The Power of Kindness

The Home from Hospital service is for people who:

  • Live alone
  • Are isolated from their family/friends/local community
  • Have caring responsibilities
  • Where a carer is under pressure after the person they care for leaves hospital

They offer short term support with things such as:

  • Weekly respite or companionship visits
  • Help with shopping, light housework or light snack
  • Managing day to day paper work
  • Help with online access
  • Confidence building
  • Building links with community/making friends
  • Support to access community/social activities
  • Signposting to other sources of support

You can self-refer or refer family/friends
