| Annotation | Discharge of older people from hospital and the preparation of care when they return home or go into residential care is a crucial part of community care. Pressure on hospital beds and social services make it even more important that all agencies work together to ensure that older people receive the service they need when they leave hospital. This booklet covers teamwork, preparing discharge from hospital, preparing the care plan (including assessing needs), and returning home. Guidance is based on a variety of official and non-official reports, and is offered as a contribution to better practice and more effective inter-agency co-operation. (RH). |
