Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care Services

For many seniors, the journey home after a hospital visit or stay at a medical facility can be fraught with emotions ranging from relief to concern. Whether returning to the comforts of home or establishing a new normal, even the most independent older adults living in Yukon, OK, and the surrounding areas can benefit from additional care as they settle in.

Visiting Angels Yukon provides transitional care services to local seniors to support their recovery and help prevent readmission. Our care team helps aging adults and their loved ones coordinate hospital discharge before it actually happens, guiding them through adherence to discharge instructions, medication management, and follow-up appointments. Trust our experienced caregivers and custom-tailored care plans to help you or an aging loved one make a smooth transition home.

How Transitional Care Supports Recovering Seniors

While familiar surroundings can provide some comfort and relief for seniors recently in the hospital, they may quickly find that the basic daily tasks they’re used to become overwhelming. For example, preparing a meal or bathing can take longer and require more effort, especially for seniors with limited mobility during recovery. Yet failing to keep doctor’s appointments, adhere to new medication regimens, and follow discharge instructions can lead to the slippery slope of readmission.

Part of what we do at Visiting Angels Yukon is provide families with tips specific to the living space of an elderly person transitioning home after a hospital stay. In addition, our caregivers welcome the opportunity to bridge the gap between the care seniors receive in the hospital and the assistance they need to recuperate. We also work with physicians and family members to foster a continuum of care centered on seniors.

How Visiting Angels Yukon Customizes Transitional Care

Whether it’s via transitional care or one of our many senior care services, Visiting Angels Yukon tailors its approach using a two-ingredient formula: custom-tailored care plans and dedicated caregivers. Below, explore how these components combine to support older adults living in Yukon, OK, and the other areas we serve.

Personalized Care Plans

When you first contact Visiting Angels Yukon about transitional care, our care staff will schedule an initial consultation. Unlike consultations for our other services, the meetings we coordinate for transitional care can take place in the home or within the hospital.

Compassionate, Experienced Caregivers

One of the more critical elements in our transitional care services is our caregivers, whom we fondly call “Angels.” Each caregiver we welcome to the Visiting Angels Yukon team undergoes stringent qualification requirements and screening to ensure we match you or your elderly loved one with an Angel that best fits your personality, schedule, and needs. Several have said they often treat clients as respected family members, dedicating their time to improving each day with a smile and a helping hand.
