Plain English definition

Think Local Act Personal

Help that you may be offered if you are well enough to go home from hospital but if you don't have much support at home - for example, if you live on your own. This service may be provided by a home care service or by volunteers, who can help you get home from hospital and get settled in your home, preparing food and doing any necessary shopping for you.
