Hospital Homecoming /  prevention

This is a service for people who have recently been discharged from hospital, we can provide help with errands, some company or signposting. However we don’t undertake personal care such as washing or changing dressing and catheters and we cant administer medications.

If you are concerned someone you care about its at risk of being admitted to hospital we can also help people in the community with errands and companionship that may help prevent their admission into hospital. Not sure if we can help? Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
