Post-discharge transitional care is crucial. Transitional care helps patients adjust to their new environment and way of life. This can help reduce the number of times they have to go back to the hospital and improve their quality of life. J&M Homecare Services helps patients recover smoothly by offering continuity of care at home.

Understanding the risks that might lead to readmission after receiving transitional care is crucial for a speedy recovery from hospitalization. These include:

• Unclear discharge instructions from the hospital
• Poor patient education about their condition and recovery plan
• Lack of follow-up care or monitoring
• Inadequate access to medications, supplies, or other necessary resources
• Poor nutrition or hydration levels
• Failure to recognize signs and symptoms of complications
• Limited social support for the patient

Being readmitted to the hospital after a period of recovery might have serious long-term effects. Patients who are readmitted to the hospital have a higher risk of infection, longer hospital stays, and even death. It may also lead to higher out-of-pocket medical spending and readmission charges that your insurance might not pay. Readmission may also create emotional hardship and worry for the patient and their loved ones.

These risks can all be addressed through proper transitional care. With J&M Homecare Services, you or a loved one can receive the necessary resources and support to ensure a successful recovery at home.
