Home / Home from hospital

After a hospital stay

Home from hospital, without the worry

Coming home is the best medicine, but the first few days can be hard, especially if family live far away. We make sure someone is there, the house is ready and the fridge is full.

What we can do

A soft landing at home

Choose the parts that help. We'll tell you the likely cost before the day.

Home on the day

We collect you from the ward, or meet you at your front door, and see you safely inside.

Settled in

Heating on, bed made, kettle boiled and everything you need within reach.

Fridge and prescriptions

A food shop for the first few days and your medicines collected from the pharmacy.

A friendly face that week

Short visits in the first week to check you're comfortable, eating well and managing.

The little jobs

Post sorted, bins out and the house put straight after time away.

Help that carries on

If more support would help, Eloise can talk you through care at home and companionship.

Good to know. We're not a nursing or medical service, and we can't replace care arranged by the hospital. If the ward says care is needed at home, ask the discharge team what the NHS or council will provide first.
How it works

Simple to arrange

1

Call us

Tell us the discharge date if you know it, and what would help.

2

We plan the day

Who's collecting, what's needed in the house and who to keep updated.

3

Home and settled

We're there on the day and pop back during the first week.

What it costs

From £45

There's no package to sign up to. You pay our normal rates for the time you use: £27.50 an hour, or £45 for a two hour visit, plus 50p a mile for collection and shopping trips.

Plan ahead

Let's get them home

The earlier you call, the easier it is for us to be there on the day. We'll always be honest if we can't.

Ask about home from hospital

Leave your number and we'll ring you back, usually the same day.
