Care is delivered by a range of multi-disciplinary services ensuring individuals receive the right care at the right time in the right place by the right person.
The two main aspects of these services are Intermediate Care and Hospital at Home and these teams work very closely together. The aim is to prevent unnecessary admission to acute hospital, promote faster recovery from illness and support timely discharge from hospital.

Intermediate care can provide rehabilitation and advice that will enable you to improve your ability to carry out the daily tasks and activities that matter to you. Nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social care workers, support workers and therapy assistants work together with you to support your rehabilitation and recovery. The aim is to help you return home with a level of independence that ensures you will remain safe and well for as long as possible.
