Why Transitions Matter
Returning home after a hospital stay can feel overwhelming — especially for older adults or those managing multiple health conditions. Transitional moments often come with risks such as:
medication errors
confusion around discharge plans
difficulty following instructions
limited support at home
caregiver stress and burnout
For individuals with memory loss or dementia, these risks are even higher. Research shows that people living with dementia are twice as likely to be rehospitalized and face increased risks for delirium, falls, and complications.
Hospital 2 Home exists to bridge this gap — for all clients, and with specialized dementia-capable expertise when needed.
One in 2,800
Research shows that structured transitional care can reduce 30-day hospital readmissions by 25–40%.
Nevada 30-Day Medicare Readmission Rate: 34%
Hospital 2 Home Readmission Rate: 1 readmission in 2,800 cases (equivalent to: ~.034%)
Benefits
Research shows older adults who receive structured transitional care support are around 25-40% less likely to be readmitted to hospital within 30 days, thanks to improved coordination and follow-up.
Hospital 2 Home helps clients and caregivers achieve:
Better health outcomes and greater medical stability
Reduced caregiver burden
Improved patient engagement
Easier access to long-term care resources
Stronger coordination across care settings
Prolonged safety and independence at home
