Transitional Care in Layton Helps Avoid Hospital Readmissions
Ready-Set-Go Home with Transitional Care
When a relative falls ill, your only thoughts are about their recovery. When it's an older relative, your concern may be doubled, since it's senior citizens who are at the greatest risk of readmission following their discharge. On your own, managing their day-to-day needs after a hospital stay can be tricky. Non-medical transitional care from the experts at Visiting Angels® Davis-Weber can help to keep your loved one on the path to a smooth and speedy recovery.
Why Are Layton Seniors So At Risk?
Even when they've not been recently hospitalized, seniors who live alone face an especially greater risk of accidental injury. After a prolonged period spent in the hospital, their risk becomes even greater. Reduced mobility, missed medications, and overexertion are just a few of the common reasons a senior may need to be readmitted. In fact, there is a nearly endless list of dangers that an unsupervised senior can encounter in the first 30 days following their discharge, any one of which can lead to an untimely return, which transitional care from Visiting Angels Davis-Weber can prevent.
