Easing the NHS Strain: How Home Instead Supports Timely Hospital Discharges

In the midst of an ever-growing strain on the NHS, a predicament has emerged in our local area – the challenge of patients being ready to depart from hospital care, yet finding themselves delayed due to inadequate support at home. 

This issue not only prolongs recovery for those individuals but also places additional burdens on our healthcare system. A solution lies in accessible, reliable home care, and that’s where Home Instead shines, offering a bridge from hospital to home care for those in need.

Our care packages are tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual, paying close attention to intricate details such as assisting with catheters or stoma bags. Our Care Professionals receive specific training to handle such requirements with the utmost consideration and proficiency.

The beauty of our service is its flexibility – care can often be arranged quickly, catering to urgent needs and unforeseen circumstances. This adaptability ensures that no person has to endure an unnecessary extension of their hospital stay due to a lack of adequate care at home.

Home Instead goes beyond just meeting the basic needs. We’re committed to ensuring our clients feel safe, comfortable, and valued in their own spaces. Sometimes, our care involves the support of two professionals, especially when using equipment like a slide hoist rotunda. Such attention to detail underscores our commitment to providing not just care, but dignity and independence to our clients.
