Coming home from hospital, with someone there.
The first few weeks at home are the ones that decide how well a recovery goes. We can be there from the day of discharge.
Hospitals discharge people as soon as they are medically fit, which is often well before they are back to managing the stairs, the shopping and the tablets on their own. That gap is where readmissions happen.
We put a carer in place from the day someone comes home. Help getting washed and dressed, keeping on top of new medication, proper meals, and someone keeping a close eye on how the recovery is actually going.
It is often short term. Plenty of families use us for a few weeks and then stop, and that is exactly what it is there for.
What is included
- Care in place from the day of discharge
- New medication prompted, given and recorded
- Help washing and dressing while mobility comes back
- Meals, shopping and getting the house going again
- Support getting to follow up appointments
- A close eye on recovery, and a call to you if anything changes
- Short term by default, with no minimum term
Who it suits
This suits anyone leaving hospital after a fall, an operation, a stroke or an infection, and it suits families who live too far away to be there for the first fortnight.
Where recovery is slower than hoped, visiting care simply continues. Where it goes well, it stops. Either way you are not tied in.
What it costs
From £25 an hour. What moves the figure is how much time is needed and how complex the care is. Everything, including the funding you may be entitled to, is set out on what it costs.

How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few days, and often faster where a discharge date is already known. Ring us as soon as the hospital starts talking about going home and we will plan around the date.
Can you collect prescriptions and new medication?
Yes. Managing changed medication is one of the most common reasons families call us after a hospital stay, and our carers prompt, administer and record every dose.
Is it just for a few weeks?
It can be. Many families use it short term while someone gets back on their feet. There is no minimum term and no notice period, so you stop when you are ready.
Do you work with the hospital discharge team?
We are happy to speak to the discharge team or the district nurses so that everyone is working from the same plan. Just let us know who to contact.
