Step-down Care from Hospital with Specialised Support

Our Step-down Care service is designed for individuals with long-term complex health needs, including those eligible for NHS continuing healthcare. Catering to vulnerabilities such as frailty and dementia, our focus is on facilitating a smooth transition from hospital to home. Working closely with hospital discharge teams, we ensure safe and effective discharges, allowing individuals to receive crucial care in their familiar environment and avoiding unnecessary care-home admissions.

The service adheres to the principles of Living Independently, Feeling Enabled (LIFE) support practice and a Psychologically Informed Environment. Our explicit goal is to empower individuals with the necessary skills, fostering confidence, self-management, and resilience.
