Short-Term Home Care

Short-term home support may be considered for a defined period. The intended start date, estimated end date, tasks and review arrangements should be discussed.

For post-hospital care, the family should have the discharge instructions and follow-up information available for the relevant professional.

The schedule and end date are subject to staff availability and written confirmation.

Discuss these points before booking

• Exact dates and shift timings
• Nursing or non-clinical attendant role
• Responsibilities included and excluded
• Staffing, breaks and handover arrangements
• Charges, cancellation and payment terms
• Family contact and escalation plan
