Hospital to Home Care FAQs
Do you offer hospital to home care services in Uxbridge? ExpandYes. Life Care Plus does offer hospital to home care services in Uxbridge. We provide a range of services to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home for patients. These services include coordinating with hospital discharge planners, arranging transportation, providing medical equipment and supplies, assisting with medication management, and offering skilled nursing care at home.

What is included in your hospital to home care services? Expand
Our hospital to home care services include a range of comprehensive and personalised services to ensure a smooth transition from hospital to home. These services include assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, as well as medication management and administration. The team at Life Care Plus works closely with patients, their families, and healthcare professionals to develop a customised care plan that meets the specific needs and goals of each individual.
Can the hospital put you in a care home? ExpandNo. A hospital cannot directly put someone in a care home. The decision to move a patient from a hospital to a care home would typically involve a collaborative effort between the patient, their family, and the healthcare professionals involved in their care.
The hospital may provide recommendations or assist with the transition process, but ultimately, the decision to move to a care home would be made based on the patient’s needs, preferences, and the availability of appropriate care facilities. It is important to consult with healthcare providers and explore all available options when considering a move to a care home.
What is it called when you are sent home from hospital? ExpandWhen a person is sent home from the hospital, it is commonly referred to as discharge or being discharged. Discharge typically occurs when the patient’s condition has improved to a point where they no longer require the level of care provided in a hospital setting. The healthcare team evaluates the patient’s progress, ensures they have necessary medications or follow-up appointments, and provides instructions for at-home care. Discharge is an important step in the recovery process, allowing patients to continue their healing journey in the comfort of their own homes.
Can I request to go home from hospital? ExpandYes. You can request to go home from the hospital if you feel ready, but the decision is up to your healthcare team who will assess your condition and consider factors such as your medical needs and ability to manage your recovery. Open communication with your healthcare team is important.
Does the NHS provide home care? ExpandIf an individual receives care in their own residence, the NHS will cover the expenses associated with the necessary care and support to address their assessed health and related care requirements, including personal assistance with tasks such as bathing and dressing. Similarly, if an individual receives NHS continuing healthcare in a residential care facility, the NHS will assume responsibility for covering the costs of their care home fees.
