Hospital Discharges

At Mega Care we are able to offer a range of hospital discharge care options at short notice. This may involve hourly care and / or night care, or 24-hour live-in care should this be more appropriate. Our hospital to home care service is flexible and can often be provided on a short-term respite care basis to help a client with rehabilitation and recovery, until they are able to cope with a less involved home care service or without the need for any further input at all.

What is hospital to home care?

Hospital to home care involves ensuring that an appropriate level of support is in place to help adults to return home after a hospital stay. Typically, hospital discharge will only be able to take place if the person returning home can do so safely with the right care in place and we are here to enable this. 

Individuals who use are hospital to home care service are typically either:

• Currently an in-patient in hospital seeking to return home immediately after being discharged
• Due to be admitted to hospital and will require support after they have been discharged
• In need of practical help or advice about returning home after leaving hospital
• Already at home and in need of extra support following a recent stay in hospital

Whatever your needs may be, Mega Care is here to provide a highly personalised care service tailored to your exact needs.

How is hospital to home care arranged?

We are able to provide support with hospital discharge at short notice on an emergency basis or following a scheduled hospital visit for planned operations such as hip replacement or major surgery. Our specialist home care management team will work closely with you, your family and other healthcare professionals involved to ensure you are able to enjoy a safe and prompt return to the comfort and familiarity of your own home. This may include working alongside other professionals such as the Discharge Team, occupational therapists, social services, doctors and District Nurses.

We are able to carry out a free assessment of your needs in the hospital and / or upon your return home which will be used to agree with you how you wish to be supported at home. This often involves help with recuperation, convalescence and rehabilitation for which our team of professional home carers are able to work closely with other healthcare professionals.

Our support staff can help you with all other aspects of living in your own home including domestic help, companionship, medication help, personal care or specialist care for more complex conditions.
