TRANSITIONAL CARE IN PHOENIX, AZ - ELEMENTS OF ELDER CARE

Healthcare involves many types of care and movement. One of the hardest things to figure out is how to make sure that your loved one has care after leaving the hospital. It can be very discouraging and stressful for your loved one to navigate the post-hospital needs from doctors appointments to managing new medications. The term transitional care is used a lot in the healthcare industry and most refers to when healthcare is provided to help move a patient from one setting of care to another. Making sure that all the steps are taken care of and that the patient is cared for throughout the transition. We do offer this, but as mentioned above, everyone at Elements of Elder Care is able to assist with this and more. This type of care helps not only you or your loved one, but also peace of mind so no one has to worry about missing any medications, information, forms, or doctors’ appointments needed.

TRANSITIONAL CARE EXAMPLE:

“I just got out of the hospital and I have no idea where to begin with all of these medications and follow-up appointments. I wish I had help.” Here at Elements of Elder Care we are available to assist you with medication schedules and doctor appointments after leaving the hospital. And we do all from the comfort of your own home in the Phoenix Arizona area.

WHAT IS TRANSITIONAL CARE? WHAT DOES IT ENTAIL?

Transitional care involves the change of setting to a patient after leaving a medical hospital after a stroke, slip and fall, or other illness. As people get older, their health changes, therefore their healthcare and support needs also changes. Here at Elements of Elder Care, we provide care to help our patients as they transition from the hospital back to their home. We provide continued care so they feel safe and cared for during an already stressful time. Transitional care is designed to support the specific healthcare plan that is already in place for an individual. It is time-limited care that is provided as a filler in between stages of healthcare. The intent is to bridge the gap between levels of care. When you trust Elements of Elder Care to care for you or your loved one, we ensure safe living arrangements, provide a friendly ear of support and make sure that the transition is smooth and that medications aren’t missed and doctor appointments are made.

WHAT KIND OF TRANSITIONS ARE THERE?

Changes in healthcare include changes in setting, degree of healthcare, and even healthcare providers. Transitional care can look different in a variety of ways depending on the needs of each individual patient. Transitions in and between settings are very common during someone’s healthcare journey. Some examples of changes in setting include home to assisted living, primary care to specialty care, senior center to hospice. Many other settings are included when it comes to change of care based on one’s setting. Transitional care also includes changes in the level of healthcare provided. Examples of changes in healthcare include more intense care in private duty care, general practitioner to specialized practitioner, in or out of physical therapy, and even changes among nurses or physicians.

HOW LONG IS TRANSITIONAL CARE TYPICALLY NEEDED?

Transitional care is designed to be time-limited and based on the needs of our patient’s and their healthcare plan. It could be as short as a few weeks to months. If they are leaving the hospital and can go home, we come to you, to support your loved ones with doctor’s appointments and medications. If they are in an assisted living facility, we can also provide that extra care that they need there as well. We can take them to physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other healthcare appointments. As the needs of our patients change, we can help guide you all through all the elements of your life. Healthcare, just like our patients, is unique and different. Our transitional care service is here to make sure that your unique needs are met without missing a step.
