Transitional Care

Transitioning from hospital to home, or between any care settings, can be overwhelming for both clients and families. At Heart of Gold Homecare, our Transitional Care service is designed to provide practical support and professional reassurance, helping clients recover comfortably at home while ensuring their care needs are fully met from the moment they return.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, or adjusting to new care requirements, we offer flexible, tailored support to ease the transition and help you regain confidence and independence.

What is Transitional Care?

Transitional Care provides short-term assistance for individuals leaving hospital, rehabilitation facilities, or residential care settings. This specialised service ensures that continuity of care is maintained, reducing the risk of complications, readmission, or unnecessary stress.

Our Transitional Care Services Include:

• Pre-Discharge Planning – Working with hospital discharge teams, GPs, and families to create a personalised transition plan tailored to your health, mobility, and care requirements.
• Home Preparation – Ensuring home adaptations, mobility aids, and care essentials are in place ahead of your return, so you can settle in comfortably and safely.
• Personal Care Assistance – Providing bathing, dressing, toileting, and hygiene support, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident from day one.
• Medication Support – Helping you organise medications, follow prescriptions accurately, and monitor for any side effects or concerns.
• Meal Preparation and Nutrition – Preparing nutritious meals to aid recovery, tailored to any dietary needs or post-surgical requirements.
• Mobility and Rehabilitation Support – Assisting with safe transfers, using mobility aids, and supporting any recommended physiotherapy exercises.
• Ongoing Monitoring and Reassurance – Observing any changes in health, mood, or symptoms, and ensuring prompt communication with healthcare teams if needed.

Short-Term or Ongoing Support — Fully Flexible Care

Some clients need intensive support in the first days or weeks after discharge, while others may benefit from lighter assistance over a longer period. Our Transitional Care plans are fully flexible, adapting as your strength and independence return.

Whether you need help with personal care, household tasks, or simply a friendly presence, we provide care that fits around your recovery and lifestyle.
