If someone is unable to leave hospital because they have no family or other support locally, where it is appropriate, we can take them home and provide support. 

Sometimes a simple practical task can be preventing an older person being discharged from hospital - perhaps they were rushed into A&E in their nightclothes and have no suitable clothes to wear for the journey home.  Or maybe their home is in an unhygienic condition and needs a deep clean to make it safe.
