Transfer of Care - Hospital to Home
If you are an NHS Service who need help with helping someone get home or an individual who needs Personal Help following discharge?
CALL US FREEPHONE 0808 175 4041
We have been proud in providing Hospital discharge services since 2020 being the first VCSE sector organisation to have a contract for this service in southern Staffordshire. And over those six years have helped hundreds of people be discharged promptly to their home and support independent living.
Our role is to work alongside NHS Providers, and Community Hospitals to provide personalised care solutions.
We cover the service for Tamworth, Lichfield, and Burntwood areas and, after discharge we provide longer term support so don't just walk away.
Some of the things we do to work together to support this are:
- Fitting Key Safes
- Food Shopping
- Organising House Cleans or House Clearances
- Furniture Removal and Moving Furniture
- Welfare Calls
- Sign posting to community services.
According to The Health Foundation UK, most people admitted to hospital want to recover and return home as soon as possible. Extended stays in the hospital can lead to a loss of muscle strength by up to 5–10% within the first 7 days, which can hinder their return to living independently or increase the level of support they need.
Analysis by Age UK shows that the average excess bed day – the cost of a patient remaining in a hospital bed after their treatment has ended – costs £346
Your Care, Your Way
Thank you!
"You Were My Rock When I Needed You Most"
"Your unwavering support during my transition from hospital to home was invaluable. You were there for me when I needed you most, engaging in meaningful conversations that made me feel like an active participant in my care rather than just a passive recipient. You talked with me, not to me, ensuring that I understood my options and felt empowered to make decisions about my recovery. This involvement not only brought me immense comfort but also eased my family's worries, knowing that I was at the centre of my own care plan. It was a real comfort to all of us to feel included in the process, knowing that my voice mattered."
