Question
It is recommended to redirect patients who stayed for a long period in a hospital, first to an alternative residential housing – care combined service, before get to work with them in the natural home environment?
Problem description
There is a lack of structures or services in our network that could be a possible alternative for hospitalisation
Impact - effect
When patients are leaving the hospital, going home is often the only option, however a certain supervision still appears necessary
To do
To do: explore the possibility to develop non-medical structures as we find them in Birmingham and Solihull ("respite beds"), in order to facilitate the transition between long-term hospitalisation and returning home
