How care at home can help you get home for Christmas

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, especially when you can spend it with your family and loved ones. But if you're in hospital during this time, you may worry that you won't be able to make it home in time for the celebrations. Hospital to homecare services helps make this happen by transitioning you seamlessly from the hospital to your home so that you can enjoy a safe and happy Christmas with your family. 

Here are some of the ways they can help;

Bridging the gap

Care at home helps bridge the gap between your hospital treatment and returning home. It's the safe and effective way of continuing to receive care while being in the comfort and familiarity of your home. Right at Home's team of carers are trained experts who understand that your needs come first. Our care Managers will work closely with you to create your care plan. This enables our carers to ensure you receive continuity of care at the highest standards whilst spending the festive season with your loved ones. 

Providing support 

Hospital to homecare comes in many forms and can be adapted to suit your needs. Right at Home offers our temporary but flexible Hospital to Home rehabilitation care package. Whether you require 24hr care or assistance with everyday tasks, our Care Manager can work with you to establish these requirements. Then our Carers can implement them to the highest standards on your return home. They offer extensive support helping you transition back into your daily life and familiar routines. This can include medication management and emotional and physical support whilst you get back on your feet. 

Speeding up recovery

Homecare offers many advantages to patients and their families. Not only does it help speed up the hospital discharge process, but it also allows for a quicker recovery at home and greater independence. With homecare, caregivers can assist with medication support, meal preparation and daily chores. This helps ensure you are safe and comfortable at home whilst you recover from illness or injury, giving you peace of mind during the holiday season. 

Offering companionship

Homecare can also provide care that staying in a hospital may not be able to, such as companionship, support and a feeling of independence and security. Having someone to talk with while you are at home can be invaluable and helps bring more joy to the holidays. Home care agencies understand how important it is for everyone to have time together during the holiday season. They will do their best to ensure you can have a wonderful time at home with your loved ones. 

Making a difference

Hospital to homecare services can make all the difference during the holiday season by ensuring that hospital stays don't distract too much from the festivities. They offer an alternative for those needing care, allowing them to be with their family and friends on special days without worrying about hospital visits. Instead of having a hospital bed serve as a hospital room, homecare allows you to remain in the comfort of your home while receiving care.
