A service offered in some areas when you are well enough to leave hospital, but still need some support. The planning for your future support takes place in your own home rather than in hospital: an assessment of your needs is carried out in your own home on the same day as you leave hospital. This service may also be used to help you avoid going into hospital, by providing the care and support you need at home.
