Home Care After Hospital in Berkshire<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Coming home from hospital? We arrange home care after discharge from Wexham Park in Slough, St Mark’s in Maidenhead and King Edward VII in Windsor. Our caregivers live locally, so we can often start the same day or next day.<\/p>\n

When home suddenly isn\u2019t enough<\/h2>\n

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<\/a> the same day if you are struggling, so we can explore what may help at home.<\/p>\n

Avoiding a gap on discharge day<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Self-fund, interim and NHS\/council pathways<\/h2>\n

Many families choose to self-fund for speed and choice. We can discuss rates, including VAT-exempt care from \u00a338 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.<\/p>\n

Urgent or same-week care after discharge<\/h2>\n

Can you start urgent or same-week care after discharge?<\/strong> Yes, where capacity allows\u2014often the same day or next day once assessed. Call us from the ward on 01753 306187<\/a> to discuss what is needed.<\/p>\n
