The Challenge of Coming Home
Leaving hospital after a stay, procedure, or treatment is a significant moment — but it can also be a stressful one. Clients may feel anxious, physically weakened, or unsure of what to expect at home. For families who cannot always be present, the worry can be considerable.
This is where Heritage Companionship steps in. Our hospital discharge support service is designed to make the transition from hospital to home as smooth, safe, and dignified as possible.

Our discharge support service covers everything from collection at the ward to being safely settled at home. This includes:
- Collection from hospital or discharge ward
- Safe accompaniment home
- Help with transport arrangements
- Assistance getting settled in at home
- Medication or prescription collection
- Shopping for essential items
- Meal preparation and hydration support
- Companionship and emotional reassurance
- Welfare checks and family updates
- Overnight or short-term companionship where needed
