Post-Hospital & Convalescence Care in Birmingham

The first weeks after a hospital stay are when people are most vulnerable - to another fall, to not eating or drinking enough, or to losing confidence. Convalescence care puts a live-in carer in place from the day you come home, so recovery can carry on safely in your own surroundings.

As you get stronger, support is reduced. Many people need a few weeks; some find they'd like a little ongoing help afterwards.

How your carer helps

  • Assessment before discharge, where possible
  • Help with washing, dressing and moving safely
  • Nourishing meals and plenty of fluids

  • Encouragement with exercises from physiotherapists
  • Lifts or company to follow-up appointments

Planning ahead of discharge

Call us as soon as a discharge date is mentioned. We can talk to you and, where helpful, the ward team, so we understand what support is needed. After discharge you may also be offered free NHS or council reablement for up to six weeks; a live-in carer can work alongside it and cover the hours in between.

Questions families ask

Often within days - and ideally on the day you leave hospital. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to line everything up.
