Age UK East Sussex works closely with the Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone and Kent Community Hospitals, to enable older people to be discharged from hospital and return home in a safe and timely manner. The service ensures patients are accompanied home, safely settled in and comfortable.

The service has a particular emphasis on supporting those who live alone, who are carers, or who have had a fall.  Patients are referred from the Hospital Intervention Teams or from wards. Self-referrals may also be accepted with prior agreement from the Hospital Intervention Teams.
