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?
- Are you happy to encourage the exercises the physio has given?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

Questions families ask
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.
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.
What do you do with my details?
We use them only to make your introductions and send any guides you've agreed to. They're deleted after 12 months without activity, or sooner if you ask.

Help after a hospital stay nearby
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.
