Home from Hospital
Our Home from Hospital service can be personalised to help those that have been discharged and returning home from a health treatment to enable them to recover in the comfort of their own home. It may be that you have support from the discharge service, however we can help you remain safe in your own home to reduce any risks of returning to Hospital.
The service we offer is delivered on an individual basis and dependent on needs and risk identified. The individual proceeds through their programme and positive outcomes are achieved. We can then continue to monitor and support as a part of an ongoing programme. We can provide Care and Support to optimise the chances of recovery and reduce risks of any falls or further injury to enable you to feel safe and confident.
The service we offer is delivered on an individual basis and dependent on needs and risk identified. Our hospital to home service can be as flexible as needed to suit your requirements. This may be on a short-term basis or it may be longer, depending on your recovery needs.
