WHY IS THE SERVICE NEEDED?

• Rising hospital admissions
• Two thirds of people admitted to hospital are over 65 years
• Older people stay in longer once admitted
• 80% of delayed discharges are in the over 70’s
• Many readmissions are avoidable
• Re-admissions in 30 days cost NHS £2.2 billion

From April 2017- March 2018

• 600 Clients were supported
• 3255 Support Visits were made
• 5.3% readmission of clients

(against 10% average Bolton readmission rate in over 65’s)

Home from Hospital Service

Developed in partnership with Bolton NHS Foundation Trust Hospital, to help older people make a safe discharge from hospital and to prevent readmission

Home from Hospital Service

Mr G is a 76 year old bachelor who lives alone in a 3 bedroomed house; he sees his elderly sister occasionally. He admits to being socially isolated and having feelings

• f loneliness. Until recently he drove his car locally and was able to do most daily
• tasks. He suffers from Parkinson’s disease and osteoporosis which has led to a

quite marked curvature of his spine. In November 2018 he had a fall at home and following a short hospital stay he was discharged home with a Zimmer frame and some community therapy. A referral was made to the HfH team and an assessment was carried out. It was apparent that he had some considerable unmet needs. How we supported Mr G:

• Attendance Allowance Application
• Befriending Visits
• Community Visits to Dominoes and Scrabble
• Wiltshire Farm Foods
• Care Line
• Ring & Ride

Needless to say Mr G has a safer and brighter future to look forward to.
