Notice Title

Provision of a Supported Hospital Discharge Service

Notice Description

The first strand Service is a short term rehabilitation, reablement and assessment service for Service Users at risk of requiring long term residential/nursing care or to prevent hospitalisation. The second strand is to promptly facilitate the discharge from hospital of in-patients or those presenting for emergency care who have been assessed as clinically fit for discharge but who may, following a further home based assessment, be found to have a need for reablement or rehabilitation and a requirement for short term or longer term support in order to remain at home.
