What Is Intermediate Care?
Intermediate Care bridges the gap between hospital and home, offering short-term care to individuals who need extra help following a hospital discharge. It plays a crucial role in preventing unnecessary hospital admissions and promoting independent living. At Home Instead Dorchester, we work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and multidisciplinary teams to create bespoke care plans that address each individual’s unique needs.
The Benefits of Intermediate Care
- Earlier Discharges: Enables individuals to leave hospital sooner and recover in a familiar environment.
- Personalised Care Visits: Tailored to daily needs such as personal care, domestic tasks, and social activities.
- Focus on Recovery: Encourages participation in a rehabilitation programme to support faster recovery and reduce the risk of hospital readmission.
