How Transitional Care in the Lake Norman to Reduce Hospital Readmis
Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care
Transitional care is available for seniors in the Lake Norman area from the compassionate caregivers at Visiting Angels® Lake Norman. As our local care agency is dedicated to supporting seniors while they age in place, we know how crucial it is for individuals in this age group to have a helping hand after being discharged from the hospital. Through our Ready-Set-Go Home transitional care program, we minimize seniors' risk of rehospitalization and assist them with the recovery process in the comfort of their homes.
What Causes Hospital Readmissions?
Medicare has reported that for seniors over the age of 65, there is an almost 20% rehospitalization rate. The thirty days following a hospital discharge are especially crucial for older adults. If they lack high-quality support at home, they may find they are unable to take care of themselves. Even basic activities like bathing, cooking healthy meals, and remembering medication instructions can be challenging when seniors feel weak or are dealing with mobility limitations. Those who do not have a helping hand to manage their well-being often face complications that send them back to the hospital within only a month of being discharged.
How Our Transitional Care Program Helps Seniors in the Lake Norman area
We understand the risks seniors face when they are discharged from the hospital, and our three-prong approach to transitional care targets those risks. To start, we offer in-hospital care visits that give families crucial support and set seniors' expectations for the transitional period. We equip families with important resources, including our Ready-Set-Go Home discharge planning guide, and also encourage them to have essential conversations with the care recipient's physicians.
After the discharge, one of our caregivers will support the senior at home, providing personalized care that is specifically tailored to their needs, requirements, and preferences, as well as their doctors' instructions. These services could take the form of help with bathing, grooming, meal preparation, transportation, mobility, and other day-to-day activities. Along the way, the staff members at our local office will also work to ensure the senior's recovery process is as seamless as possible.
Make certain your loved one has access to high-quality transitional care as they are discharged from the hospital and initiate the recovery process.
