How Transitional Care in Lansing Reduces Hospital Readmissions

Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

Do you have a loved one who is currently in the hospital and is scheduled to be discharged? Setting up professional transitional care services for them can help promote their recovery at home as well as their comfort during the discharge process. With the help of a high-quality caregiver from the compassionate team at Visiting Angels® Lansing, your loved one can look forward to aging in place for the long term rather than returning to the hospital because of preventable complications.

What Causes Hospital Readmissions in Lansing? 

Hospital readmissions are all too common among older adults, especially those 65 years of age and older. In fact, reports from Medicare suggest that close to 20% of individuals in this age group are readmitted to the hospital within one month of their return home. In many cases, these rehospitalizations are avoidable. Simply equipping seniors with a helping hand, personally tailored support, and plenty of supervision can promote their recovery, prevent a decline in their condition, and spell the difference between staying at home and going back to the hospital.  

How Our Ready-Set-Go Home Transitional Care Program Helps

Our experience in the industry has shown us just how crucial of a role transitional care can play in seniors' recovery and overall well-being. That's why we have developed our comprehensive Ready-Set-Go Home program. This program has been designed with an understanding of the risks elderly adults face when they are admitted to the hospital. In addition, it takes into consideration the needs and concerns of family caregivers.

To start the program, we visit with seniors and their family members during the hospitalization process. As part of these visits, we'll help coordinate a care plan for the senior's return home. We'll also provide supportive resources for families, including our Ready-Set-Go Home discharge planning guide. Using these resources, they can have confidence as they conduct essential conversations with their loved one's health care providers.

As the senior is discharged and prepares to get into the rhythm of daily life at home, one of our care professionals will deliver dedicated support that could include assistance with mobility limitations and personal care tasks. Caregivers can also prepare healthy meals for seniors, remind them to take medications, and drive them to doctors' appointments.

Getting started with transitional care is a hassle-free process. Contact Visiting Angels Lansing today to learn more about booking a free consultation in Lansing, Chelsea, Hamburg Township, Manchester, Dexter, Stockbridge, Williamston, or a community in the surrounding areas.
