According to a recent Dartmouth Institute report, 1 in 5 of all Medicare patients discharged from the hospital will be readmitted within 30 days of discharge. In 2007, a Medicare Advisory Panel found that two-thirds of such readmissions can been prevented. There are several issues that lead to seniors return to the hospital so shortly after being released, but even a non-medical in-home caregiver can help avoid some of the main pitfalls. Avoiding Medication Mixups: a caregiver will provide medication reminders to help you stay in compliance with your doctor's orders. Make sure you have your doctor write down which medications you need, and how to take them. Follow Up Appointments: a caregiver will help you make and keep crucial follow up appointments with your doctor. General Care: eating properly, good personal hygiene, and even regular companionship are important to the health and well-being of any individual, but especially to seniors who have existing health problems.
