Most Hospital Readmissions are Preventable
When you or a loved-one is discharged from the hospital, the effects of your condition may continue making it a challenging transition from hospital to home. It can be difficult to find a new normal as you adjust back to daily life.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, "One in five Medicare patients who leave a hospital will be readmitted within 30 days." Most of those readmissions are preventable with a little extra attention and care.
That's exactly what Right at Home offers with the RightTransitions program.

- Communication with family and healthcare providers

These services and much more are available to you or a loved one needing help. Please call our office for a complimentary assessment at: 402-488-4421
