This contract will cover eligible patients within Bracknell Forest who are being discharged from hospital. The service will be managed by a coordinator who will liaise with key stakeholders to receive and action referrals. Patients will be supported for a period of six weeks, with visits and telephone calls to help with emotional needs and small practical tasks. The service is not expected to provide personal care. Key aims for this service are to: • Support patients being discharged from hospital • Enable people to live independently in their own home • Improve patient experience • Reduce hospital admission • Assist with hospital discharge • Reduce hospital readmission rates • Supporting patients to be fully sighted on additional community organisations where appropriate The Home from Hospital service will work closely with the Adult Social Care team, OT's and ward staff based in hospitals to help with the timely discharge and unnecessary admittance of patients. The project will also work closely with the Intermediate Care Teams with referrals coming through from Intermediate Care as well.
