Leaving Hospital: experiences of those needing reablement support at home or intermediate care is out now!

We are pleased to state that our Leaving hospital: experiences of those needing reablement support at home or intermediate care report has been released!

Hospital discharge is a common topic in the feedback Healthwatch Kirklees and Healthwatch Calderdale receive. Our data shows that some people struggle when they are discharged without enough support, which can slow their recovery and increase the risk of being readmitted to hospital. In this report, you will find stories about people’s experiences with discharge planning, the care they receive in intermediate care settings, support at home from reablement services, carers’ experiences, health inequalities, and more.
