Through Recovery at Home, those who need greater support while they’re getting back to normal after a short term condition can also be provided with bed-based care, meaning more intensive support can be offered in their own home, including residential or nursing care homes. And those who need to be in a fully supported environment will be given all of the support and advice they need to get them ready to return home and live independently.

This centralised team gives carers, GPs, health and social care staff, as well as other agencies, like the police, an invaluable single point of contact for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities who are at greatest risk of hospitalisation.
