Hospital to Home

Our CareGivers will provide you with the necessary support after returning home from hospital. Above all, our personalised care services are designed to promote relaxation and recovery. We can assist you during your recovery process by supporting you with your medication, transport, light housekeeping or accompanying you to appointments.

The price of our homecare will depend on your individual needs and the number of hours of care provided. We always recommend a minimum care visit of one hour to be able to provide safe and effective care. 

Please contact our team in South Trafford so that we can provide you with an estimated cost of care.

There are no qualification requirements for our personalised homecare after hospital services in South Trafford. In some situations, local authorities or social services may offer support for patients when they leave hospital.

Find information from South Trafford council regarding care after hospital discharge.

Whether or not you qualify for NHS continuing healthcare funding after hospital discharge will depend on what your designated team of healthcare staff decide. If you feel you need healthcare related care and support when you leave hospital, speak to our team.

If you or a loved one require support after a stay in hospital, contact our Right at Home office in South Trafford to discuss your requirements.

Reablement is the term used in health and social care as an alternative name for short-term, after hospital care at home. Reablement services include help with daily activities that someone recovering from a hospital stay may not be able to complete alone. These may include washing, dressing and domestic tasks. 

Our highly-rated home from hospital services can be short-term or long-term, depending on your requirements. Long periods spent in hospital can take their toll on mental health and self-confidence as it can feel like you are no longer independent. We believe that intermediate care between hospital discharge and a return to normal life is far preferable to staying in hospital, as the familiar surroundings of your home will encourage your recovery back to health and independent living. 

It is very rare to be discharged directly from an intensive care unit (ICU) to home. Usually, after spending time in an intensive care unit, patients will be transferred to a hospital ward before being discharged home. This interim hospital stay allows you to receive necessary aftercare and continued 24-hour support whilst at your most vulnerable. 

Only once you have been correctly assessed and received any necessary rehabilitation treatment will you be allowed to return to your home. At this stage, you may seek some support from our CareGivers in your home, as it can be quite an adjustment to live independently after a stay in ICU.
