Home from Hospital aims to provide people with dementia with emotional and practical support on admission into hospital, for the duration of stay and upon discharge .

This specialised service will support the person with dementia and their family in order to minimise their stay in hospital and prevent readmission by providing practical support before, during and after their stay in hospital. We provide support for up to six weeks after discharge and the service is free to the patient.

The service can provide: 

• 1 to 1 support on wards
• Practical Support eg. shopping, prescriptions, preparation of the home, domestic duties
• Assisting and supporting with GP or hospital visits
• Medication administration.
