When home suddenly isn’t enough
Sometimes families expect discharge to be manageable, then find that stairs, meals, medication prompts or the first nights at home are harder than expected. If the plan changes once your loved one is home, our local team can help you review practical support without pressure. Magda, our Registered Care Manager, can talk through options and arrange an assessment. Call 01753 306187 the same day if you are struggling, so we can explore what may help at home.
Avoiding a gap on discharge day
Contact us before the planned leaving date where possible. We can discuss needs and, where practical, complete an assessment while the person is still on the ward. That helps us align the first visit with the journey home and the support needed when they arrive.
Self-fund, interim and NHS/council pathways
Many families choose to self-fund for speed and choice. We can discuss rates, including VAT-exempt care from £38 per hour on weekdays, subject to assessment. We do not replace hospital or council advice about funding and eligibility. Interim packages can also leave gaps, and private care may sometimes bridge those gaps while longer-term NHS or council arrangements are considered.
Urgent or same-week care after discharge
Can you start urgent or same-week care after discharge? Yes, where capacity allows—often the same day or next day once assessed. Call us from the ward on 01753 306187 to discuss what is needed.

Magda came to introduce Dad to two wonderful ladies, who are both fabulous. They are so caring, and he has really got to know and trust them. It’s lovely that he sees the same two familiar faces rather than lots of different people coming into his home. I am so grateful to the whole team for making a stressful situation so much easier for me.
Mum’s confidence had really disappeared after her fall. She stopped going out much and didn’t feel comfortable doing things on her own anymore, so it’s been lovely to see the change in her. She’s now enjoying short walks again and even feels confident enough to go into Windsor town with her carer, which she hadn’t been doing at all.
It’s made such a difference to all of us really. Mum feels safe and comfortable, and she genuinely enjoys spending time with her carer. We feel much more reassured knowing she’s in kind and capable hands and would definitely recommend Visiting Angels to any family looking for care and support.
All the carers they have provided have been very kind and gentle with Mum. Sally has been looking after Mum on a regular basis and she not only provides great care but also great company for Mum, when Dad has his head buried in a book or watching sport on TV.
Debbie has also kept in regular contact with Mum and the family making sure that we are happy with the care being provided.
Thank you Visiting Angels, keep up the good work!
The best care agency I have used, they are friendly and knowledgeable Pa’s that actually like their job
The office returns your calls about any enquires which are dealt with in a efficient and timely manner
