Three Ways the Senior Helpers ReturnHOME Program Helps Healing

Transitioning a senior loved one back home after a medical intervention can be a complex and challenging process. It is about getting them back into their familiar environment and also ensuring they continue their recovery smoothly.

This is where transitional caregiving services become essential. Older adults may face hurdles like remembering medication, navigating daily activities, and coordinating follow-up care once they are home. Senior Helpers' ReturnHOME Program is designed to tackle these challenges and promote effective healing.

What is Professional Transitional Care?

Professional transitional care plays a significant role in helping the elderly seamlessly move from hospital to home. When offering guidance and support during this phase, it reduces the potential for hospital readmission, a common issue when aftercare is not adequately managed. 

These services ensure they receive the necessary attention and care, which is pivotal to their overall recovery. The Senior Helpers ReturnHOME Program is designed specifically to meet these needs.

Benefits of the Senior Helpers ReturnHOME Program 

The Senior Helpers ReturnHOME Program provides a structured and supportive environment for healing. Our transitional care services make this process smoother and more effective. Here is how it helps:

1. Medication Management

One key aspect of successful recovery is proper medication management. Loved ones need to adhere strictly to their medication schedules to ensure their ongoing health and healing. Senior Helpers assists with it by setting up and maintaining a precise medication regimen.

This means keeping track of what medications need to be taken, when, and in what dosages. By managing these details, we help them avoid complications and setbacks in their recovery. Proper medication adherence has a significant impact on their overall health and accelerates recovery.

2. In-Home Support

In-home support is another major element of the ReturnHOME Program. This support can include personal care services like assistance with bathing and dressing, as well as meal preparation. These services are designed to help older adults maintain their independence while ensuring they are comfortable and safe in their homes. 

It allows them to focus on healing rather than worrying about daily chores. By offering tailored support, the program empowers loved ones to recover in a familiar setting surrounded by the comforts of home.

3. Care Coordination

Coordination is essential to effective care when older adults return home. The ReturnHOME Program coordinates with healthcare providers and family members to ensure a cohesive care plan. 

Our transitional care services support this process by keeping everyone aligned. This structured approach ensures that everyone involved is on the same page, improving care quality and speeding up healing. Effective coordination leads to better communication between all parties and ensures that they receive the best possible care.
