* Already at home and in need of extra support following a recent stay in hospital
Whatever your circumstance, we can offer a service tailored to meet your individual needs.
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 ISW 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 ISW 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 Home Care Team can liaise and work closely with your G.P, hospital Doctors, Nurses, Discharge Teams and Social Workers to ensure you have a smooth transition from hospital to home.
