My husband's experience of the Hospital at Home service was very positive. Being at home in his own surroundings meant he was less anxious and more relaxed. I feel this helped greatly towards a quick recovery from sepsis. Having availed of this service twice, I think it is certainly the best for more elderly persons- lowers the risk of hospital infections and is more convenient for family who are involved in caring for the person at home.
The nursing staff who came to administer IV medicine were very professional and, at the same time, friendly and approachable, able to answer any questions I had.
"More convenient for family"
