Introduction
Transitional care includes a wide range of services and environments aimed at promoting the secure and timely transmission of patients between health levels and care facilities. For older persons with various chronic diseases and complex therapy regimes, and their family cares, high-quality transitional care is especially vital. Typically, these patients are cared after by several providers and often travel through medical facilities. An increasing number of studies show that they are especially prone to care failure and therefore have the highest need for transitional care (Camicia & Lutz, 2016). Poor "care" from hospital to home for elderly persons and their families is related to negative occurrences, low care satisfaction, and high re-hospitalization levels. Many components influence to key shifts in care gaps. Ineffective leadership, insufficient information transmission, inadequate learning of older people and caregivers, lack of availability to critical services, and a single point person's absence, are all contributing to ensuring that care continues. The challenge is compounded by language and health education and cultural barriers (Naylor & Van Cleave, 2019).
