Transitioning home after a hospital stay can be a challenging time for seniors, often requiring careful planning and ongoing support to ensure a smooth recovery. At Golden Gate Care, our Ready-Set-Go Home program provides compassionate, in-home care designed to reduce the risk of hospital readmissions and enhance your loved one’s well-being during this critical period.
Extended hospital stays can impact a senior’s physical and emotional health, increasing the risks of:
1. Infections and weakened immune systems.
2. Loss of muscle mass, leading to reduced mobility.
3. Functional decline, affecting daily activities.
4. Confusion and isolation, particularly in seniors with dementia.
Unfortunately, many seniors are readmitted to the hospital shortly after discharge. With effective discharge planning and professional support, this risk can be significantly reduced.
Our Ready-Set-Go Home program is specifically designed to offer non-medical assistance for seniors transitioning from hospital or rehabilitation care to home. We focus on providing personalized care services to support recovery and ensure your loved one’s safety and comfort.
1. Dressing, personal grooming, and bathing assistance to maintain hygiene and comfort.
2. Toileting and mobility support, including help with transfers.
3. Companionship to reduce feelings of loneliness and foster emotional well-being.
4. Errand running for groceries, prescriptions, and other essentials.
5. Light housekeeping to keep the home environment clean and safe.
6. Meal preparation for balanced and nutritious recovery-focused diets.
7. Medication reminders to ensure timely adherence to prescribed schedules.
The first two to seven days after discharge are critical in preventing complications. Our caregivers work closely with your loved one, identifying potential concerns early and collaborating with primary care providers to address issues promptly. This vigilant approach minimizes the risk of readmissions and emergency room visits.
At Golden Gate Care, we are committed to making the transition from hospital to home as smooth and stress-free as possible. Let our experienced caregivers support your loved one’s recovery with our Ready-Set-Go Home program.
