Hospital discharge care is an essential service, particularly for elderly who are transitioning back home after a stay in the hospital. This period can be notably challenging, as recovery from illness or injury often means that even basic daily activities become strenuous and mobility is significantly reduced.
At Live In Buckinghamshire, our hospital discharge service offers crucial support during this delicate phase, ensuring a safe and comfortable return to the home environment.
Opting for home-based recovery with our support can often negate the need for prolonged stays in rehabilitation facilities or other care institutions. This home-based approach not only promotes healing in a familiar and comforting setting but also aids in a smoother transition, ensuring that patients can focus on their recovery without the added stress of adapting to a new environment.
Before a patient is discharged, our team engages closely with the hospital’s healthcare staff to gain a comprehensive understanding of the care requirements, necessary equipment, therapy schedules and more. This collaboration enables us to develop a customised care plan tailored to meet the specific needs of your loved on during their convalescence at home.
Our empathetic carers are trained to assist with a variety of tasks including shopping, preparing meals, light housekeeping, managing medication reminders, dressing changes and more. In addition, we work in conjunction with visiting nurses and physical or occupational therapists to ensure a cohesive approach to recovery.
Our carers provide constant safety supervision and mobility assistance, significantly reducing the risk of falls and injuries that can occur when patients are left to manage on their own. Moreover, our service offers the invaluable benefit of friendly companionship, which plays a key role in the emotional well-being of your loved one during recovery.
