Supported Discharge from Hospital Service
Supporting the NHS to reduce discharge from hospital delays
With the aim of reducing discharge from hospital delays to free up much-needed bed space, the service supports the NHS to get people home as soon as they can.
​
For those vulnerable patients who have no other form of support at home, we can help the overcome the barriers to discharge by providing support with day-to-day living for a fixed period of time, normally between 4-6 weeks; helping with everyday chores such as shopping, picking up prescriptions and support to attend appointments.
​
We also identify any ways to reduce re-admissions and support people into their local community, signposting and providing a warm handover to other agencies who can continue supporting their needs.
