| Annotation | Developing the services necessary to enable people to live independently and safely in their own homes, and, if a health problem does arise, to return home as soon as possible after a stay in hospital are all key priorities for health and social care planners. This guide looks at the range of services broadly referred to as "hospital discharge" or "home from hospital" schemes, and examines the policy framework in which these schemes are expanding and developing. It profiles in detail those services which have a particular emphasis on ensuring that homes of people leaving hospital are both adapted to their needs and also in a fit state to live in. (RH). |
