Older People - Regaining Health and Independence - Home Response (Floating)

The service is designed to support people to return home as soon as they are medically fit for discharge. People will be able to return home safely and supported to prevent readmission into hospital services.

Aims and Objectives

• Support people to return home safely from hospital and prevent readmission

wherever possible.

• Provide support to older people (60+) living in the community to prevent admission
