Many patients, when released from the hospital, find that
they still need some care as they get back on their feet again at home. The
problem is that it can be expensive to receive the kind of care needed.
Patients, mainly the elderly, often find themselves back in the hospital only
weeks after being released. With medical costs so high, this causes patients to
pay incredibly high fees just to receive medical care to be sent home again and
risk it all happening once more, possibly ending in long-term care.
Senior caregivers in Scottsdale
can help reduce the risks to elderly patients so they can get well without
worrying about landing back in the hospital. The trouble comes with the price
-- many services that offer care cost a great deal, sometimes more than a
person is able to pay.
Not all services are the same. Always Best Care of
Scottsdale offers the services that patients need at prices they can afford, so
the extraordinary fees associated with care coming from the hospital to home
are avoided. ABC Scottsdale’s Hospital to Home Always in Touch services help
lower the rates of elderly patients going back to the hospital or landing in
long-term care.
The Hospital to Home program is designed to lower the risk
of hospital readmission. Always Best Care in Scottsdale AZ
will work with the hospital so that someone will be there to check on the
patient within 72 hours after they return home. This helps ensure the patient's
safety, lets them and their family know that they are receiving care and being
looked after, and helps prevent serious complications as the senior recovers.
Always Best Care Scottsdale will work with the hospital and the patients care
team to make sure the best possible treatment is being received.
Our Always in Touch service is designed to give both
patients and their families the peace of mind they need. The service is free,
and a phone call is made to the senior citizen to reassure them that they’re
not alone, and also to ensure that no serious injuries or problems have arisen
while they are home. Our team will call and allow the phone to ring 15 times,
and then call back in around 15 minutes if there is no answer. If there is
still no answer, emergency contacts will be called. The Always in Touch service
can be a temporary permanent service for those who are returning from the
hospital, live alone, or just need someone to talk to every day.
