Leave Hospital Sooner with Live In Care Ready When You Are

Hospital Discharge Service

Whether planned or unexpected, admission to a hospital can be a worrying time, particularly for an older person.  Once there, the main objective is always to get well and to get home as soon as possible, but sometime this isn’t always practical without some additional assistance.  Knowing you can go home with the support and help you need can have a huge impact on your emotional well-being and aid the recovery process.

We understand hospital discharge processes and work closely with discharge teams, local authorities, and families across the country to provide full-time live-in care for when a person leaves the hospital once they are sufficiently recovered.

There’s no place like home, so when you’re being discharged from hospital you don’t want to slow down the process by waiting for care to be available. You can go home with all the help and support you need until you are fully recovered, until alternative support can be sourced, or you can decide to retain our services.

Our live in care service can help you to recuperate and regain as much independence as possible by empowering you and showing you new ways to manage your individual care needs where possible.

Discharge summaries are sent direct to your GP practice with any changes to prescribed medication whilst in hospital.

Arranging Care Before You Leave Hospital

Before a person can be discharged from the hospital, their care needs must be assessed so that any support or care services they need can be arranged in advance before discharge.
Any organisations providing these services must be informed of the timing of the person’s discharge and when they can be visited to assess care needs, so that help and support can be arranged before you go home (are discharged).

Integrated Care Service

Communication and coordination with the onward care teams are essential to provide an integrated care service and avoid an unsafe discharge or readmission.
Indeed, many older people are now considering their long-term care before the decision is forced upon them by unexpected hospital admission.
An introduced live-in care professional can provide practical assistance with the tasks of everyday life – such as personal care, support with safe transfers, administering of prescribed medication, monitoring your well-being, preparing meals, shopping, cleaning, companionship, and they are there for you when you want to be accompanied to a medical appointment or even a social outing.

It’s not just the everyday care that makes such a difference to Mum’s life, it the little things that are always thought of. Mum has been out of her home more in the last 6 months than she has in the last 6 years. Seeing the photos of her smiling face full of laughter, tells us how much she’s enjoyed the company, activities, and outings. We definitely picked the right company.

We tried other companies first but there were so many changes, and it all became too much for Mum, not knowing who would be there to help her. Since we chose Live in Care, she’s been so much happier.

The impact that Anna has made on the health and wellbeing for Mum and Dad has been staggering.  Dad, who never gives praise easily, has described her as marvellous.

I am delighted that I found Live-in Care, as the service they are providing for my father is outstanding. This is through all the contact I have had with their manager, office team and the diligent care and attention provided by their first-class carers. Their online reporting system is second to none, enabling me to know on a real-time basis that everything is in order for my father. I thoroughly recommend this company for their entirely efficient, professional, and empathetic service, which has removed all my concerns over my father’s well-being.

Live In Care has been brilliant. My mother had a fall and could no longer manage on her own. From the first assessment appointment, all the members of staff have been both super friendly and professional, they are always responsive, and their work is focused clearly on ensuring that Mum is happy. The carers have been extremely conscientious, and Mum now has a longer-term carer whom she feels thoroughly spoilt by. I still can’t quite believe that Mum is being taken care of so well. It has been a huge relief, and I am so glad and grateful that I found Live In Care.
