I collapsed and after paramedics contacted my GP, who immediately made it a home visit and prescribed two antibiotics, a rapid response team assessed needs. From then on a short term assessment and rehabilitation service (STARS) arranged a daily visit from a carer to help me to wash and dress. The STARS team also provided various useful pieces of equipment, and the team leader and other managers kept in contact to advise and check on the support that I was receiving.
