If you require ongoing support after this period, we can help arrange continued care through our sister service.
No. There are no charges to you.
Your hospital and local Integrated Care Board fully fund the service.
Absolutely.
Recovering at home allows family, friends and carers to be part of your recovery in a natural and supportive way. Our team will also involve them (with your consent) in understanding your care plan.
Before your care begins, our lead nurse will assess your home environment to ensure it is safe and appropriate.
If any adjustments or equipment are needed, we will discuss this with you and help arrange suitable solutions.
We commonly support patients recovering from:
Pneumonia
Heart failure
COPD exacerbations
Cellulitis requiring IV antibiotics
Post-operative recovery
Falls and frailty-related admissions
Your hospital team will confirm whether Hospital@Home is right for you.
Your safety is our priority.
If your condition changes and hospital treatment becomes necessary, we will coordinate directly with your hospital team to ensure a smooth and safe transition.
