Home From Hospital
By Anila McDonald
For elderly and vulnerable people, one of the most worrying things about a hospital stay is returning home. Settling back into a routine and managing at home can be difficult, especially if you live alone.
Transitional Support
Home-from-Hospital care offers the transitional support a person needs to feel emotionally and physically capable of living independently again after a hospital stay. A specialist carer is on-hand day and night, helping prevent falls or other accidents while assisting them to rebuild confidence.
At McDonald Homecare, we will carefully find the right person to help you or a loved one get back on their feet again, so the right level of support and encouragement is in place to give a person back their independence and confidence.
Tailored 1-1 Support
We can help you find the right companion that provides peace of mind whilst maximising independence in a safe, familiar and happy environment. Our long standing relationships are with care workers that have proven themselves in providing excellent care. With over 25 years in the care sector, we’ve also developed a highly selective recruitment process.
All our carers have extensive live in care experience, from companionship to complex dementia care. They are fully checked and vetted to Care Quality Commission standards. This includes Enhanced DBS checks, a full work history, multiple professional references and verified up-to-date training.
On top of all the mandatory and regulatory compliance checks, we look for people who are naturally caring, compassionate and uphold our values of trust and integrity.
