Transitional Care in Las Vegas

For seniors, a single hospitalization can lead to a series of rehospitalizations that not only affect their physical condition, but also their quality of life. The aim of our transitional care program at Visiting Angels® in Las Vegas is to stop this cycle before it starts by giving elderly adults a better chance of making a full recovery.

Through in-hospital support and at-home care delivered by our compassionate caregivers, transitional care enables seniors to feel fully supported throughout their journey of recovery as we assist them with living life on their own terms, even during this time when they feel most vulnerable.

What Causes Hospital Readmissions in Las Vegas?

Every patient's situation is unique, but seniors who are readmitted to the hospital often share similar circumstances, which can include the following:

  • Feeling weak and exhausted. It's normal that seniors don't feel their best after a hospital stay, but this can result in further health complications if it prevents them from looking after their well-being.
  • Issues with mobility. Mobility limitations can keep elderly adults from doing essential tasks like preparing healthy meals, bathing, or going to the pharmacy to pick up medications.
  • Cognitive decline or memory issues. When seniors struggle to remember their doctors' orders or medication schedules, they can suffer serious physical consequences.
  • A lack of reliable assistance at home. Those who do not have a caregiver to turn to at home often find that making a full recovery is much more difficult.

How Our Transitional Care Program Helps

At Visiting Angels, we know nearly 20% of Medicare beneficiaries return to the hospital shortly after their discharge. Our Ready-Set-Go Home® transitional care program is carefully designed to reduce this high rate of rehospitalization.

First, recipients of our transitional care services receive in-hospital support that helps them and their family members prepare for the discharge and make appropriate plans for care. We give families important resources during this challenging time and help them gather essential details from their loved one's physicians about what to expect from the transition and recovery process.

Second, our next step is to assist seniors with getting back into their daily routine at home. Caregivers can help out with implementing doctors' instructions, remembering medication schedules, cooking healthy meals, providing transportation to appointments, and more. The specific services we offer are always tailored to the unique needs of the senior and the circumstances of their discharge.

Sidestep Post Hospital Syndrome and Hospital Readmission

Going home after a hospital stay does not mean you are out of harm’s way. When an individual feels extra tired, weakened or even confused after being in the hospital they may have what’s called Post-Hospital Syndrome. Your sleep is poor, you’re not eating right or moving around as much as you used to. Because of symptoms like these, it’s easier to get sick again or fall down - ultimately winding up back in the hospital.

That’s why people often require extra help and personal care at home after discharge. Hiring an in-home caregiver from Visiting Angels in Las Vegas can curb the symptoms of Post Hospital Syndrome and reduce the risk of hospital readmissions.

Steps to Set Up Transitional Care with Visiting Angels


  • Step 1 - Contact Us Early. Try to call us before your loved one goes into the hospital, or as soon as you know they will. This helps us get ready to support them.

  • Step 2 - Dialogue with Hospital Staff. We’ll work with your loved one’s nurses and doctors to learn everything we need to know about what kind of help they need, when to take medicine and who to call in case of an emergency.

  • Step 3 - Help Begins at Home. When you or your relative comes home from the hospital, our caregiver starts right away with helping the individual get around the house, toileting, eating and remembering to take meds.

  • Step 4 - Ongoing Support & Rides to Appointments. We help with all activities of daily living (ADLs) and take our clients to the doctor for check-ups or follow-up appointments.

  • Step 5 - Stick to the Care Plan. We follow the home care plan (adjusting where necessary) to help your loved one get better and avoid readmission to the hospital.
