Home from Hospital

Are you worried about getting home from hospital and may need help when you get there?

We are working in partnership with Age UK Wiltshire and Age UK Salisbury District to provide a Home from Hospital service in Wiltshire.

We can:

  • Arrange a home visit or phone call post-discharge
  • Check you have food and help with the shopping
  • Make sure your home is warm and comfortable
  • Offer support and advice to carers
  • Collect prescriptions
  • Arrange for telecare and other services
  • Help you catch up with any unpaid bills

This service is available to patients, or carers of patients, at:

  • Royal United Hospital, Bath
  • Great Western Hospital, Swindon
  • Salisbury Foundation Trust
  • Any other Wiltshire hospital

The Home from Hospital service is completely free and available for a short period after discharge. It is available to anyone aged 18 or over who is living in Wiltshire and is unable to access NHS or social care services.

If you are concerned about how you or someone you know will manage when returning home, please get in touch:
