How Transitional Care in Lafayette Reduces Hospital Readmissions

Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

With the Ready-Set-Go Home program available for seniors in Lafayette, those who are in the hospital and will soon be discharged can look forward to having help with their recovery. The care providers at Visiting Angels® Northern Central Indiana understand that rehospitalizations are a huge risk for older adults. We work to assist seniors with preparing for their discharge and getting back into their normal routine at home to prevent avoidable complications.

What Causes Readmissions in Lafayette?

Readmissions are typically the result of a combination of factors that make it difficult for an elderly adult to maintain their well-being after a hospital stay. Examples include exhaustion, cognitive decline, fear of further injury or strain, and a drop in personal motivation. These variables can decrease seniors' ability to conduct basic tasks that are crucial to their ultimate recovery. After all, if someone cannot prepare meals, bathe, or take medications on time by themselves, their chances of a positive outcome are slim.

How Transitional Care Helps Seniors

Because the process of being discharged from the hospital and recovering at home is complex, we have created an entire senior care program focused on this endeavor. Ready-Set-Go Home is based on three important "prongs" of care to ensure comprehensive support for the senior and assistance for their family caregivers.

Take a look at how these three prongs work together to promote seniors' well-being before, during, and after their transition from hospital to home:

  1. We begin by assisting with discharge planning at the hospital. Working with seniors and their family members before the discharge is important to laying the foundation for a solid recovery. Our care coordinators offer excellent resources for this process and outline a plan of care based on family preferences and doctor directives.
  2. We help seniors at home with a wide range of tasks. Seniors can experience high-quality care in the comfort of their homes thanks to our compassionate caregivers. Meal preparation, basic chores, help with personal care, and medication reminders are just a few of the services that can be provided.
  3. We track seniors' progress from our office. Our office staff monitor care recipients' recovery and are always ready to help coordinate visits from caregivers, important reminders, and deliveries if needed.
