About help after a hospital stay

What it usually involves

Help in the first days and weeks at home: settling back in, meals, washing and dressing, shopping, collecting prescriptions, and someone checking in while confidence returns.

How a self-employed carer can help

Visits can often be arranged quickly, then reduced as your loved one recovers. Clinical needs such as wound care are for the district nurses.

Questions worth asking

How soon could you start?
Can you add or reduce visits as things change?

Helpful guides

Questions families ask

Is any help free after a hospital stay?

Often, yes. Ask the ward about reablement: short-term support at home to help someone get back on their feet. In England it's free for up to six weeks; elsewhere, ask the hospital or the council.

When should we start looking?

Before discharge, if you can. Hospitals can discharge at short notice, and having someone lined up makes the first days much easier.

Can you tell me when someone joins near me?

Yes. Join the waiting list and we'll email you as soon as someone covering your area joins.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
