Getting home after a hospital stay is tricky. Who will drive you? Have they got time to leave work to help? At Vitalis we will collect you from the ward, ensure you have all medications, equipment etc. you need and get you home safely. Once home we will make your bed, make you a cup of tea, organise some shopping and ensure you are comfortable and settled before we leave.
Your hospital and you have worked hard to achieve a great health outcome for you. Transitional hospital to home care will help you continue on your road to recovery.
WORKING WITH YOUR MEDICAL TEAM, VITALIS WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT AN INDIVIDUALISED CARE PLAN THAT WILL OPTIMISE YOUR RECOVERY AS YOU TRANSITION FROM HOSPITAL TO THE COMFORT AND REASSURANCE OF YOUR HOME.
Everything from your everyday needs to high-level clinical Hospital in the Home services are planned and delivered by your Vitalis team.
