What is hospital discharge support for aged care?

Hospital discharge support helps aged care recipients transition safely from hospital back to their home or care facility, with services tailored to their recovery needs.

Who is eligible for post-hospital support through Help at Hand Support?

Any aged care recipient leaving the hospital who needs assistance with daily living, wound care, medication, or mobility can access our hospital discharge support services.

How quickly can support begin after discharge?

Support can begin as soon as you’re clinically ready to leave the hospital. Our team works closely with hospital staff to ensure that services are ready the moment you return home.

Can Help at Hand Support work with my existing care provider?

Yes, we collaborate with aged care homes, GPs, and existing caregivers to ensure a smooth and consistent recovery process that fits your current routines.

What if I need 24/7 care after leaving the hospital?

We provide around-the-clock support, including overnight care, medication monitoring, and emergency assistance, as needed.

Support doesn’t stop once you’re home. Our Personal Care services help aged clients manage daily routines like bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility, ensuring dignity, comfort, and safety after a hospital stay.

Whether it’s short-term recovery or long-term support, we tailor personal care to match your individual needs and preferences.
