Home from Hospital Support for Carers
Has the person you care for recently been discharged from hospital?
Do you require support in caring for them at home?
If so, our Carers Project can help you!
It is not unusual for carers to feel isolated or in need of support
when their dependant returns home from hospital. With this in
mind, Local Solutions’ Carers Project provides an outreach
service for carers, in partnership with the Royal Liverpool and
Broadgreen University Hospital Trust (RLBUHT).
The Home from Hospital service assists carers in a number of ways,
including:
- co-ordinated support services
- accessing benefits
- shopping
- attending hospital appointments
- respite care
- signposting to other agencies
The Home from Hospital outreach worker also acts as an advocate for
carers, liaising with statutory and voluntary agencies to ensure
access to services.
The worker is also responsible for promoting and raising awareness
of issues in local communities, and providing support, on a
one-to-one basis, or via the telephone.
If you require Home from Hospital support, or would like to know
