Helping You Return Home from Hospital
At Summit Healthcare Solutions, we provide a range of hospital discharge care options, often at short notice. This can include hourly visits, night care, or 24-hour live-in support if required. Our hospital-to-home care is flexible and can be arranged on a short-term basis, helping clients with rehabilitation and recovery until they are able to manage with less support—or even independently.
What Is Hospital to Home Care?
Hospital-to-home care ensures that the right level of support is in place for people returning home after a hospital stay. Discharge is only possible when a person can safely leave hospital with appropriate care arranged, and our role is to make this transition as smooth and safe as possible.
This is particularly important for people living with cognitive conditions such as dementia, as a return to their familiar home environment can reduce confusion, disorientation, and stress caused by prolonged hospital stays.
Individuals who typically benefit from hospital-to-home care include those who are:
-
Currently in the hospital and preparing to return home
-
Scheduled for hospital treatment and will need support afterwards
-
Seeking practical advice or assistance with returning home safely
-
Already home but requires extra care following a recent hospital stay
No matter your situation, we provide highly personalised care tailored to your specific needs.
How Hospital to Home Care Works
We can arrange hospital discharge support at short notice, whether for emergencies or planned operations such as hip replacements or major surgery. Our experienced home care management team works closely with you, your family, and other healthcare professionals to ensure a safe and timely return to the comfort of your own home.
This often involves collaboration with:
-
Hospital discharge teams
-
Occupational therapists
-
Social services
-
Doctors and district nurses
We offer a free assessment of your care needs—either in hospital or upon your return home—to agree on how best to support you. This may include help with rehabilitation, convalescence, and recovery, working alongside physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
Comprehensive Care at Home
In addition to rehabilitation support, our home carers provide assistance with:
-
Personal care and hygiene
-
Medication management
-
Domestic tasks and meal preparation
-
Companionship and emotional support
-
Specialist care for complex conditions, including dementia, Parkinson’s, and stroke care
Our goal is to ensure you receive the right care for your recovery while maintaining independence and comfort at home.
