How In-Home Care Can Help Prevent Hospital Readmissions

For many seniors, a hospital stay doesn’t end when they return home. In fact, nearly 1 in 5 older adults are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. These readmissions are often preventable — and in-home care services can play a critical role in keeping loved ones safe, healthy, and out of the hospital.

At Divine Loving Care, we understand that recovery takes more than just time — it takes the right support.

**Recovering at home shouldn’t mean doing it alone.**

The Challenge of Returning Home

After a hospital stay, seniors may face a range of challenges: managing new medications, following complex discharge instructions, maintaining proper nutrition, and avoiding falls. Without the right help, even a minor complication can lead to a return trip to the ER.

This is where a trusted home care agency makes all the difference.

The Role of In-Home Care in Recovery

Licensed home health aides from Divine Loving Care provide personalized support that promotes recovery and stability at home. This includes:

Medication reminders and monitoring

Assistance with mobility and personal care

Meal prep that aligns with dietary instructions

Help attending follow-up appointments

Constant communication with families and care teams

Our compassionate caregivers act as an extension of your loved one’s healthcare team, ensuring they don’t slip through the cracks once they leave the hospital.

The Power of Prevention

When seniors feel supported, they’re more likely to stick to their care plan — and far less likely to face preventable complications. By offering proactive elder care support, Divine Loving Care helps reduce the risk of falls, infections, and medication errors that so often lead to readmissions.

Peace of Mind for Families

Families often feel overwhelmed after a loved one’s hospital discharge. Our team steps in to lighten the load — providing not just physical care, but emotional reassurance and a steady presence during a time of uncertainty.

Recovering at home shouldn’t mean doing it alone.
