Transitional Care Services for Seniors That Keep Your Loved One at Home

Visiting Angels Houston will do everything in our power to help your loved one transition safely and effectively back home after an extended hospital stay. Our Ready-Set-Go Home program is a three-step process - the first is meeting with you and your senior at the hospital. Here, we will go over the discharge planning guide and help your family ask the right questions to the doctors.

Next, we provide our in-home caregiving services once your senior is home and be on-site at home while they recover. This can include things like mobility assistance and fall prevention, assisting with chores and other types of personal care for seniors, helping them remember to take their medication, providing healthy meals, and more.

Finally, as your loved one is recuperating, our staff members will identify potential risk areas and hazards that may trigger a readmission later down the road and address them with you.

No two senior citizens are the same, and no two recoveries from an extended hospital stay are the same as well. Visiting Angels Houston doesn’t try to apply a one-size-fits-all approach to administering transitional care. We take the time to fully assess your loved one’s situation, what put them in the hospital in the first place, what are the biggest risks of readmission, and how we can work with you and your senior to best avoid them.

Here are a few other services we offer alongside with our post-hospitalization services.
