The Hospital Discharge Service
The Hospital discharge service can support you with your practical and social needs to prepare for a hospital admission or post hospital discharge. This service aims to reach individuals that are socially isolated who have little support from family and friends. Our friendly Hospital Discharge Inclusion officer can act as a helpful point of contact providing useful advice, guidance and support to promote a good recovery.
We can help with the following:
- Identify safety concerns in the home
- Provide information to keep your home warm
- Collect your shopping or prescriptions
- Support with transport options
- Signpost to community services and activities
- Signpost to information and advice on finances, including welfare entitlements
- Arranging for someone to call round for a chat
Availability
Monday-Friday 9-3pm.
