Post-Hospital Live-in Care, at Home

What we provide

Personal care delivered with skill, empathy and continuity.

Safe day of discharge

The carer is in the home before discharge, briefed on the discharge plan, ready to receive the person and any equipment.

Medication oversight

Reliable prompts and clear records from day one — the period when medication errors most often happen.

Rehab and mobility support

Following the physio and OT plan, encouraging safe exercise and reducing the risk of further falls.

Personal and continence care

Discreet, patient personal care during the weeks when independence has to be rebuilt.

Nutrition and hydration

Home-cooked meals, hydration prompts and weight monitoring through the recovery window.

Coordinated with district nurses

Working alongside district nurses, reablement teams and GPs to keep recovery on plan.

Clinical interventions remain with NHS teams. Our carers provide the personal-care support that complements the discharge and rehabilitation plan.

Common questions

What families ask us most.

How quickly can a carer start after discharge?

We often introduce a suitable live-in carer within 48–72 hours of referral — sometimes the same day for the most urgent discharges. Call as early as you can in the discharge process.

Do you work with hospital discharge teams?

Yes — we work routinely with discharge coordinators, intermediate care and reablement teams across NHS trusts, including across the counties we cover.

Is post-hospital care short-term or long-term?

Many post-hospital placements start as a 4–12 week recovery package and then either step down as independence returns, or step up into ongoing live-in care.

Can you support someone recovering from a fall or stroke?

Yes — these are among the most common post-hospital placements. We match carers with experience of falls recovery, stroke rehabilitation and post-surgical care.
