Helping to speed up hospital discharges

We understand there are a variety of reasons why some older people may not be able to return home straight away following a hospital stay.

And we recognise the challenges health professionals face on a daily basis to ensure hospital beds are optimised and patients are given the support they need to regain their independence following an episode resulting in a hospital stay.

Anchor care homes are ideally placed to help support this transition from hospital to close care or a care home environment.

As well as permanent stays, our care homes can also offer shorter breaks and convalesce care to help avoid delays in hospital discharges and prevent re-admission to hospital.

We can also work with you to deliver essential preventative services, including:

A respite stay for older loved ones when families go away on holiday
Short term care whilst a property is adapted or a home care package is put in place
Short breaks for older people in plaster after a fracture who cannot return home.

Our homes understand the importance of re-enabling individuals to achieve their independence and our broad range of services enable us to offer the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
