Call (908) 912-6342 — Readmission Prevention
Call From the Hospital — Care Starts Day of Discharge
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services penalizes hospitals for excessive 30-day readmissions — because readmissions are overwhelmingly preventable. Readmission prevention after Morristown Medical Center from 24 HOUR Home Care NJ targets the four evidence-based factors that drive readmission: medication errors (cause #1), falls (cause #2), missed follow-ups (cause #3), and dehydration/malnutrition (cause #4). Our RN-supervised 30-day protocol addresses all four — every day — starting the moment your parent leaves the hospital.
Research published in PubMed and the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society consistently shows that professional home care reduces readmission by 25-30%. For Morristown Medical Center patients, our readmission prevention protocol is the single most impactful intervention available. See discharge checklist and Morris County post-hospital recovery.
