"A comprehensive and effective service"

Hospital at home is an amazing, comprehensive and effective service with a fantastic and dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced professionals. Each staff member working with my father was courteous and respectful. He was unwell for 1 week but I believe he would have been sick for longer with a traditional hospital stay. Being treated at home made the biggest difference to his recovery. Hospital services are a difficult, challenging and often a traumatic experience for older people with complex medical needs. HAH is a lifeline for older people who become ill and unwell.

I would highly recommend this service and strongly advocate for its expansion so more older people receive medical treatment at home, reducing infection, corridor care and less falls and adverse incidents.

We would like to say a special thank you to all the HAH team. The nurses, doctors, and Carla the pharmacist, whose medication review reduced medication and awful side effects of diarrhoea, enhancing quality of life. Also to Beatriz the OT- she has amazing bedside manner and very patient centred. Her input has helped dad stay at home and feel safer by reducing his risk of falls.

Thanks again to all the team. ​
