Hospital Discharge Care

There really is no place like home, especially after spending time in hospital. At Apollo, we believe that it’s important to be discharged from hospital with proper care plans in place, which is why we offer Hospital Discharge Care.

We offer support in the following areas:

A personalised and flexible approach

Before being discharged from hospital, our Care Manager compiles an appropriate care plan suited to the needs of the person who will be cared for. The plan details the level of care they require upon discharge as well as the times of day that care will be given. The care plan is not written in stone and our carer continues to monitor and alter the plan throughout the process if necessary.

Our Hospital Discharge care service is ideal either at short notice or for planned hospital discharges. Typically, discharge plans should be planned in advance or begin on admission. Last minute planning should be avoided, if possible.

A speedy recovery

The lack of an adequate discharge plan often means that the frail or elderly remain in hospital even when a return to home is possible. Our service ensures a personal discharge plan, allowing patients to return home immediately. Since spending time in hospital can cause stress on the body and mind, returning home can speed up the recovery process significantly.

Encouraging independent living

After our care, many of our clients feel confident to return to independent living. As the patient recovers, our carers encourage them to get involved in common household tasks in order to stay mentally and physically fit.

Our service meets discharged patients personal care needs, including:

Washing and dressing
Household tasks such as shopping, cooking and cleaning
Companionship
Assistance with rehabilitation
Night care

I would just like to express our thanks for the care that is being provided for our mother. When she came out of hospital last year we had great difficulty finding an agency to provide the care she needed, then luckily social services gave us your number.

You came to visit us the next day and arranged to start the next week, it was such a weight off our minds. Now after 6 months we know that she is safe and getting the extra helps she needs with daily tasks. She looks forward to the days when Sharda visits, she says she is a breathe of fresh air, always on time and flexible and treats her as a friend.

We would recommend your agency to other families for the professional yet friendly care you provide.

Thank you for giving us peace of mind.

Amanda and Rosemary have provided fantastic care to my mother -in law. We had a gap in the care plan and they were able to provide care at short notice. When we have to extend this further , again they were brilliant and provided further cover. it was a very stressful time for the family and they took all the stress away. My mother-in-law has advanced dementia and requires personal care and social activities. Apollo quickly formed a good relationship with her ,picking up on her likes and dislikes and getting her involved in activities that engaged her interest e.g. walks in the park, visit to a museum and going to church. Apollo also provided excellent personal care and ensured my mother in law was well groomed every day. They have been brilliant.

Thanks to all at Apollo for everything you have done for my mother. My mother is not always the easiest of person to look after but you have cared for her with a superb combination of kindness, compassion, and dignity for which I and my sisters will be forever grateful. Thank you for always going the extra mile.

TC Family

Thank you for all your invaluable contribution to ensuring our mum and dad had the best quality life that they could have whilst living in their flat. Care staff like yourselves do great and often under-appreciated work for the older people in our society. We want to acknowledge this and say thanks!

M Family

We would like to thank you and your excellent carers, for the care you provided our father in his final few months of his life. We found the carers to be compassionate, caring and so thoughtful. It certainly made a difference to us and to dad.

DW Family

It is difficult to find the right words to thank you and your colleagues enough for all you have done for mum. Mum was very reluctant to accept support but with your sensitive, caring approach she came to recognise that you enhanced her independence. Without this support she would not have been able to stay in her home of 64 years. Mum felt that the carers coming in were more like her friends.
