Among the older adult population, there is a complex landscape of high-risk factors that can contribute to hospital readmissions. Join this webinar to explore strategies for securing support systems, particularly for individuals navigating five types of risk factors: memory issues, frequent falls, living alone, managing multiple chronic conditions, and multiple medications. Learn how to identify, address, and mitigate these high-risk factors to foster an environment that reduces the likelihood of hospital readmissions.

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

  • Understand the prevalence of readmissions among older adults.
  • Identify five common high-risk factors that can increase readmissions.
  • Learn about securing supports that can help those at high risk of readmissions.
  • Discover resources to help reduce the risk of readmissions.
