Visiting Angels' At-Home Care Services Help Seniors Transition Home from a Hospital Stay in Joplin, Carthage, Neosho, Lamar, Monett, and Surrounding Areas

Visiting Angels of Joplin is experienced in providing transitional care to seniors and the disabled. We offer at-home care to help seniors avoid the expense and frustration of hospital readmission. The first 30 days after discharge pose the highest risk of readmission for seniors. Our personalized care and attention can help your loved one get through the first month after discharge without repeat hospital trips.

Common Causes of Hospital Readmission

There are many reasons why a loved one may be readmitted to the hospital after discharge. An inability to follow discharge instructions is the biggest contributor to hospital readmission. Seniors often assume once they get home, they are in the clear and may be hesitant to ask for assistance. However, transitional at-home care services from Visiting Angels of Joplin can make the transition from hospital to home smoother and easier to manage.

Some of the common reasons why seniors may be readmitted to the hospital include:

  • Trouble adhering to a physician-prescribed meal plan
  • Lack of assistance for limited mobility and walking
  • Failure to follow the doctor's discharge instructions
  • Missing follow-up appointments or therapies
  • Skipping medication doses or taking incorrectly
