Our new 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. Our service can help you settle back home and rebuild your confidence for living independently at home.
To find out how we can help patients 18+ get out of hospital, visit our Hospital Link Workers page.
You or your family member is eligible for this service if the patient/client is:
- Over the age of 50 years old
- A resident in South Gloucestershire
- Was recently discharged from hospital within the past six weeks.
