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.

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.

Live in Care – thank you, thank you, thank you! You’ve changed my parents lives; Mum is less stressed knowing Dad is cared for and they can carry on living at home together.

Thank you, Live in Care, for enabling Mum to spend her last day at home, where she wanted to be. This has been a great comfort to us all and we couldn’t have asked for better care in the last few weeks.

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.

Moving to live-in care at home was such a big decision for the family and we wanted to make sure we got it right for Mum and Dad.  From the first instance when we made the call to Live in Care it felt right, their understanding and empathy was evident, and they gave great advice too.  We’re so pleased we made the right decision, and our parents are the happiest they’ve ever been, safe at home with wonderful care.
