Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you start providing care after I am discharged from hospital?
We aim to be highly responsive. Once you have made contact, we work quickly to conduct a home assessment and coordinate with the discharge team to put a safe, effective care package in place as soon as you arrive home.
Can your carers assist with specific mobility exercises recommended by my physiotherapist?
Yes, our carers can provide encouragement and physical support to help you practise the exercises prescribed by your physiotherapist as part of your programme.
What happens if my wound looks infected or I develop a high temperature?
Our carers monitor for signs of infection or other complications. If they observe a change in your condition or a high temperature, they follow a clear protocol, immediately contacting the nominated family member or seeking advice from the relevant healthcare professional.
Do you coordinate with the hospital discharge team and my GP?
Absolutely. We ensure excellent communication with the hospital’s discharge coordinator and your GP to ensure the care plan is seamlessly transferred and implemented upon your arrival home.
Is this service only for a few weeks, or can it be long-term?
Our post operative care is typically short-term, focusing on reablement. However, if your recovery reveals a need for continued long-term care, we can seamlessly adjust your package to provide ongoing support.
