day, you and your family can have peace of mind knowing that your loved one will always have the care they need.
