Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

With the transitional care services available through our Ready-Set-Go Home program, seniors in Versailles can access the dedicated support they need to comfortably recover at home after a hospital stay. The caregivers at Visiting Angels^® Versailles are committed to helping seniors in the local area avoid hospital readmissions. Through high-quality services that are delivered both in the hospital and in the home, we pave the way for a smoother recovery and a reduced risk of rehospitalization.

What Causes Readmissions Among Seniors?

Did you know that almost 20% of Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted within one month of leaving the hospital? This rate of rehospitalization is concerning, as seniors who return to the hospital often have trouble regaining their independence. They also run the risk of contracting hospital-borne illnesses and must deal with the exhaustion that comes with disrupted routines.

However, it can be a struggle for seniors to avoid rehospitalization on their own. After a hospital stay, they may go through a period of functional decline that has them unable to complete tasks that once felt normal. This can in turn prevent them from implementing the instructions dictated by their physicians, increasing their risk of serious complications and an eventual readmission to the hospital.

How Our Transitional Care Program Can Help Seniors in Versailles

Ready-Set-Go Home involves a three-pronged approach to care that covers care recipients' many needs both before they leave the hospital and after they return home. Starting in the hospital setting, our care providers offer guidance and support, particularly with the process of preparing for the discharge. We want to make sure each senior has a specific plan in place that gives them confidence and lays a strong foundation for a successful recovery.

With this personally tailored plan in place, our at-home caregivers can assist elderly adults with a wide range of activities once they return home from the hospital. Caregivers promote adherence to doctors' orders and provide emotional support through what is often a challenging time for seniors and their families.

Throughout the process of delivering care, our office will always be at the ready to provide assistance. We can coordinate reminders, deliveries, and transportation to ensure high-quality care and support every step of the way.
