Home From Hospital

Home from Hospital

When admitted to hospital, you may look forward to returning to your own home to recuperate in the place where you feel most comfortable and relaxed. With increased care requirements you may fear that you will not be able to go home and instead will need to move in to a nursing or residential home. Our hospital to home service can enable you to return home after a stay in hospital where we can help you to settle back in to your familiar surroundings.

Whether you require a high level of care or just some support with activities of daily living during your recuperation period, we can provide a Nurse, Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker to assist you.

Post-Operative Care
Our post-operative care is usually planned in advance of your hospital admission. This ensures that every element of your care package is organised to commence from the moment that you are discharged from hospital.

Transport
As part of our hospital to home service we will support you with your transfer from hospital, making sure you feel comfortable at all times. We can arrange for a Nurse, Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker to meet you at the hospital and, where required, can organise transport on your behalf.

Equipment
We can liaise with the hospital discharge team to ensure that any required equipment has been installed in your home, for example hoisting equipment. In addition we will ensure that a full risk assessment is carried out in your home to make sure it is completely safe for your return.

Training
Our service is tailored to meet your individual requirements. Should you have any specific care needs, we can ensure that your Carers have received bespoke training in preparation for your discharge from hospital.

Emergency Response
We understand that hospitals are not always able to give substantial notice before arranging your discharge. Should you need us to respond quickly, our service can often commence within 48 hours of your initial enquiry. Our Care at Home Team can liaise and work closely with your GP, hospital Doctors, Nurses, Discharge Teams and Social Workers to ensure you have a smooth transition from hospital to home.

Please feel free to call Nursing Direct to discuss our home care services on 0330 555 5000. Alternatively, you can request a call-back and we will contact you at a time to suit you.
