After your loved one returns from the hospital, making sure that they don’t go back is key in maintaining their health. Within the seniors that are on Medicare, 30% of discharged parents end up back in the hospital within 30 days of being released. After a senior is rehospitalized, they have a lesser chance of recovering from their previous injuries.

Ensuring a successful transitional period from hospital to home gives seniors the best chance of getting better. Our Ready-Set-Go program helps seniors do just that. Throughout this program, we’ll provide home care solutions for your loved one and increase the chance that the transition back home is a smooth one. Our program introduces a three-pronged approach that has been proven to prevent hospital readmissions for seniors. 

Home Care Solutions in Hyattsville, Cheverly, and the Surrounding Area

At Visiting Angels, we’ve learned that most hospital readmissions happen because an individual doesn’t follow a doctor’s orders. But, following a serious injury or illness, it can be very hard for an individual to follow certain tasks, even if they are basic. They need outside help during this time and Visiting Angels can provide the one-on-one care that they need to overcome their injury.

To reduce hospital readmissions, Visiting Angels has developed this three-pronged approach for our program:

1. At the Hospital: Our caregivers can help you through the discharge process and provide valuable information on discharge planning. We also offer a “Ready-Set-Go Home” guide that gives detailed information on questions to ask doctors and nurses, hospital discharges in general, and tips on reducing readmission risks.
2. At the Client’s Home: To ensure your loved one’s safety, we provide skilled senior care at their home. We know why many seniors skip appointments and don’t follow doctor’s orders. We stop those behaviors to give a client the highest chance of recovery.
3. At the Visiting Angels Office: At our offices, we will be working behind the scenes to provide your loved one with the home care solutions that they need to thrive. The staff at Visiting Angels can provide medication reminders transportation to appointments, and help you coordinate food and medication deliveries.
