Home From Hospital
Assisted Discharge Service
Based at North Manchester General Hospital, our team transport people home safely who have no other suitable means of getting home.
The aim of this service is to identify vulnerable or isolated patients prior to discharge and provide personalised support so they are prepared, transported and settled back into their home.
Independence Support Work
Our Independence Support Workers help people to settle back into their homes by providing tailored practical and emotional support, helping people to re-adjust to home life after a change in health and a hospital visit.
A combination of home-visiting and telephone support for up to 4 weeks to help people
Home from Hospital Adaptations
Our Handyperson team complete works to aid hospital discharge within 48 hours to help people safely return home from hospital.
We receive referrals directly from the hospital and can fit essential aids such as key safes, grab rails and bannister rails. We can also move furniture to make room for a hospital bed or other equipment, as well as securing any trip hazards in the home.
Telephone Support
Our team make calls to over 60’s recently discharged from, or who have recently attended A&E at North Manchester General Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary or Wythenshawe Hospital
Our phone support checks to see how the person is doing back at home and whether they need any support.
We can refer on to our own services if appropriate, as well as signpost on to other suitable services across the city.
