Other forms of dementia include conditions such as vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. These conditions share several symptoms to Alzheimer's, but they also come with unique challenges. Each type of dementia has a different cause. This leads to varying symptoms and causes them to progress in differing ways.

Hospital-to-home Transitional Care

Reducing Hospital Readmissions: Ready, Set, Go Home

An overnight or extended stay in the hospital can be hectic and stressful for anybody. A trip to the hospital can feel even more frustrating and, unfortunately, repetitious for seniors, especially those battling multiple health issues, such as dementia. In fact, research has found that 20 percent of seniors on Medicare are hospitalized again within 30 days of discharge — and many readmissions occur within 7-14 days of leaving the hospital.

Leta Loving Home Care has created a home care resource, “Ready, Set, Go Home,” to help seniors avoid these return trips to the hospital.

Ready, Set, Go Home is a transitional program that provides non-medical support to help seniors successfully adapt to their homes after hospitalization. The program aims to reduce the risk of preventable events or mishaps at home that would cause a return admission to the hospital or emergency room.

 

How Can Leta Loving Home Care Help Reduce Hospital Readmissions?

Leta Loving Home Care designed the Ready, Set, Go Home program to ensure the best outcomes by providing you or a loved one with essential, non-medical personal home care services following a hospitalization. In-home services include assistance with the following:

1. Dressing

2. Personal grooming

3. Bathing

4. Toileting

5. Mobility and transfers

Personal caregivers can offer a helping hand with other tasks, such as:

• Errands

• Meal preparation

• Light housekeeping

• Medication reminders

• Other routine activities
