Homesafe Plus

Patient information

Patients should be medically fit to be discharged from hospital, but would benefit from some additional support via the Homesafe Plus services in the first weeks after discharge or longer term. Homesafe Pus is also available to anyone who would benefit from the support to live at home and to prevent hospital admissions or re-admissions. They must live in Elmbridge, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Woking or Surrey Heath.

Ideally the patient should have an emergency contact, preferably one who resides close by to assist the patient if necessary. However if no emergency contacts are available, the patient must have an existing key safe or take home a temporary key safe.

The patient can still be referred to the other services detailed on the Homesafe Plus form if required. If a patient needs additional help with a service they are already receiving this can also be added to the Homesafe Plus form. 

There is a subsidised charge for Telecare services and Meals at Home and there may be charges related to some additional Handyperson services and/or equipment. Home Improvement Agency will work with the referred person to identify if grants are available to them to assist with any adaptations required. Social Prescribing and Housing advice are both offered at no charge. This information is provided as guideline only and the local borough council providing the support will inform of any charges prior to providing the services required.
