How Our Caregivers Help Seniors in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Areas Return Home from the Hospital
Did you know that according to recent studies, more than one in four seniors who are discharged from the hospital end up needing to be readmitted after 180 days? When older adults are discharged, they often need to follow recommendations from their healthcare provider while recovering at home in order to reduce the likelihood of experiencing complications. But following these instructions isn't always easy, especially if a senior lives alone and isn't able to do everyday tasks while they're recovering or if they have cognitive issues that cause them to forget certain instructions. If your senior loved one has recently been discharged from the hospital, a professional in-home caregiver can help them focus on recovering and reduce the chances of readmission.
This is precisely what our Ready-Set-Go Home program at Visiting Angels Richmond is all about. We offer home care services in accordance with the orders given to your loved one by their doctor and in conjunction with the care provided by your family. Our services are fully personalized and client-centered, so your loved one will get all the help they need for a full or partial recovery, depending on their condition.
What's Included in the Ready-Set-Go Home Program?
Here’s how our transitional care services can help your loved one:
At The Hospital
Our Ready-Set-Go program begins during your loved one’s hospital stay. One of our senior caregivers can visit your loved one in the hospital, providing your family with the support you need during this time. They can guide your family through the discharge process as well. We developed a transitional care guide that can also be of use to you as your loved one is about to be discharged. The guide contains information about hospital discharges, questions you may want to ask doctors and nurses and advice on reducing the risk of hospital readmission.
At Your Loved One’s Home
Once your loved one returns home, one of our home care providers can assist them with activities of daily living to ensure they have everything they need for a safe and comfortable recovery. They are skilled and experienced enough to spot any changes in your loved one’s health, so they can inform your family the moment they notice an improvement or deterioration in your parent’s health. And if you and other family members are acting as primary caregivers for your loved one, our services can help you get respite and manage your responsibilities with ease.
