Hospital discharge from Hexham Hospital: How Home Instead can help
The NHS in Tyne valley, like many others around the UK, is under considerable pressure, particularly when patients are ready for discharge but lack adequate care at home. This not only burdens the healthcare system but also hinders a patient’s recovery. Home Instead Tyne Valley can step into this gap with a vital service: facilitating timely and effective hospital-to-home transitions.
Our Approach to Hospital Discharge
When patients are discharged from facilities like Hexham General Hospital, they often face the challenge of managing their recovery without adequate support. Home Instead provides a seamless solution with our quick-response hospital-to-home care services. We understand the importance of providing care that is not only timely but also empathetic and professional.
Personalised Care for Smooth Recovery at Home
A key aspect of our service is the customisation of care plans to fit individual needs. For instance, for a client who is discharged after a knee operation we can provide help with dressing changes, medication management, and mobility support, especially helpful if close family live quite a distance away. Our Care Professionals are often able to step in at short notice, providing the necessary care and ensuring safe and speedy recovery at home.

Effective post-hospital care involves more than just attending to daily needs; it requires coordination with local healthcare professionals. We liaise with local GPs and pharmacies across Tyne Valley to manage tasks like prescription collection and medication administration. This holistic approach ensures that our clients’ healthcare needs are comprehensively met.
“My dad was cared for by the excellent team at Home Instead (Tyne Valley) following his discharge home from hospital. I cannot praise their care highly enough and also the outstanding support they extended during this period to my mum and the rest of his family.” Eileen D, review at homecare.co.uk
