Short-term home care
Our short-term home care service operates in Essex, London and West Sussex and is here to provide you with the support you need to regain confidence and independence in your own home following a spell of ill health, surgery or an accident.
About the service
Commissioned by local authorities and Health partners our short-term care services focus on supporting recovery, stabilisation and confidence building, ensuring that your needs are met and agreed outcomes are achieved.
To be eligible for the service you will have been assessed by a social care or health professional as needing a period of intensive support and located in Essex, London, or West Sussex. Take a look at our 'Outstanding' and 'Good' CQC ratings.
Who can make referrals?
Referrals are made by social care professionals in hospital or community settings.
Hospital referrals (community or acute) can be made via the ward (where a ward led approach exists) or by the Social Care Hospital Assessment Team or equivalent for your locality.
Community referrals can be made by GPs, Community Health Providers, Community Nurses, Community Social Work teams, Single Point of Referral (SPOR) or Single Point of Access (SPOA), whichever operates in your locality.
