Transitional Home Health Care Services for Seniors in Gaithersburg, MD and Surrounding Areas
The Ready-Set-Go Home program is designed to provide the home health care services needed to create a smooth transition back home and prevent hospital readmission for seniors in Gaithersburg, Potomac and surrounding areas in MD
At Visiting Angels Gaithersburg, we developed the Ready-Set-Go Home program because we were aware of how badly in need seniors across the country were for a quality transitional care program. Just like the rest of our home health care services, Ready-Set-Go Home is designed to help seniors maintain their independence without having to compromise their safety. Our three-pronged approach reduces hospital readmissions, which present a major risk for seniors after they are discharged from the hospital.
The Causes and Consequences of Hospital Readmission
The statistics are very disheartening. According to recent research, one in five of seniors on Medicare end up back in the hospital within a month after being discharged. The fact is that older adults, who may be frailer than the rest of the population, are prone to ending back up in the hospital much more often than others.
Hospital readmissions are so prevalent in the senior community because they are not able to take care of everything they need to at home, forcing them to compromise on certain parts of their rehabilitation. For example, a senior may ignore dietary doctors' recommendations because they are not strong enough to prepare meals on their own. Instead, they choose to order in, opting for unhealthy, fatty, oily, cheaper options. As you can imagine, this will have a negative impact on their overall health.
