The Home First service brings together nurses, therapists, health and therapy assistants, to work with the acute Multi-Disciplinary Team & Transfer of Care Hubs to promote an efficient, effective discharge from hospital to the patient’s own home.
Our multidisciplinary teams work flexibly to provide a 7-day service, 365 days a year, between 8am and 8pm. Patients who are discharged from hospital into Home First will be receiving step-down intermediate care, involving community-based assessments and interventions provided in their own home to support recovery and monitoring of their health in the early days post discharge to prevent re-admission. Home First will, where required, provide acute reablement for up to 10 days, supporting people to achieve functional goals and work towards independence with activities of daily living.
You could become part of our exciting service, bringing the unique benefits of a wraparound recovery service from hospital discharge. The principle of the service ensuring that recovery involves working towards the person being as independent as possible through enablement.
