How Transitional Care in Stroudsburg Reduces Hospital Readmissions

Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care

If your parent, grandparent, or close family friend is elderly, their admission to the hospital can be incredibly worrying. For many seniors, a hospital admission is the beginning of a series of health complications and rehospitalizations that reduce their independence and cause physical, emotional, and financial stress. Transitional care from Visiting Angels® Stroudsburg is specifically designed to help seniors avoid this cycle and encourage their recovery and ability to age in place for the foreseeable future. 

What Causes Readmissions in Stroudsburg? 

You may already know the statistics for rehospitalizations among elderly adults are quite high. There are numerous causes for readmissions to the hospital, and many of them are preventable. It often happens that seniors have trouble doing basic activities after a hospital stay. While recovering from an injury or illness, they may feel weak or unmotivated. This can lead them to skip their doctors' orders, forget important appointments or medication instructions, or fail to eat healthy meals or drink fluids. Consequently, their physical well-being can decline, and they may encounter complications that make a return to the hospital a necessity.

How Our Ready-Set-Go Home Transitional Care Program Helps

With transitional care delivered by a professional care provider, you can foresee your loved one's needs during recovery and ensure those needs are addressed. Our program focuses on laying the foundation for a smooth transition home and a successful recovery by beginning care visits while the senior is hospitalized. We help families with discharge planning and gather insights into the physicians' expectations for the recovery process. That way, our care providers can be equipped with all the necessary information to support the senior every step of the way.

When seniors return home, our care providers will know the areas in which they need the most support. Care plans can include help with personal care routines, light housekeeping, homemaking, and transportation to appointments. Our caregivers can also provide reliable transportation and timely medication reminders to help seniors stay on track with their recovery. 

Our local office works behind the scenes to support both our care professionals and family caregivers. We have innovative tools that help identify high-risk cases, facilitate scheduling changes, and coordinate deliveries. This comprehensive approach to transitional care boosts seniors' chances of making a recovery and remaining at home rather than returning to the hospital.
