From time to time people can find living at home a bit of a struggle; perhaps you’ve had a bout of illness, or feel anxious about going out, maybe you’ve been feeling lonely, or money’s a bit tight. If you are finding it difficult to cope, for whatever reason, the Wellbeing at Home service can help.

As everyone is different, with their own individual needs, our service is completely flexible. This means we can provide you with the support that’s right for you, taking the stress out of all kinds of practical things, for example:

- putting you in touch with all health services you need
- making sure you get all the benefits you’re entitled to
- dealing with correspondence and filling in forms, such as housing benefit, council tax, Attendance Allowance
- supporting you to obtain reliable services you may need using benefits you receive
- registering with a GP, Dial-a-Ride, and other services
- making sure your home environment is safe
- accessing aids & adaptations
- speaking to other agencies on your behalf, e.g. your landlord about getting repairs sorted

The Wellbeing at Home service aims to help you remain independent at home and avoid unnecessary stays in hospital. Depending on your particular circumstances and the level of support you need, our dedicated support workers can work with you for up to 12 weeks.

You can contact us directly by phoning 020 8520 9856 to find out more about the service and how it can help you as you’re discharged from hospital.

Other people can contact us on your behalf too, such as your GP, District Nurses, ward managers, social workers, friends and family.
