Our Welcome Home project, in partnership with Age UK South Gloucestershire offers support at home for those who are ready to be discharged from hospital or who have recently been discharged. We provide short term, goal focused support in 6 -12 sessions. Our service can help you settle back home and rebuild your confidence for living independently at home.
To find out how we support patients aged 18+ visit our Hospital Link Workers page.
You or your family member is eligible for this service if the patient/client is:
- A resident in South Gloucestershire
- Over the age of 50 years old
What support can we offer?
The types of support that we offer are primarily encouragement, empowerment and support to increase your independence and confidence with every day tasks. This could look like:
- Phone support alongside home visits
- Accompanying you to carry out an everyday task
- Accompanying you to community activities, groups or appointments
- Signposting and connecting you to other appropriate services
- Providing you with information that will support and develop your independence
Please note: we cannot offer Check-in or welfare check in calls as a standalone service.
