When people leave the hospital, they often think that is the end of their treatment. For many people it is just the beginning of getting better. Going back home is great because it is comfortable and familiar. It also makes people wonder if they can do everyday tasks. They wonder if they will have help. They wonder what will happen if their health needs change after they leave the hospital.

These are the reasons why the NHS started the Discharge to Assess program. By staying in the hospital while doctors figure out what kind of care they need, people who are well enough to leave can go home and get better there. Then doctors can see what kind of care they need in a place that's familiar to them. This way doctors can make a care plan that's just right for them.

Mega Nursing & Care works with the NHS and other local healthcare teams to provide home care and help people get better at home. We do this in Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Gloucestershire. We help people get better at home while still being independent.

Why Recovery at Home Makes a Difference

Hospitals are ...
... great at helping people get better when they are very sick. Hospitals are not like home. At home people have to do things like make food, take medicine, climb stairs and bathe. These things can be hard to do. It is hard to know if someone can do them when they are in the hospital.

When people are at home doctors can see what kind of help they really need. This is what the NHS means by Home First. They know that people get faster when they are at home. Being at home helps people feel more confident and independent. It helps doctors make care plans that are just right for them.

Why Local D2A Care Matters

The few days after people leave the hospital are very important. They might be getting used to medicine or they might not be able to move around very well. They might need to go to therapy or see doctors a lot.

Having a care team is very helpful. They can start helping away and keep helping as people get better. Our team works with the NHS and other local healthcare teams to make sure people get the help they need. We work with doctors, nurses, therapists and other teams to make sure everything goes smoothly.

At Mega Nursing & Care our team of nurses and carers work together to help people leave the hospital safely. We make care plans that're just right for each person. We change the plans as people get better. This helps prevent problems and reduces the chance that people will have to go to the hospital.
